Living in Nagano: September 2013
http://livinginnagano.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
My life in Japan. Wednesday, 25 September 2013. Saw this beauty outside my local 7Eleven this morning . I'd say that's most of the cast of Anpanman, a kid's cartoon. The driver was a middle-aged office worker who gave me a sour look when she saw me photographing her car. Come on, let those cuddly little bread-men cheer you up . Tuesday, 24 September 2013. Munchin' the Bugs . Inago are deep-fried locusts. About to enter the mouth . In it goes . Friday, 20 September 2013. Construction a-go-go part 1. In th...

Living in Nagano: October 2013
http://livinginnagano.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
My life in Japan. Sunday, 27 October 2013. Repairing the shed roof. So, for those of you who don't know, the wife and me recently picked up a pretty old house which we're in the process of doing up. It needs a lot of work done on it, but today I took a break from the insides to get to something I've been meaning to do for ages, repairing the roof of the shed. Anyway, here's some pics. The bit I had to do was the nearer two pieces. I actually turned them over because they were all bent and warped and ...

A Million Miles from Anywhere. Sunday, 14 September 2014. Introducing . Chris Ward's World of Words Volume 1. The recent publication of Finding My World was my seventh full length novel to be published.

And how much is this delightful boxed set that contains 1300 pages of awesome writing? Get it while you can, because I might come to my senses soon. Introducing &...

My life in Japan. Monday, 6 May 2013. My desk at work. An exclusive look at where I work! This is my desk at the high school where I work three days a week (Tues and Thurs I go to my "visit" school).

Piled up on the left is a bunch of stuff I was preparing for a talk on England. Nagano Commercial High School. Saturday, 4 May 2013. In thes...

Living in Nagano: November 2013
http://livinginnagano.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
My life in Japan. Monday, 11 November 2013. Cold comes to Nagano. First night of the year where it was proper cold yesterday, down as low as one degree centigrade. It won't be long before we start seeing frost in the mornings. I do love this time of year, I have to say. Over the mountains from us in the ski resort of Hakuba, it's already started to snow. You can see pics of it here. None here in Nagano yet, but soon, soon, soon . Thursday, 7 November 2013. Tuesday, 5 November 2013. I'm a bit of a speech ...

A Million Miles from Anywhere: Can a spayed female cat be sexually assaulted by an unneutered male?
http://amillionmilesfromanywhere.blogspot.com/2012/04/can-splayed-female-cat-be-sexually.html
A Million Miles from Anywhere. Tuesday, 17 April 2012. Can a spayed female cat be sexually assaulted by an unneutered male? Yesterday, while at work, I received a rather concerned phone call from the wife informing me that my cute cat, Miffy, may have had some trouble with one of the local cats that we see around from time to time. Miffy : victim of a sex crime? Apparently that's one of the reasons. Http:/ cats.about.com/cs/pregnancybirth/a/mating game.htm. Http:/ www.answerbag.com/q view/10084. Which on...

A Million Miles from Anywhere: January 2015
http://amillionmilesfromanywhere.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
A Million Miles from Anywhere. Tuesday, 6 January 2015. Every time I have an "am I a good writer or not? Moment, I pull out this very short story I wrote in one inspired hour back in 2012. It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks about it, as far as I'm concerned this is as close as I've ever come to writing something perfect. It was heavily inspired by Ray Bradbury's The Lake. This is all about a girl, you see. Amy was a year younger than me, she said. Fifteen. Scrawny but cute, her hair pulled...8216;...
