Hi, everyone!
About comics, we have many things to talk together, don't we?
In the old days, adults used to criticize comics.
But these days, a minister praise "Gorugo 13".
In my kid's textbook, there was "the method of comics,"
which study with student's favorite comics.
It is unbelievable!
Sunflower, your writings was so charming that I wanted to eat Rucola.
So, It is time to end.
Bye, everyone!

Hello, everyone. I, Magnolia, finally came back thanks to Alice's advice.
As for comics, my second son as well as I like Tezuka very much. I read 'HiNOTORI' series in my youth and my son was into 'Black Jack' in his high school days and once he wanted to be a doctor. Then he became a fan of Miyazaki Hayao and visited Studio JIBURI in his university days in Tokyo.
As for Italian cooking, I sometimes cook some because it's easy to cook. I just use olive oil and garlic, then it becomes Italian. So when I was in Australia, I bought some pasta like spaghetti, gnocci and macaroni, then I added some fried vegetbles of tomato, eggplant, onion and zucchinis to make my dinner.
Now I grow some herbs like rosemary, mint and ruccola, which became too big and hard to eat, so I have to buy a nursery next spring, but I use rosemary when I bake chicken.

Hello, everyone.
'Hinotori' is interesting to me, too.
Hinotori is Phenix in English.
When I learned Phenix, my book explained it is the Chinese legendary bird. When my friend John came to Japan from Australia, I took him to the Heian shrine in Kyoto. A Taiwanese asked us to join in us. When I explained Phenix as I learned, the Taiwanese said to us,'No, Phenix is the Indian legendary bird.' Now, I examine it by Koujien, it reads the Egiptian legendary bird.
Hi, everybody!
I am writing this comment on word-screen in accordance with Plum’s advice. I really want my writings not to go out of the sight.
Well, your topic has moved from movies to comics. But I’d like to talk a little bit about movies. I wrote about gorgeous mega-Hollywood movies in my young age before and now I’m going to write about very minor ones. There is a small theater near my house, about 5minutes by bicycle. Popular hit-films with commercially success has never run there. The theater, which has own policy, always shows us minor unpopular films. They are inconspicuous but good in quality. I saw “Tears of Rwanda” there. It depicted the fierce conflict between the tribes in Rwanda, which brought up the most terrible massacre in the region. Maybe you can recall this bloodcurdling incident in Africa more than a decade ago. But this film’s aim is depicting normal people’s braveness and die –hard spirit to help neighbors as well as stupid human’s barbarity. I love this theater because I can go there even after supper.
Hi, everyone!!!
I flew back from Ohita last night and read Cherry’s blog and the comments. You’ve been having an interesting discussion about comic books. I am very glad about it.
I am departing for Sydney tomorrow night, and so I will not able to write in tomorrow night, but probably I will talk to you from Sydney the day after tomorrow. This time tomorrow I will be on my flight.
I was tremendously busy today. I had to visit three different clinics to get my medicine prescribed for two months until the middle of September. I did the washing and cleaning the house, which tired me out, oh, yes---completely. But anyway I am almost ready for departure, although I have to do some more things including writing a number of postcards.
Please allow me to tell you what I saw in Ohita. Some of you may not like this, because it is very personal. Nonetheless I just cannot resist not telling you this!!! (Sorry about this double negation.)
I saw the cutest little thing in the world. (You may not believe this, but it is true!!!) Oh, she was a beautiful tiny creature. I don’t know how to describe this, but I was absolutely amazed at her petty fingers and toes, which she moved around every time I saw her. I was extraordinarily excited when I saw her smiling (probably to me, I imagine------“Hello, Granny!!!”), though apparently she was asleep. (She was just ten days old when I first saw her. Most of the time she was asleep.) You may think that I am just an idiot, but I felt that she was a real ‘sleeping beauty’.
Anyway she is my first grandchild, and I have the second one arriving in ten days or so. The next one is a boy coming from my own daughter. Baby boom, isn’t it.
I will talk to you on Thursday night. Until then, bye, everyone!!!
P. S.
Thank you for letting us know about your interview test. You don’t know the result yet, do you? Are you sure you couldn’t make it? You worked so hard to improve your speaking skill and pass the test, and thus I really hope you are successful this time. If not, please don’t be discouraged. Just keep practicing, and soon you will give me good news.
Hello, friends.
Today I'd like to talk about my family.
My son, aged 30 is going to marry the coming November. His fiancée is one month younger than he is. Her name is Yūko. I call her Yūko-chan with close feeling toward her. I wonder why her fiancé calls her just ‘Yuko.
Great thing for her is that she fits in with our family members without any eforts.
She has an attribute of a sociable person.
They had been working very hard for house-hunting. And finally they found a new house which is just around the corner from mine.
It's good for them to fit out their new life.
Good-night, friends.
Dear Cherry, Plum, and friends
Congratulations, Plum!
Wonderful news!
I would love to see the pictures of “sleeping beauty” and the baby boy. I'm sure they are beautiful like you.
Cosmos, I know the cozy theater near your house. I have wanted to go there, but never tried. I see the theater on my way to school in the evening.
I didn't see the Tears of Rwanda. However, I saw Hotel Rwanda on DVD. When the atrocity happened in Rwanda, I was twenty something. I was too young to think about cruel world that existed in reality. Such cruel incidents still happen in reality.
When we had to criticize media in a sociology class at Capilano College, someone questioned the movie Hotel Rwanda. Her question was about the privileged people who survived through the atrocity. Those who survived are lucky people. Most of them are rich. And the very survivor flew away abroad, wrote about it, and made money.
This world is like a fractal image. Each tiny part of the whole picture looks similar to the image of the whole. In any country whether it's small or not, there are the rich and the poor. Likewise, when we look at the globe, we see rich countries and poor countries.
By the way, thank you for encouraging me, Plum.
I will keep practicing.
And...
Bon voyage.
Thanks to Cherry's blog, you will sound close to us.

Sunflower,
We synchoronized, didn't we?
Look at the time stamps.
We posted at the almost same time yesterday, too.
Good night, Sunflower and friends.
Hi, everybody!
Congratulations, Plum! It is amazing you are going to become a grandmother having two grandchildren. I wonder if others might think you are the mother when they see you taking care of your grandbabies. I can imagine how cute they are and how excited you are! I really envy you.
Sunflower, congratulations on your son’s engagement! When is the wedding day? I think you are very busy in preparing for the coming ceremony and the couple’s new life. I envy you, too. Well, I am very happy to hear such auspicious news.
By the way, to tell the truth, a dream of my daughters was to become a cartoonist. They were crazy over reading comics and used up their monthly allowance for buying comic books and magazines. Their enthusiasm for comics developed into not only reading but drawing. They were absorbed in creating their own booklets, went to nation-wide big festivals for anime-clubs, where they exchange their works. They put their works from my eyes. But their zeal for animation gradually faded out by the time of university days. There are huge a large amount of books on their book shelves and those are their treasure even now. Those are remaining of their dream of younger days. I also enjoy many comics now because they are there at hand.
Next time, I’d like to introduce the daughter of my close friend, who is now professional cartoonist in Tokyo.
Congratulations, Plum and Sunflower! Hello, everyone.
Plum, you love the grandchild dearly and she is the apple of your eye. But soon your grandchildren will be the apples of your eyes. They must be very cute. This is also my experience. My 2-year-old grandson became talkative these days, so he is becoming cuter and funnier.
This December one more grandchild will be born. I'm looking forward to it.
Sunflower, it's good for you that your son lives near your house. You can see each other often. I envy you because my sons live rather far , 40 minutes by car for both , so they come only once or twice a month. I'd like to see my grandson more often.
Hello, my dearest friends.
It’s so exciting to exchange our recent successive happenings with a touch of humor, sympathy, admiration and sometimes envy. Plum, you are really the happiest and busiest grandma in the world. What a nice simile you use to depict your precious tinny little one! I love that expression of “a sleeping beauty”. Actually she must be so!! How moving and inspiring to have one grandson after another granddaughter! Congratulations! I’m expecting the next good news from you in Australia.
Magnolia, you're also going to be the happiest granny with three(?) grandchildren!
Good-night, friends.
