After school

HI, everyone!

I make a correction:
The rapidness of children’s growth always surprises me.

Alice, I’m also happy to hear about one of the brightest moments in your life. I can’t imagine how much you have worked to reach your destination.

At almost noon, a friend of my older daughter, Yui-chan, who lives in the same apartment, came to my house after school. She said she didn’t have her own key so couldn’t enter at the front door into her house. I knew her mother would be away for work until evening and her sister also couldn’t get back early because of her school club. I welcomed her into my house and got children’s lunch ready. Unfortunately, I am not a good cook. I made a sort of an omelette containing stir-fried rice for them. I felt sorry for Yui-chan.
Anyway, after lunch, they enjoyed their long free time outside the house, basking the warm spring sunshine. Yes, it was just a heaven-like sunlight.

So, see you tomorrow. Good night.

Dear Cherry and friends,

Hi! How are you?
I appreciate your messages of congratulations.

I had stiff shoulders last night, but they are getting better.
Maybe because I had a paper bag and a shoulder bag. They are heavier than the bag I usually carry. In addition, a formal ceremony such as wedding ceremony often makes me feel tired because of stiff rituals. Last night I didn't want to study either English or statistics, and I wanted to just relax, so I listened to BBC without watching it. I heard Queen Elizabeth attend a Maundy Thursday service held in Northern Ireland. (I didn't catch it correctly. I thought she attended Easter service. It's a shame.) Queens and that sort of people often have to attend ceremonies. Does one get used to doing it? Aristocrats seem to enjoy attending such events. On Queen Victoria's happiest and the most honorable day in her life, the opening ceremony of the Great Exhibition was held at Crystal Palace. When I imagine such a majestic event, I'm overwhelmed and almost fainted away.

Good night. Have a good weekend.

Dear Cherry and friends,

It was Wednesday, March 20. We had a slight rain. In the morning, I went to a coffee shop nearby with my HD. My daughter went to the city aquarium with the members of local children committee. My son went to somewhere around Nagoya Station with his friend. By the way, the owner of the coffee shop serves us a good coffee in a beautiful precious cup and a saucer. She serves me a coffee in a Wedgewood with beautiful flower print. I thought the flowers were cherry blossoms, but when I saw it closely and carefully, I found some purple fruits were also printed.
Yes, those were the series of plums produced by Wedgewood. They have sort of a Japanese taste. I guess Wedgewood is inspired by the Japanese beauty. Thank you.

Hi, friends,

It was March 21, Friday. Alice, it is so wonderful to hear you got a master degree. Please accept my sincere congratulations upon your graduation! Today I'd like to write about the difference between 'thank you' and 'arigato'. Both have the same meaning, but the former is uttered to the person, the latter to the heaven. In case we say "arigato", we tell the heaven that we have an experience which is very unusaul, or difficult to have. Last time I saw Azalea, she mentioned she would go to Tokyo to look after her mother as she left the hospital. I hope everything goes well with her and her mother. (I found it hard to write in a right tense. Please correct if you don't mind.) Thank you. I'd like to make up the blog I missed or I couldn't write. My PC was occupied and while wailing, I fall asleep. I wish I had another PC as Plum did.

Hi, ladies!!!

It’s Saturday, March 22, 2008, today, and it’s been another beautiful day, hasn’t it?



I've got a new computer, an iMac, a desktop computer, which has got a bigger screen, but I am not used to this large size, and so it’s a little bit hard to use this computer. Anyway, I just hope this computer is less burdensome than the other one, which I had used for 3 years and used almost everyday for one year when I was writing a book, which was published in 2006. 



Due to my use of this new computer, I suppose I have lost the access to the NWSG notice board. It is hard to explain exactly what happened. I used to have the web cite in the bookmark bar of my previous computer, and I tried to get to it after the disconnection of the Yahoo line, but I couldn’t make it although I again connected the line to my old one. I assume that once a new connection is established in the Yahoo network, the old one is instantly terminated. It should be so…I can get it.


Maybe you wouldn’t understand what I’m talking about, but it’s not a big deal itself. I just hope someone could write something in the board and post it, so that I could get to have a connection again. Is it too big a favor to ask? I hope not…



Apart from that, I don’t have any problem with my new computer at the moment. So far, so good… But changing computers is fairly troublesome and problematic, isn’t it?


I hope all of you are having a terrific and gorgeous spring evening. Talk to you again tomorrow, my lovely friends. Have fun and sleep well. Goodnight…

Hello, friends.
Congratulations, alice!

I had a good time at plum's the other day, getting her sincere advice about sunflower's and my essays.I also could hear cosmos and sunflower's comments. Thank you very much.

I really appreciate your kindness, plum. I e-mailed you to your PC meru-ado, explaining my current jobs and my situation, too.

On the way back, we dropped by Ikeshita Central Garden plum told us that day and we enjoyed its atomosphere, getting some food, one of which I bought was PESTO ALLA GENOVESE. It is a sort of Italian pasta sauce my American teacher recommended me once, which includes basilico, such kinds of nut chips as pine nuts,walnuts,cashew nuts and cheese with olive oil.

I cooked spaghetti yesterday,using that sauce,tuna, and petite tomatoes, which was very simple to cook and delicious. I like it.

Dear Cherry and friends,

It is Saturday, March 22. How are you doing? It was such a beatiful day, wasn't it ? My HD drove to Ise by himself. I had some errands to do. Since his car is convertible, he got severe sunburn. When I saw him, I mistook him for drunken. I disagreed with him when he wanted to buy that type of car. He didn't listen.
Anyway, question time! What color are your eyes? I guess all of you know the answer, but until tomorrow I'll keep it in my mind.
Thank you. I hope you all have a wonderful sound sleep.
