Good afternoon, everyone!
Alice, I was also impressed with your thoughts
on young girls making up their faces in the train.
I don't care about such behavior, too.
There are many impolite acts now on public space,
such as spitting out phlegm, picking up one's teeth,
sitting down with one's legs apart, and so on.
I think people who blame girls' acts should also blame those acts.
Young people may just imitate their seniors,
or protect themselves against the outside world unconsciously.
Today is a special day for me.
At 7.30 five years ago, I determined to learn English in order to stand alone.
Since then I make a toast to myself at today every year.
I think I don't have to walk in a hurry, and only have to walk step by step.
Thanks to you, friends, I can enjoy my situation now.
So, good bye, and thank you.

Hi, everybody!
The election was over and the result has shown us that even the Democratic Party, which has enjoyed monopoly in Japanese politics for so long years, more than 60 years, has been forced into a corner. I think that unchanged power tend to lead to a cozy relationship between politics and business and corruption in politics. So, I welcome this result.
By the way, Cherry and Alice mentioned about girls’ bad behaviors. Human liked to tell one from the others since we had made a society. In every field and aspect, distinction is a expression of civilization and culture. Public and private, formal and informal, we were taught to act differently. Especially where we are, inside or outside, is very important. We need to behave appropriately. Out of place is out of question. However, any kind of border is fading now. I wonder borderless society is related to the girls’ bad manners.
Hi, everyone.
My daughter’s family went back to Ann Arbor on Sunday after staying for four days with us. Her one-year-old son, Manato was really the center of attention of all our family members. Interestingly enough, he knows that he was in the spotlight, which makes him very happy. At the same time his existence made us excited and cheerful. We were eager how to entertain him and stand high in his favor.
I was impressed that my daughter had grown into a devoted mother. My younger daughter said to me, “O-neichan seems to enjoy raising Manato.”
By the way、I’d like to read Marxist feminism in English by Plum. I’d be very happy if you send it to me. I’ve studied ‘feminism theories’ once at tutorial classes, but it would be worth reading again. I need to confirm the clear differences between radical, Marxist, and liberal feminism, which are basics.
From the next month I’d like to research another admiring Meiji woman, “Kieko Yamamuro". It would be very exciting to know her personal life and compare hers with the ones of "Hatsu Yuasa".
Through dissoving their biographis I hope I'd like to get full access to feminism.

Good-night
Hi, everyone!!!
How is everything?
A storm comes suddenly, doesn’t it?
My daughter gave birth to her son by Caesarean, which was not only unexpected way of delivery for her but also very surprising, though not so nasty, occurrence to us.
On Saturday early evening, I was teaching her how to crochet in my room while Yoji was studying in the lounge, just before supper, for which we were planning to cook some pieces of swordfish which were apparently tasty and listed number one on our favorite fish pick list.
My daughter said after returning from the bathroom that she got some blood but she did not know whether it was just a normal ‘show’ before the beginning of labor or not. I did not know either, and thus she called the hospital and the nurse said that she could visit it just in case, and they went out saying that they would be back in probably a couple of hours. Following that, I got two calls from Yoji in the hospital, but he just said that they were waiting for the doctor and that I could go to bed since it might take some time to go through all the necessary medical checkup. We were, sort of, sick of waiting and presupposed her bleeding would turn out to be just nothing. Therefore I went to sleep without thinking any more about it.
I got up at around eight on the day after and did not find them at home, and hence I called Yoji, who said that their son was delivered by Caesarean at 5: 31 a.m. She had got injection to induce labor on that night, and in fact she got labor pains but her cervix did not open wide enough to get her baby to go through, and the doctors asked them to agree their suggestion of Caesarean section. Her bleeding got so serious that the baby was not happy in her tummy, they were told. Two minutes after the operation, her son came out to this world, and he was handed over to his father after being cleaned with a wet towel. On that day, she was not the only patient, and so the doctors, midwives and nurses were quite busy, and Yoji had to wait, holding his new-born baby in a blanket for three hours in the waiting room, and then, he was led to her room, which was Number 3 of Oxford Ward, and soon she was brought in from the recovering room. At around that time I called him.
Now their bay is fine and my daughter is getting better surprisingly fast, and she would leave the hospital tomorrow on Wednesday if her doctor permits, although at the moment her doctor has advised her to stay until Thursday. (It is hard to distinguish the medical staff, since the doctors or nurses do not wear white coats any more. They all wear their own clothes.)
She got a shower the day after, and today on Tuesday she could walk along the corridor, though she would not be allowed to do any housework for a month or so at home.
This is what happened on Sunday and Monday and why I missed Cherry’s Blog on these days. (I was in the hospital at most of the time, returning home only to get some sleep.)
I hope you are all fine.
I think I will go to bed. It’s Tuesday night, and I am exhausted.
Goodnight, my dear friends.
Hi, everyone.
First of all, did your daughter's water break? It's serious. I can imagine how much you are tired from worrying about your daughter.
It is because you did not expect the caesarean section.
I am glad to hear that her recovering is right along. Congratulations on your second grandson. You will be busy. However, you will enjoy it very much. You will experience priceless things. But practically, you take care of two people at the same time. I feel for your backbreaking care.
Owing to my poor English, I can't express what I want to say but please take care of yourself.
Hello, Cherry and everyone!
I seldom could send my comment due to my capricious PC. So I wonder if this mail could reach you.
Congratulations Plum on your daughter's safe delivery! You must be very relieved and proud of Ulala san.
You are a lucky grandma to have both a baby girl and a baby boy this year, you are becoming very busy though. Take care of yourself as well as your family.

Dear Cherry and friends,
Finally, the waited news has come!
Congratulations, Plum!
I’m glad to hear both your daughter and the baby boy fine.
You must be tired. Please don’t use your hand too much.
Take care.
