One month has passed

Hello , everyone!

One month has passed since our blog started.
It was a rather hard work for me to write a comment every day.

Last year, I tried my own English blog,
but gave it up 30 days later.
But on this blog, there were many warm responses.
Thanks to you, I will keep on writing.
I have to write correct English.
Thank you very much, friends!
See you, good night.

Dear Cherry and friends!
One month has passed, hasn’t it? I’m sorry that I am a late participant. You really gave us a good motivation of writing English. Reading others’ comments and writing my own thinking are nice way in order to think in English. I really appreciate your great efforts.
Thank you.
By the way, I am such a computer-illiteracy that I have never try to use a tag noted under the frame. To tell the truth, I can’t understand HTLM itself. I deeply respect Alice’s savvy about computer, at the same time I feel generation-gap. I am a really one of analog generation.
Well, the news of a big earthquake around Niigata again has reported just after the big typhoon passed at last which had gave a huge damage through out the country. The pouring heavy rain made ground soft, resulting in much bigger damages. Are you preparing something against a hazardous natural disaster?

Dear Cherry and friends

One month has already passed? I can't believe it. Could somebody make the time go slower?

Cosmos, don't worry about HTML. It's a kind of programming language. It stands for Hypertext Markup Language. It is used to make home pages. You don't have to know about it unless you want to start your own website.

Today, I have finished writing a report. I'm exhausted. I have to submit 3 reports for this semester. 2 more reports to go. Wish me luck.

Dear Cherry and friends
It seems that the number of occurrences of earthquake more and more frequent these days to me. I haven’t experienced such terrible natural disasters yet fortunately, even now, my husband and mother-in-law talk about the big typhoon named ISEWANN TAYPHOON had hit Tokai area and caused huge damage and heavy casualties. The fear experience can’t be wiped off easily. So, I can imagine what fright you had against shaking ground in Kamikochi, because you had experienced the wretchedness of earthquake through your relatives in Kobe. Nowadays it is said that weather forecasting is worth believing. However in the case of prediction of an earthquake, it is very difficult to predict it in advance. Today, earthquake, terrorism and hurricane are the top three fearful ones. All of them attack us without any warning. It is impossible to control GREAT NATURE, but terrorism, it is a man-made disaster.

Hi, everyone!!!

I missed yesterday’s Cherry’s Blog, because I didn’t come to my daughter’s flat. I stayed in bed all day yesterday at Randwick Lodge. Why? Maybe I was just wiped out from moving around and numerous chores which kept me so busy for the past few weeks.

Today I met my daughter and her husband and Mrs. and Mr. Kondo at about 12:30 in the Korean restaurant on Pitt Street where Hitomi san and I had lunch a half year ago. After the meal, Ulala, Yoji and I went to her GP (not a maternity doctor, strange, isn’t it?) at Wynyard, while Mrs. and Mr. Kondo went somewhere in the city center. (They are really vital and vigorous enough to be able to keep walking for three days without sleep in Australia!!!)

Her due date is 22nd, but there is no sign of delivery. Her GP said that she should have some HOT food so that she would have diarrhea and her baby would be born. What a doctor!!! She cracked jokes all the time.

Well, I have to go now. Yoji and her mother are cooking some fish in the kitchen, his father is in his room, probably reading a novel, Ulala is doing some exercises which are supposed to prompt labor, and I am writing to you all at the kitchen table. I’m going home at Randwick soon, since I’m gonna skip dinner tonight. I keep my PC in her flat, and thus I will not write in unless I come here tomorrow.

Congratulations on the start of the second month. I am very proud of you, Cherry. You made it!!! Let’s keep writing in the second month also.

I always enjoy reading your messages. I am well and happy, doing my best in Sydney. I hope you are enjoying yourselves in Japan.

With love, from Sydney.

Hi, everyone!

The other day I met with a very familiar flower blooming in my garden. Its color is a cinnabar red. This was a flower I did not pay any attention to When I was a little girl. It was so common that you could see anywhere on a footpath or at the corner of any garden. Actually it is an inconspicuous flower.

But it attracted my attention this time. It has an outstanding figure among green. I cut it and put it into the vase. It was so beautiful. I tried to remember its name but the name didn't come out. However hard I tried, I couldn't remember the name of the flower. A few days later, I happened to see the same flower in a florist. It was “hiogi”, a leopard flower. Yes, it was 檜扇. What a gorgeous name it has! I just felt like meeting an old friend of mine again.

Do you like this flower?

Good-night.
