Hi, everyone!
I’m happy to hear that you enjoyed climbing mountain and apple field, Azalea.
As Magnolia said, it makes me feel envy.
I suppose your husband is a nature lover, isn’t he? ( Of course, you too.)
Magnolia, how did you decide your manifesto?
I’m sorry if you had already showed it before to us.
By the way, a pennant race at professional baseball is getting excited these days.
Because I’m a fan of Tigers, as I said before, I can’t help leaving TV while the program is going. The enthusiasm of the match came through on the TV screen, especially at Koshien. But I’ve never been there for Tigers and I eager to go there to cheer them up next season. If Tigers win the victory, everything will be fine at my home!
So, see you, tomorrow, good bye!

Hi, everyone.
Cherry, this year Hanshin has some good pitchers. I support you and your favorite team. Since I am anti giants. I used to be earnestly raised with Giants, Taiho(Sumo wrestler) and egg dish(Tell me how to express tamagoyaki in English). However, I have been anti giants since Egawa scandal.
Magnolia, Thank you but you don't know an entity.
His efforts only prevent me from being a pig on the tatami mat called 'Zashikibuta' or suffering from a metabolic syndrome.
Recently, shrike, a small one of raptors shreaks, does'nt it. Have you ever seen its offering? This year, I saw it on the stem of an eggplant. It is mantis. Mantis is pierced with the stem. It is on the very low place. This year we can't predict much snow in winter. I think it is earlier than it was. Besides, a shrike usually shreaks on the electric wire near my house declaring this area is mine, this year on the tree, not so high, of my yard. Winter might come earlier than usual. That reminds me, this year I often observed many grasshoppers and mantises in my yard.
Hi, Cherry!!!
Hi, everyone!!!
So, you are a great fan of The Hanshin Tigers, Cherry, and so is my sister living in Osaka-sayama now. I am not so enthusiastic in baseball, but I have been to Koshien Ballpark several times to see some games played by senior high school boys. I have also been to other ballparks for professional baseball games with my friends or my family. However, I don’t remember quite well what I saw at each ballpark, but I just remember a lot of crowds of people moving around the stadium. There were so many fanatic fans around us, and I was almost scared and regretted that I went there. Interesting, isn’t it? Actually it is likely that I hate to see crowds of people rushing here and there. I think I paid more attention to the people I saw than the games I saw.
My parents loved baseball and watching a game on TV together and talking about the game while watching was how they spent their spare-time together. They were also raising vegetables and flowering plants and others together and were always talking about them. My father came home at around 5 and did some work at our vegetable garden before supper unless he had a faculty meeting after his teaching work, when I was growing up in Kumamoto. We lived very close to the university. In a way, I was a university brad, and often went to his laboratory and played with some of his experiment utensils or tools when I was a primary school kid. Good old day…
Thanks to your warm welcome home, I am feeling much, much better now, and had a very good appetite and had a lot of sushi for dinner. I feel that I am much more healthy and vital than I was in Sydney, which is splendid and fantastic. Oh, that’s COOL. (My daughter often said, “That’s cool.”)
I hope you are having a lovely time on the weekend. It’s good to have a rest, isn’t it? Have a fabulous start on Monday. Goodnight, my precious friends.
Dear Cherry and friends,
Cherry, thank you for telling me the websites that I had forgotten to include in the list. I updated the page.
Several days ago, when I was in Takayama, a friend of mine, Phyllis sent me an e-mail. She is American. Last time she e-mailed me, she was going to travel in Italy. She sent me a card from Italy. Now she is planning to go to Argentina this winter. She asked me and some Japanese friends to join her. Today, I replied that I would not be able to make it because this winter will be the busiest season for me. I told her that I have to finish writing the thesis during the winter.
She replied quickly today saying she is going to stay there until the end of March and she can wait for me. Moreover, she sent me tour information. Guess how old she is. She is 3 zodiac cycles older than me.
The picture of the Iguazu Falls is so seductive that I was tempted to check some flights. Actually, I did. It's fun to plan a journey.
Talk to you later.
Hello, everyone.
Cherry, I made my menifesto because I abandoned the attempt to spend time with my husband together.
His interest is only to play golf and make pottery, so he can't think of spending money for other things like a trip. The older he becomes,the more self-centered he is. So there is no choice for me only to enjoy myself using my money and go on a trip with my friends or my child.
He is in charge of the family budget and allots me weekly small house budget, so he can spend money as he likes, which is peculiar for me and I opposed it many times, but he won't hear me.
So I had to give it up.
He went golfing twice a week even in such scorching August. I wonder if it was a suicidal action.
As he was hit by a brain stroke two years ago, he wants to enjoy himself as much as he likes until he dies because he could survive miraculously without an aftereffect. So also I decided that I shouldn't complain it and I tried to seek jobs as long as I can, then I can earn money and travel sometimes.
Fortunately I have many nice friends including all of you, so I'm very happy. Let's go on a trip together!
Hi, everyone.
Today is the National Holiday. Tokyo stock exchange market is off,too. It is a boring day for me.
Evening newspaper does not come. Foreigh currency exchange market is off. I am bored.
Today is a sticky day, isn't it?
I have to sow the seeds of radish within a few days.
Hello, my lovely friends.
It is a national holiday today, the Respect for the Aged Day.
Did you have a good time today?
I worked hard today. My husband had to go to his office and did not stay at home all day, which means that I had a lot of time to work. His company is engaged in mold designing and manufacturing for Japanese and foreign car manufacturers, and the company calendar is synchronized with those of Japanese car making companies. Apparently all the labor in the car manufacturing industry in this country is working today. But I’m not sure…
I found a very interesting article concerning “how to improve your written English.” It was written by a native teacher at ICU, Tokyo, Japan, for his ESL students.
He says that [t]his article covers five practical tips for students to self-review, revise and improve the pre-submission standard of work written in English. It sounds so delicious for serious English learners like us, doesn’t it? So I kept reading.
Some of what he is trying to explain is, definitely, useful to us. As for some other, I really don’t know…, though.
He is extremely frustrated with small mistakes such as, a, an, the (they are very difficult to Japanese students. I just don’t know whether he understands it or not) made by his students, and thus he wrote this article.
Probably I will put it on the NWSG notice board within a few days. I assure you again that some of his argument is worth listening.
Since I worked so hard today, I am a bit tired. I will go to bed a little earlier tonight. Maybe, I will get up early tomorrow morning, maybe 5 or 6, and then I will resume my work after my early breakfast of tea and biscuits. Bye, bye, my precious friends. I will talk to you again tomorrow.
