Sunday Shopping

They went that away

Shopping for Windows: On Sunday after shaking the cobwebs from my head from a few beers on Saturday, Ritsy and I took a tour around Hamamatsu looking at various shops. As I mentioned now that I am entering(about half way through term towards) fatherhood, I want to get a handle on the costs that we will be facing next year. So went around and checked out a few second hand shops and saw that we could save some cash by buying some second hand goods without sacrificing quality. Even some of the stuff we saw wasn't really used, it was just being cleared from store stock. The road is getting brighter too! Chris offered to put up a notice for his students canvassing them for any baby stuff they might want to get rid of- a truly kind and greatly appreciated offer! Also today one of my students, Koji-san said that one of his wife's friends had a baby bed they only used a few times they want to get rid of- so we might have a free bed! People's thoughtfulness and generosity never cease to astound me!
