Monday, Nov 4
- fourth work day
- more podcasts including: cemeteries and urban development in singapore, the gender gap in data, catching up on news, designing ‘raw’ golf courses
- new irish volunteer!
- milk + mugicha = milk decaf coffee wow
- evening planning, researching for next steps, mini movie night (chose the wrong movie so ended up at rick and morty lol)
halfway point part 2! total 79 days, so just a little over the halfway point now…. *horror face
snack in afternoon shift: peeled persimmon (kaki) straight off the tree, super fresh + not too tough but not melty soft like the last one he gave me, thanks K.!
dinner: marinated daikon and pork slices, deep fried chicken with mayonnaise and sauces, cherry tomatoes (which always taste so fresh as if straight off the vine?? someday might ask if they’re from their own garden or something) + salad, and Y. also gave us some grilled fish after!! + rice + mugicha

spot me in the mirror waiting to flag down the new irish vol because K. said he might’ve been going in circles bit lost 
moon + fuji 🙂 
pick up truck, weeding gear, the peach? tree fields ahead that used to be rice terraces, 5 terraces we just finished
milk + mugicha (barley tea) = decaffeinated milk coffee, you’re welcome
i don’t even coffee but it’s strongish taste like milk tea gives me, but decaf, not just herbal, fantastic
(I excitedly told H. but apparently it’s been a thing on Japanese recipe sites forever, she also found out on her own then realized she (and me too) were just late to the game lol)
new podcast I was exploring today: 99% Invisible. It’s about design, pretty interesting so far. also starting to listen to ‘In the Studio‘ by BBC about (nontraditional?) artists/creatives, like a golf course designer! learning a lot step by step 💪
