We had a chat this morning with the village govt. (of our future home in Japan hopefully) with regards to our application and timelines.

They were initially planning to interview us in January or February but we explained the timelines around applying for my visa and needing to no well ahead of that for putting our house on the market etc. and they are going to try and arrange interview(s) with the mayor and deputy mayor early to mid-October instead..

My next course started today and first assignment will be due around then.. and hopefully I’ll have some intensive driving lessons next month too..

October looking very busy but hopefully some pressure will be relieved with an official contract offer.
