Hi, everyone!
Yesterday’s Plum’s lecture was wonderful for us, in spite of her not good condition. Plum encouraged us to develop our English writing skills more through this blog. For example, when I want to learn one word, I try to write English sentence with it, and I can get responses to me about it. Moreover, she gave us an advice to take notes of vocabularies, and showed her own memo for it. I was surprised with it, and felt shameful, because I understood that even Plum with linguistic ability makes special efforts every day. I must be hungry more.
Sunflower, I’m sorry for your stomach hard pain, and I hope you’ll be good soon.
So, it’s time to supper.
Good bye, see you!

Hi, everyone.
I'm sorry for your suffering from pains. I hope you will be in a good shape as soon as possible?
Anyway,
Which is sensible, one foot in the grave or one foot in the coffin.
I think of it based on a frame of reference. Our interment style is cremation. So I choose one foot in the coffin. It is because when my remains go to the grave, my body turns into ashes. For Western people, cremation reminds them of an evil image. It is natural their style is burial. One foot in the grave is sensible. Am I right?
Hi, everyone!!!
It has been another pleasant autumn day today, hasn’t it?
I have received a couple of parcels today; one is an assortment box of different Chinese noodle packets from a business acquaintance of my husband’s and the other is a big envelope from my daughter in Sydney. My daughter sent me the British TV drama series One Foot in the Grave 2, 3, and 4, which I asked her to buy at an ABC shop and send to me, although I realized after I asked that I could purchase them at Amazon UK. The series are so hilarious and well-made as a sitcom. I really love the main character Victor, who sometimes reminds me of my father, who died more than 15 years ago.
What I told Cherry, Peach and Azalea about English study at my house yesterday was not the secret of success or special information but just fundamentals anyone could think of. The important idea is to keep learning day by day, as everyone knows; practice makes perfect.
Thank you for your concern about my sickness. The reason I got burnt is that I applied a warmer in order to relieve my left shoulder pain, for three consecutive days!!!, 24 hours, day and night, oh, so stupid of me, but at that time I was in agony suffering from a poignant and unbearable pain.
Actually that pain came to me so suddenly last Tuesday, but now I can recall that I felt so weak and weary for one or two weeks before that happening. The pain was followed by numbness, sort of, pins and needles.
The pain returned to me, sort of, at intervals of one hour or two, or maybe a half hour or so, but sometimes quite irregularly. It was very hard to specify how this pain came back to me.
Anyway the left side of my upper body is still in pain and numbness, which makes me hard to breath. I will go to my pain doctor, and so I will get some information about this health problem of mine. I will let you know about it after I get it.
The pain and numbness terrify and scare me, but I still can walk and eat, and so I am OK. I will talk to you again tomorrow, my precious friends. Sleep well and have a lot of sweet dreams.
Hello, Cherry and my friends.
Azalea, special thanks to offering us an interesting topic of cremation.
According to Britannica Concise Encyclopedia, cremation was practiced by the Greeks who considered it suitable for heroes. In some Asian countries only certain people such as high lamas in Tibet may be cremated.
Christianity opposed cremation only in exceptional cases and unusual circumstances, such as that brought on by the Black Death.
The practice reemerged in the late 19th century and was eventually accepted by both Protestants and Roman Catholics. Issues such as finance (it is much less expensive than traditional burial), shortage of ground for burial plots in some areas, the increased efficiency of cremation via the aid of modern technology, have all played into the change of thinking.
It was fun to know the history of cremation thanks to Asalea.
I'm recuperating from my stomachache. I skipped two meals but could eat hot tofu in Chanko-nabe I cooked with my daughter. It was very delicious. I'll go to bed ealier than usual.
Good-night, my friends.
Hello, my dearest friends
Plum, all my sympathies are with you. I also have an experience of suffering from poignant pain of the trigeminal nerve disease. It was a pang for me not to bear up. First I couldn’t understand what it was and why it attacked me. It was really unexpected one for me. Well, I managed to get well thanks to some treatments of clinic doctors and an acupuncturator. They gave an advice to me, “not to make your shoulder and neck stiffed, and have your body’s circulation move smoothly”. Since then I began to care not to keep same posture for a long time while I was reading a book, watching TV or looking at PC. Having a break, having light physical movements and massages are effective against stiffed shoulder and neck. Anyway I am enjoying lazy days in accordance with their comfortable advices. As a result, I have too much relaxing and sleeping time. Now I am afraid of another disease, that is, dementia. Though my shoulder and neck is becoming soft, my brain is taking a rest for a long time and is becoming stiffed. I know that there is no royal way to master English as Plum’s advice. “Practice makes perfect”. I know it, too. And I know that carrying out it is difficult, too.
Sunflower, please take care of yourself. Have a good night in warm bed.
Good night, everybody.
