Hi, everyone!
Magnolia, I really got excited to hear that your splendid news about a movie of Hudeko Ishii. I can imagine your name on a movie screen! What a great news! It’s also our pleasure, isn’t it?
About Geki-shine, I can recommend it to you, Magnolia. I have watched them several times at a big hall, in which Kanzaburo Nakamura and Tamasaburo Bando used to play. They were very, very exciting movies. But my favorite one is a play by gekidan Shinkansen. The Geki-shine I watched yesterday is now on showing at the Mid land square three times a day, titled ‘ Oborono morini sumu oni.’ If you need more information, please see it on a web. I think you can enjoy them on it.
Sunflower, I’m happy to hear about Hanjo-tei at Tenma, because I had once lived near Tenma station before I got married. I like that lively street very much as a symbol of Osaka, and I’d like to go there with my kids someday.
Plum, I agree with Alice. I am really felt thankful for your sincere, vigorous support to us. It is a great gift for us to survive our future.
So, it’s time to washing dishes, good bye!

Hi, everyone!!!
It has been a very pleasant day today, hasn’t it?
I have some fragrant olive trees in my garden, and every year at around this time of year, they please me with their sweet fragrance. Oh, I love autumn. It is the most fabulous season of all, don’t you think?
Magnolia, thank you so much for letting us know the great news. It is something like a dream-come-true story; your writing is used in a movie. Personally I am extremely happy about it. Ishii Fudeko was a great woman, and I am very proud of her as a Japanese citizen. I admire and respect her. I cannot be a person like her, but I can try to be a person like her. She was paralyzed and bound to a wheelchair in her later years, but she was tremendously courageous and took all the responsibility of the school for unfortunate children. She had already gone through too much hardship. But at that time, it was an extremely hard time for her, because she was alone, totally alone without her husband and children. She was a fighter, which is the reason I venerate her. Congratulations, Magnolia, and I am also proud of you. You worked so hard to write your essay.
The Inspector Morse series started this autumn on Mystery Channel, which says that they air the complete series consisting of 37 episodes. Wow, it’s gorgeous. Maybe you don’t know much about this popular British TV drama series, but I do really love this series. All the stories are set in Oxford, and so in each episode a beautiful town of Oxford appears in a hideous and merciless murder case (usually multiple murders occur for some reason) which is always supposed to be solved by Morse and his subordinate. I have never been to the city, but I can enjoy imagining how magnificent the place is. Also the hero, Morse, loves classical music, and so there is always some classical music played in the background, which is terrific.
The other day, I saw a series of beautiful espresso makers at Mitsukoshi Department Store. I really wanted to get one, but my husband said that he did not like espresso, and so I did not buy. But I still want to get one. Only in this limited time, we can get a milk whisk (which normally costs 2,500 yen) as a gift, which is quite fascinating.
I am so excited about Magnolia’s news. Thank you again for this wonderful information.
I will talk to you again tomorrow. Enjoy this beautiful autumn weather before it ends, my precious friends. Goodnight…, everyone.
Hi, everyone.
Magnolia, fantastic!!Excellent!!
It's a victory without expectations.
Last Saturday, when I was climbing a mountain, my mother called me. She said 'My son and I will go to the Izu peninsula. So will you.' I replied ' My daughter will come today and she will stay until Monday and I am busy, I can't come with you' She said ' Your brother can take 2 days off. It is a rare case. You have to come with us.'
Recently, she suffers from angina pectoris and she took a tablet nitro twice. I came to go to Izu. It is because I didn't want to regret refusing her offer. However my mother and my brother always have decided many things involving me without asking me in advance. On Monday morning, my daughter and I went to Nagoya station. She took a train bound for Osaka and I Atami. Today, I got home from there. The trip was very delightful. We recalled Father.
I heard my brother's impression about him for the first time. He said 'Father's time ran faster than others. He could expect what the future would be like. So he died much younger than avarage of life expectancy.'
I have not known the fragrant olive trees. Curious!
Hello, Cherry and my dear friends.
I love autumn very much. Sweet-smelling “ fragrant olive trees” in my garden gave a nice aroma in these three days. Every time I passed by the tree, the sweet fragrance made me happy and comfortable.
However, the days when I often put “aromatics” that gave off an artificial aroma of “kin-mokusei” on the toilet, natural scent of“ fragrant olive trees” reminded me of the one of the toilet. Sorry to say tasteless thing.
Good-night.
Hello, friends.
Thanks for the information about gekishine, Cherry. Tomorrow is the discount day at Mid land movie theater, so I want to go see it if possible.
Today there was Jonathan's class and we discussed about the life long education for the elderly.
At first we talked about the status quo. Now we have many chances to learn something at various places like open classs of the university, university of air, community circles and even Kumon as well as Yamaha provide education for the elderly.
Then we focused on the purposes of learning. What for do the elderly study?
To activate brain, to have self-esteem, to know something new, to express and explain what they learned to others or as a chance for employment and human desire to learn.
Jonathan summed up that 'Life is learning. If we stop learning we'll die. Breathing and heart beeting shouws I want to learn.'
It's a good word, isn't it?
If we continue learning, we can stay young.
We need health, money and time in order to learn, which is also true.
We'll continue discussing next friday.
And the homework is to think about the situation if we are going to start a school for the elderly, what do we need to do such a project? How should they be taught?
Who should teach?
Hi, everyone!!!
It has been another beautiful autumn day today, hasn’t it?
It is so pleasant to be in the soft and gentle autumn sun. The only problem is that this lovely weather does not long in Japan, and soon the terribly cold northwesterly wind will start to blow. Oh, yuk…
Thank you for telling us about what you and other members did with Jonathan on October 10th, Magnolia. It’s always good to hear about your discussion activities. I am especially glad that he is giving us very interesting discussion topics.
This morning a Gaggenau contractor came to discuss what type of tap I would like him to install in my kitchen. This is just a small matter to get a new tap and coooktop installed, but I am still very happy about it. I am really a kitchen person.
At the moment I have been reading Yasuko san’s essay, which is well-written, though I am making a lot of small corrections and changes to it. Her essay is about a Japanese woman poet, translator and essayist, who was born in 1878 and died in 1957 at 79. Her life is less eventful than that of Ishii Fudeko, but nonetheless it is very interesting to know about her life. It seems that she had a stroke in her later years, but she kept reading English literary books until her death, according to her essay. She made a lot of contributions to the introduction of Irish literature to Japan. She felt that the Irish were her kin, Yasuko san wrote in her essay, which is very intriguing to me.
I sometimes feel that I was, in my previous life, a live-in maid for some middle-class family in 19th century England. Interesting, isn’t it? I sometimes can hear my master and his family talking and laughing in the lounge while I am cooking and cleaning in their tiny kitchen. Is it an auditory hallucination? Oh, stupid of me!!!
I hope you are enjoying this extremely pleasant autumn weather. I will talk to you again tomorrow, my precious friends. Goodnight to you.
Hi,everyone!!!
It is a delight to read a name of someone whom I know in different occasions. Ishii Fudeko seems to be more familiar. Conglatulations.
This Thursday, I was free so I wanted to see a movie in Midland. To see a movie or to clean up my house, that was a problem. I dicided to stay my house and do house chores. I should learn how to do housework more quickly.
Good night!
