One Lovely Blog Award

wp-1452601946781

I actually have a cute award for my blog! Lots of thanks to ~~ emzlee 🙂 for nominating me!

  • Thank the person/people who nominated you and include a link to their blog.
  • List the rules and display the award.
  • Add 7 facts about yourself.
  • Nominate other bloggers.
  • Let them know they have been nominated.

So, first things first, here are seven (random) facts about me:

  1. I love cycling and cafes. If I ever get more than a couple of hours to myself in which I don’t have anything else to do, I’ll combine those two loves and cycle off to a cafe.
  2. I am a total caffeine addict. See previous point.
  3. For someone who has lived in Japan for as long as I have, my Japanese is really not great.
  4. I love writing. I have ideas for all sorts of writing projects in my head, but getting them started, let alone finished, is a challenge.
  5. I’m not a confident cook. I’m not a bad one, but I often feel anxious about what in the world I’m going to make for dinner, or my own lunch.
  6. I love frogs, deer and monkeys, but cats are my absolute favourite animal.
  7. I’m sometimes not entirely sure what to do with this blog. I’m pretty sure this shows. Should I do more stuff about my life? More longer essay-like posts? If there’s something you especially enjoy reading here, please let me know!

Anyone reading this who wants to should feel free to lovely-award themselves, but I always like finding new blogs through these sorts of things so I’ll nominate five people:
