Both of my “mid-semester” assignments are now submitted and hopefully sufficient for passing grades. I have a break until 26th of April when the final assignment for this course is released, then two weeks to research and complete it.

In the meantime, I am going to try and:

• Write introduction emails to some Japanese brewers in Kochi and other neighbouring prefectures in Shikoku
• Reach out to Scottish brewers to arrange post-lockdown brewery visits
• Book and study for my driving theory test
• Contact driving instructors to try and arrange an intensive, automatic driving course
• Try and improve my Japanese by reading and posting to note.com (despite my apprehensions about the platform)
• Brew more beer! Next will be the first of a single malt and single hop (SMaSH) IPA series
