Today is another rainy day. The sound of rain drops is interspersed with the swooshing sound of cars driving through the film of water covering the streets. Temperature is cool enough to need the heater, perfect for curling up under the kotatsu with a novel, or playing around on the computer from the same location!
A kotatsu is one of the things I love here. It is a low table with an electric heater attached to the frame under the table top. A thin quilt is placed over the frame and under the table top, making a toasty space to slide your legs into. The drawback is kids, pets and other people hanging about are very reluctant to move. Bribery abounds as everyone tries to get someone else to bring another mikan, drink, or change the DVD. The kotatsu quilts have been put away as spring is almost here...but today, I'm tempted to bring them out again, at least for another couple of weeks!
