Card research

I think I am starting to annoy the young mistress standing around drawing her, but she manages to put up with it. She actually took out the earphones shortly after and it turned out she was listening to a lively little ditty, which then emerged from the computer speakers for our edification.
The animal for the chinese calendar is often used for new year cards here in Japan, and we are in the year of the boar. Very appropriate now that their population is reaching record levels. My daughter was looking for some references on the web for her slightly belated new year cards with pictures of boar families. We were both on a continuation of yesterday's activities for most of today, but we split up, she was upstairs in her own space while I continued to infest the sofa.
