HI, everyone!
This morning, I went to parental visitation of my kids’ school in pretty cold rain. At that class, a friend of mine asked me for lunch with her friends. I gladly agreed to it, because I haven’t gone to lunch with my kids’ mothers for a long time. Then we went to a Western food restaurant by her car. Since I have never talked to her friends, I felt a bit nervous with them. But gradually we began to relax each other, we enjoyed to chat and chat of several issues, and have delicious food. I am shy person and will take a long time to be a good friend.
Plum, it seems really effective for me to think everything, everywhere in English. On the way to my work, I always listen to CNN radio news on my ipod and do shadowing in a low voice. It is very easy way to learn listening English with ipod, which makes my commuting enjoyable. I will try to replace the thought in my mind with English.
It became winter from autumn. I hope you have good sleep. Bye!

Hello,friends.
I enjoyed Plum's New Zealand story, it looked like a beautiful movie scene. That image came to my mind one after another as picturesque sceneries. I missed New Zealand, too.
Last Saturday I had a promise with my friend to go to Nagoya Gaidai which held a Interpreter Contest, but unfortunately there was a traffic accident resulting in death in Jinryo-Kachigawa again, so I was confined in a train for 40 minutes and still then I didn't know when the train started.
I had the same experience last year or two years ago when I had a promise with Cosmos to show a foreigner around Nagoya.
This was the 3rd time someone killed herself or himself by jumping in front of a train at the same place. Why can't they stop it?
Anyway we had no subway line and I gave up going to Nagoya and came home.
If it had been the next day on Sunday, I couldn't have taken the secondary test of Interpreter & Guide.
As I couldn't trust JR on Sunday, I went to Kyoto 1.5 hour earlier to take the exam. Since I was so tired to wait, I made some blunder. It was in the afternoono, but I entered the room, saying "Good morning!" cheerfully.
But anyway I kept smiling and talking, so examineers understood my positive attitude only.
I was very exhausted when I came home around 6 o'clock.
Hi, everyone.
Whenever I read the Plum's rain story, I can hear music. I don't know why? However, it is sometimes Carpenter's or Chopin's one. Her dipiction is scenic. I have never been to New Zealand but there is a sense I directly see the greenary scene or I directly hear the sound of the rain.
By the way, there is biggest news ever about dinosaurs. You don't want to hear me? OK I'll continue.
The US geographic association announced that it excavated the mummified soft tissues including ligament and tendon of herbivorous dinosaurs which lived 67 million years ago in North Dakota. The dinosaur is Hadrosaurus, duck billied dinosaur. In the skin, scale like pattern is observed. However, the color is not identified. Nature is great. 67 million-years-ago-living thing was mummified. We have thought that we had not found petrified soft tissues. I want to know the petrified organs are found. If it is preserved, we can know the large sphere of dinosaurs. Until this discovery, as for dinosaurs, Scientists have presumed them through almost all bones.
I can't say ''I love dinosaurs to the bone'' from now.
Hello, everyone!!!
How are you?
It is Tuesday, December 4, 2007, today, and it is cloudy and quite cold.
Last night I got a phone call from the director of the Christianity Studies Association, which I am a member of. I met him two years ago when I had my book on the missionary Akard published, and he made arrangements to admit me to the Association. He asked me whether I could give a speech about her on Friday, September 19, 2008, at Kyushu Lutheran University where the Association’s annual meeting will be held.
Actually he sent me a postcard asking me that in September, but I could not reply to him due to my illness. In fact I did not know what to say to him at that time.
Anyway I said yes to him this time. I did not so willingly accept his proposal and am not greatly interested in giving a speech, since I do not have my usual confidence in my health, and I still have some fear that I might not have completely recovered from my hernia by that time.But how can I say no to him? I am lucky that I am still alive.
Tonight I am going to babysit Yujin, since my daughter is going out for a gathering with her friends. He is a giant baby and is too heavy to hold, but normally he is quiet, and so probably it should be all right.
It is getting cold, and I just hope you warm yourselves up tonight. Goodnight, my precious friends.
