It's been a tough day. Not only do i get into work and find i've got loads of high-level students which is cool, but requires much more on-the-ball-ness than your average day, but we had our first Nihongo lesson after three weeks, and i had to learn about 50 adjectives and their negatives. I suck as a student; I really hope that I'm a better teacher...

But, I've found a novel new twist on my Agatha Addiction - "Great Detectives Poirot and Marple". As you can see from the pic, it's an anime take on some classic Christie stories... except not quite. Actually, they take a fair few liberties with the plot, as you can see from the following itnernet synopsis:

"Young Mabel West is the daughter of mystery writer Raymond West, who wants her to lead a normal life. Rebelling against this, Mabel wants to be a great detective, and sets out for London to become assistant to none other than Hercule Poirot, the great Belgian detective who resides there. She finally wins the reluctant approval of her father, and embarks on an exciting life of mystery and suspense - his only demand being that she occasionally spend some time with her great-aunt, Jane Marple, in the small village of St. Mary Mead."

I'msorrywhatthehell? Actually, it's brilliant, and you can see more oddness here.

Night night.
