Another birthday cake

This is the cake Manami made for me.  Philip cooked dinner last night and we had this cake for dessert.

Thanks for your birthday greetings, Michael.

I thought I had Japanese verbs sorted for this morning's lesson, but no.  As usual my students told me the text book is wrong.  I really need to understand Japanese verbs so I can teach the equivalent English ones, but it appears there are very few equivalents - it's all totally different.  VERY difficult.

Off now to pick Emma up from school and take her to piano practice.  Will study these wretched verbs in the car while I'm waiting for her. Need to practise piano myself when we get back, then later I'll go to stretch/yoga class.
