Hello, everybody~

I'm happy to read your comments.
Azalea, you walked hard everyday.
It's nice for our health, but may be difficult for me.
Alice, I also stopped my blog in English last year.
But this time, we will try to continue our blog!

PIum, you had a terrible experience.
You usually look so healthy that I couldn't know your hand's pain, sorry.
Hard pain will make us tired, so please take care of you!

I started my job six monthes ago.
It was hot day today, so the subway car made me tired.
I hate Nagoya's hot summer...

Dear Cherry and friends,

Chrry, how is your job?
Do you enjoy it?

I feel sorry about Plum's pain.
Plum, I didn't notice your pain. You always look healthy and invincible.
I know you have a strong will to hide all the pain you have.
Please spoil yourself for your hand and take care.

Azalea, did you walk today? Do you usually walk alone? I sometimes walk with Mother. We walk to the park called Miyuki Koen. It takes about an hour to go there and come home. So I imagine the Miyoshi pond must be huge. Can you see the other side of the pond?

Hi, Cherry. Have you read today's news paper about the figure of women in the Lower House in Japan, 9.4%. I murmured against it 'I have already known it. Thanks to you.'

Plum, I am in the great surprise. I am very sorry. Rest is a good medicine, isn't is? Fatigue is axis of evil. Please sleep well. I recommend you to go to a hot spring with us.

Alice, you have a nice mother. I don't walk every day. However, I go for a walk as often as I can in a week.
Your imagination is right, you can't see the other side of the pond. Trees round the pond make shade in many parts, in summer it is cool.

Yesterday, my memory of password is not correct, I can't acces to this blog.

Hi, everyone!!!
Thank you for your warm sympathy and compassion for me, Cherry, Alice, and Azalea. There is no possibility of recovery on medication, and my arthritis is in the 3rd stage on a scale of 1 to 4, in which 4 is the worst. My doctor said that wearing a holder alleviated the pain, at least, of 50 percent of the patients. But I doubt… Then, he said that it was the only effective medical treatment to mitigate the pain. OK. If you insist, then I will put them on. But I had to go to work today, and I did not want to draw my students’ attention to my holders (they are so ugly), and thus, I left home without them. My doctor told me to come back to his clinic so that he would tell me how to put them on. But I know how to…, I just don’t want to wear them. He does not understand!!! Uh-huh... OK. I will stop complaining about my arthritis here. Probably you don’t want to hear any more, yes, I do understand.
Did you have a good day today? I hope you did.

Hi, everyone.

You don't need to stop complaining about your suffering. Please tell us whenever you feel a pain and feel down.

Yesterday I weeded a patch where vegetables grow. Then I assembled a new mower. It was not so difficult but It took a time because of my preconceived idea.
I couldn't find a wrench to fix a screw. I looked for it and examined the box sent. I thought it was a defect. I called the maker. A person in charge kindly told it was installed in the body. In my experience, I had no memory of an instrument installed in a body.
I made it and I used it. It is new to me. I was clumsy with it. At lunch my chopsticks were quivering.

In the evening, my husband said to me ' I am sympathised the maker staff. They are busy to correspond to such a goof every day.'

Hi, everyone!!!

Azalea, are you growing some vegetables? Do you rent the patch from somebody? Is it far from your house? How often do you go there?

Last night, I looked up without intending to do so, and saw the moon. It was a beautiful moon. Normally I never look up at the sky to see the moon. So it was a very strange feeling… to see such a beautiful moon. I thought I had never seen such a moon before momentarily. But it was not true. When I was in Sydney, maybe, eight years ago, I used to go out to the veranda to see the moon. I was writing my thesis, and struggling to finish it, though I knew it was impossible to do so. Every day was a hell, really. At that time, I was sharing the flat with Ian, an Australian man in his early thirties. He was a very kind and polite person, a young gentleman in a way. Nonetheless it was an extremely frustrating experience to share a flat with somebody I did not know well.

The flat was owned by an elderly woman from Osaka and she had been sharing it with him for a financial reason for a few years. When I met her (she was a friend of my former supervisor’s at Sydney Uni. and was going back to Osaka for a year to look after her aunt who was hospitalized), she promised to rent me her flat, because, she said, Ian was going to move to Malaysia and she needed someone who could housesit. I promised her to pay $150 a week, and moved in. But in a few days Ian came back to the flat from his job-hunting, combined with sightseeing, trip to Malaysia. He said that he could not get a job he liked, and would try to find a job in Sydney. He had his belongings at the flat. I just thought that he was going to move out after he got a job. Soon after that he got a job at a Japanese firm in Chatswood, which was one station away, which meant that it was quite convenient for him to keep staying at the flat. He paid $100 a week, and it was almost impossible to find a place which was as clean and nice as that flat, for $100 a week. (The Japanese old lady gave a very special price to him!!!) And then, he and I began to share the flat.

I sometimes went out to the veranda and looked up at the sky to see the moon and to cry. It was very hard to find a nice place to live in in Sydney, which is a mega city like New York and Tokyo. I had to stand living in the flat with him, which was beyond my imagination. It is like a prison life to share a place with a stranger, not totally but still a stranger anyway, and write a thesis. I saw a beautiful moon a number of times.

Tonight I also saw the moon, which was again so beautiful. Then, I just recalled the days I spent with a lot of tears, just like last night.

Good aftrnoon, everyone.

Plum, you are a person of pateince.In a sense, your situation was worse than Nora. You have a strong will once you set a goal, don't you.

By the way, I used a word 'patch' meaning a forehead of a cat in Japanese. On the registration, my family's land is divided into two types. One is building estate and the other is field. When the house was built, imposed tax was low if the land was field. Now this field is identified as building estate. Thanks to the tax office.In my house, since then, the part has been called ''Hatake'' In my yard, I raise vegetables. Now potato is in harvest. I am also growing cucumber, eggplant, tomato, okra, pimento and watermelon. I never use agricultural chemical. so every creatures have right to eat them.
Especially, watermelon is competitive, there are many rivals.
Among them, A crow is formidable.
I suppose it does not want to eat watermelon, but prods it with its beak. Last year, We bought 5 sprouts of watermelon. They yielded 4 watermelons but we could eat only 1. It was very expensive. You suppose I had better buy watermelon. However, I can not forget the flavor when I cut the watermelon growing in my yard. In meals' preparation, I can procure vegetables within one minute, which is god blessing. Harvest is also accidental and god blessing. Now I will go for a walk in the rain because Hydrangea is beautiful in the rain.
