About this blog

Welcome to my little corner of the interweb - a place of refuge from a house full of Japanese women and the problems of modern life; a place where spleens can be vented, mysteries explored, wrongs righted and funny bones tickled.

Your humble scribe

A mild-mannered,if occasionally grumpy English middle-aged beer lover with a passion for Japan, martial arts, travel and a whole load of other things.
