Well today was the end of year competition at the Honbu Dojo followed by the end of year party! So as there was no training today I manged to have a long lye - result!!!!!
Headed up to the dojo around 1pm to watch the end of year competition before the party started at 2pm. On the way to the dojo I was approached by Yokozawa Sensei (Previously Watanabe Sensei) and her baby it was a nice feeling that she had recognised me as it had been a while since
I had last seen her. So we walked to the dojo together chatting as we went.

The dojo was really busy with lots of parents watching their children compete and a nice relaxed and friendly atmosphere. The competition finshed and the matts were lifted and the party commenced where the beer and the food kept flowing for several hours. The party was difficult at times as everyone speaking Japanese so was hard to get involved in any real conversations. Although was nice to see all the Sensei's drink beer and have some fun in a relaxed environment. Around 5pm the party was coming to an end so I decided to head back to my apartment to relax and enjoy a wee smirnoff and coke before bed.
