Day 12 - Okinawa: Typhoon and Terrible TV


Moonbeach Hotel with Typhoon
Originally uploaded by Ginger DJ.
After the hospital trip our taxi ride back to the hotel gave a preview of the weather that was to continue all day. Thick grey clouds, a bit of rain, a lot of wind and a drop of temperature. Kerry stays in bed recovering and we wonder whether the typhoon will ground us longer than we expected. At lunch I watch some Japanese nutters swim in the sea whilst it rains. For Kerry, it’s a day of sleep and dire TV. One highlight was a Japanese daytime programme about glass blowing. It was a competition between the best 4 in the country with rounds of creativity. The winner was from the same place we visited in Gora Park the other day in Hakone we had seen being filmed!

Not much else to report as Kerry still feeling awful with chest infection. Teatime involved 3 trips out at Kerry’s hunger whims. Tried McDonalds at first but it took a sandwich to work for her. More useless TV and laughable AFN adverts for stupid Americans like “Remember to leave a note for your loved ones to show you care” – Tosh!

The Mighty Boosh new live show review

Image
Thanks to my Modwolves fan club connections I managed to win exclusive tickets to see the brand new live show from the Mighty Boosh on Saturday. After our (unsuccessful) Thames boat ride we made our way over to 3 Mills TV studios in Bromley on Bow. If you don't want to know what's in the new live show then you'd best not read this as it will spoil the surprise. However if you want to know a summary of how it went then I'll say now, the performance was slightly worrying with only a week to go. There's a lot more mini-sketches and no real story compared to the previous tour. There's some great gags, some surprises but if it wasn't for their natural talent and personality the show would be slightly disappointing. Hopefully they'll put in some practice, improve the sketches that didn't quite work and maybe even come up with some new ideas. So, if you really don't want to know what happens in the show stop reading now, you have been warned. Mighty Boo...
