Well, anyway, I wanted to build a good audio system at home, so I went round lots of recycle shops to look for speakers. Everyone said something different, so I got a little confused. In the end, I got a surround sound amplifier and two nice but small speakers for the front.

I asked if I could buy one, but the man said sorry, they had none left. Then he said I could have the demonstration ones, and they would be 2,000 yen discounted each! I was so happy!

Well, Halloween has just finished so already it’s coming up to Christmas. In fact, do you know when it really starts? Here’s how to calculate it.

Xmas Day is on the 25th. This year, it’s a Sunday. So one week before it is the 18th. This is called the Last Sunday Before Christmas. We have 4 special Sundays before Christmas in the season called Advent. So the first one–Advent Sunday–should be on November 27th this year. Before that, it’s not good luck to have Christmas things up!

What are you doing for Xmas this year? After Advent begins, I’ll write about some of the festivities we have in Britain!
