HI, everyone!
Cosmos, you are amazingly ageless! I was told words KY and MK1 from my kids before. They usually use those words in their class. Where did you catch these?
Today when I watched ABC news on TV, I heard news about 60th wedding anniversary of Queen Elizabeth in England. On the news, it was reported that the couple call each other, Hon and Cabbage. Cabbage… I have never heard it. According a dictionary, it comes from French ‘chou,’ means darling. It is interesting, isn’t it?
So, see you tomorrow, good bye.

Hi, everyone.
As soon as I read MK, KY, they pass into oblivion. I would like to ask Cosmos again where do you know the words, or who told them?
This year, same pattern things come to me. I hope this is the last case.
Sorry, something was wrong with my previous commets. I used two different tags, <a> and <i> simultaneously. It didn't work.
Dear Cherry and friends,
I saw the ceremony of Queen Elizabeth's and her husband's diamond wedding on BBC, too. She is one of the most blessed queens. She celebrated the golden jubilee just several years ago. Did you read the book translated by Fujisawa san, Princesses of Wales? The Princesses were not very happy. Some princes hated princesses. But it is interesting to know that princesses have potential power to become ancestors of queens and kings. Royal families do not have political power these days, but they always provide us with worldly topics such as family issues. They often make me wonder what is family.
Yesterday we had a small gathering to welcome our friend visiting from Canada. She is T-san. She and her children have Canadian citizenship, and she works in Vancouver. When I went to Canada, a friend of mine, C-san, introduced me to her. Our mutual friend, M-san, is originally T-san's childhood friend. That's why M-san's family, C-san's family, T-san, and I had dinner together. In Canada, T-san always helped me. For example, she negotiated with families when I was looking for a house to stay. She paid deposit for me. As a single parent, she sometimes makes friends with Japanese single mothers. Oops, I'm wrong. I thought all the women I met through T-san were single parents. Not everybody. One of them hasn't divorced but she was always with her son. But I had never seen her husband.
Maybe Cherry might be interested in one of her friends, Keiko-san. She is a freelance writer. She sometimes writes for the Mainichi newspaper. Her business is helping families to study abroad. Parents can go ESL while their kids go camping or go daycare centers. My former home stay family used to be her business partner and hosted Japanese kids and families, but they moved to Victoria recently. Anyway, if you're interested, please take a look at her websites
fromWest Homestay, fromWest main
and her article,
. The title is Sekai no Kosodate, which I wanted to italize.
Have fun.
Good night.

The outcome is horrible. All lines below the link were included in the tag. I gave up. Just ignore the untidiness. One good thing is you can click anywhere on the lines.
Hello, friends.
It is a shame to tell you about my boob, but azalea wanted to know my adventurous happening, so I'll confess it.
When we were waiting at the airport on our way back from Taiwan,as we reached there so early that I was reading a very interesting book written by Yonehara Mari, a Russian interpreter,for more than 30minutes. Then my daughter felt it strange to see many Chinese around us and we were the only Japanese, so she checked the ticket and found that we lined up in a different gate.
It was only 10 minutes before our flight took off, so we ran and ran to the right place. We were scolded by the flight attendant saying, "We'll leave you behind!"
We were saved by a hair's breadth.
If my daughter had noticed it a little later, we couldn't have come back on the day.
When I came back , I found that the notice of passing an examination of the primary guide test. I'm very happy because I almost gave up the result and made up my mind to take the test next year. So I have to go to take the secondary test in Kyoto on Dec.2.
So I can't attend Dr.Ueno's lecture on Dec.2. I already paid for it, so if anyone wants to go, please let me know.
Hello, everybody
I love to hear other’s boo-boo stories. I enjoyed Magnolia’s bungling story at the airport.
Whenever I hear such kind blunder of others, I always feel relieved, knowing that not only me but others do such a stupid. However, you are really smart person. What a wonderful to pass the English guide test! Congratulation, Magnolia! Surely you will succeed in the secondary test, too.
By the way, England’s Royal families are always attracting the attention of the whole world. They must show their celebrating events and cannot hide a skeleton in the closet.
That means they have no private life. They have no right of choosing job, no right of free talking. They must always endure the media’s curiosity. I feel sorry for them.
Prince Chares has been promoting environmental ideas and raised organic products. Once, TV program introduced his way of talking to his plants. But nobody admitted him as a conservationist. He was only target of the Royal scandal. He has a lot of his own ideas and achievements. How pity he hasn’t gained any recognition about his talent.
Nowadays royal families have less freedom on the earth. The situation of Japanese Imperial families is the same. Now I wrap up today. See you soon, friends. Bye.
