Annabelle's Amazing Adventuras: Cucumber Graves

Today started with shock at breakfast as the programme we were watching was interrupted to announce that North Korea had fired something into the sea of Japan. Sawami misread it initially and for a few moments, we thought it was the end. After that brief announcement, breakfast carried on as usual. I started work by washing more cucumbers than usual, and then some beetroots and carrots. We then spent the rest of the morning packaging vegetables into nice arrangements in boxes.

We had a yummy lunch of somen and went back to packaging beetroots cucumbers with the help of Ishin (I remembered his name!). Then Kiyo's sister came and took some boxes of the bad cucumbers into her car to do who knows what with. We then had a short break and Grandma had brought me yakimanju which was very nice, 8/10 will definitely get some again.

After that we went out with Kiyo to one of the cucumber fields and picked up all the stray cucumbers that had disbanded from the flock and were lying about, going rotten. We put them all in little graves that Kiyo had dug and went to the other field to do the same, plus collected any dead or yellow leaves we saw still attached to the plants so that the plant would stop sending energy their way. After we finished up there, I was dropped home and relaxed a bit before dinner. Then sleep!
