Hi, everyone!
It has been a little cold rainy day today. There was a graduation ceremony at my kids’ school this morning, and my older daughter attended it as a student of the school. I heard through the window the farewell song hotaruno hikari, which made me sentimental. I will certainly have the day when my daughter would graduate from elementary school next year. The rapidness of children’s growth is always surprised me.
So, see you tomorrow. Good night.

Hi, ladies!!!
How are you doing?
Cosmos, Sunflower and Magnolia came to my place to discuss the essays written by Sunflower and Magnolia, and we had a most pleasant time together.
I got a box of my new computer a couple of days ago, but my damaged hands still do not allow me to open it. Actually opening a big cardboard box takes a lot of force and dexterity, and due to the lack of them, I do have to ask my husband to do that for me. It’s sad, isn’t it? Probably this weekend he will be available for that, and I will be able to take a look at my new computer. Wow, it’s great, isn’t it?
At the moment, the most essential matter in my life is doing rehabilitation exercises, which takes me, on average, one to three hours a day. Without the exercises, I will suffer from bodily problems, and so I will keep doing them, at least until the end of April, in order to check whether my present exercises are really effective to me or not. If not, I will have to think about a new method to improve my health condition. It’s a nuisance to keep rehabilitation exercises regularly, but it cannot be helped in my case.
Tomorrow and this weekend I will have an extremely hectic work schedule, since I’ve got a lot to be done before going to London. On Monday I will see my dentist and on Tuesday I will visit my dermatologist. My visits of these doctors, of course, are not part of my paid work, but they are very important portion of my life.
I hope all of you are having a fantastic Thursday evening. Especially, Cosmos, Sunflower, and Magnolia, please take a good rest and look after yourselves. I suppose I tired and stressed out all of you…Sorry…Sleep well… Have a terrific day tomorrow. Goodnight, my precious friends.
Dear Cherry and friends,
Hello. How are you?
This is the season of graduation.
I finally got a master's degree. Today was the ceremony of the commencement.
Needless to say, every graduate was in formal attire. Many young female students were wearing hakama, a pleated skirt worn over kimono. It was fun to imagine that it was Japanese classical school uniform in the Meiji period. I wore a white suit which I bought to wear at my student's wedding ceremony last December. At the ceremony, each student had to wear a gown and an academic cap. This was the second time to attend the ceremony. When I graduated from the university many years ago, I didn't sit close to the stage and couldn't see what happen on the stage precisely. Our today's seats are relatively close to the stage. It was a solemn ceremony.
After the ceremony, every student got a diploma. We found Dean was standing outside the hall. In front of him, some students were standing in line. My fellow students and I also queued and asked him to line up for a picture with us. This is the final ceremony of the commencement at this university for him to attend as Dean. He's going to resign and from next spring he'll become a principal of an elementary school where he can have infinite hopes and dreams about students' future, I guess. He had made a lot of efforts to found the elementary school.
Anyways, it was a bit tiring day.
Talk to you later.
Hello, Cherry and my dear friends.
It’s March 20.
Plum, thank you very much for your practical and useful advice you gave me today. You said that our brain will keep active as long as we give it stimulation. I’d like to improve my writing skills and write my essay in concise English. You inpsired me to greater efforts.
I'll get a good night's sleep.
Good-night, my dear friend.
Dear Cherry and friends
Thank you, Plum, for taking time for us. We had a really good time. I couldn’t bring my essay, but I learned a lot on the processes of reading and checking essays of Sunflower’s and Magnolia’s. I always feel as if I were an infant speaking a smattering English in front of Plum. Anyway I need to take much more time to improve my English.
Today we have had fantastic news about the ceremony of commencement from Alice. I suppose Alice is enjoying the spring time of life now.
By the way, you know the famous poem “Youth” written by Sumuel Ulman, don’t you?
Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind;
It is not a matter of rosy cheeks,
Red lips and supple knees;
It is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination,
A vigor of the emotions;
It is the freshness of the deep springs of life.
I have actually recognizes all members, let alone Plum and Alice, are youths.
Good night everybody. Have a nice sleep and nice dream.
Hello, Cherry and my dear friends.
It’s March 21. It’s a lovely day today with no clouds in the blue sky. Spring weather motivated me to take a short walk for an hour or so with my DH. He was free on Friday. It was nice to walk along the Aichi Yosui, Aichi waterway which is within ten minutes walk from my house. We could see a natural woodland, pasture and graveyards with cherry trees along the Aichi waterway. I love this quiet walking course of rural scenery.
Plum,you have a positive thinking toward everything so you seem to enjoy doing rehabilitation exercises. It's good for you.
Alice, congratulation on your glorious master's degree!
I hope you all enjoy nice spring weather.
See you tomorrow.
Hi, ladies!!!
It has been a beautiful day, hasn’t it? Warm, yes, very pleasantly warm and I felt in the bright and sunny spring sunlight as if I had been in heaven. I have never been to heaven, and I don’t know what it’s like, though.
I am delighted to know that Alice finished her master’s degree course and attended the graduation ceremony at her grad school. Now she is ready to commence a new way of her life… It’s always fascinating to see young promising women pursue what they have to pursue, isn’t it?
I got an email from Azalea, saying that she was in Tokyo from 12th to 19th and that she worked earnestly (?) like a house servant(?). I just wondered what she had been doing in Tokyo. Perhaps, she went there to see her mother, who I think that I heard was sick… Is her mother seriously ill? Is she in a critical condition? I just thought to myself.
This morning, at maybe a little past 4, Monamie (one of our pet cats) started to meow so loudly, and bit my face a few times. She is awfully mischievous, isn’t she? Normally she meows at around 7 to wake me up and get me feed her, but today it was too early. Anyway I got up and went downstairs to feed her as she wanted me to do. Then, I tried to go back to sleep, but it was impossible. Perhaps, just due to luck of sleep, I feel a little bit dizzy. I would like to have an early night…
Well, I think I have to start cooking dinner, my precious friends. I hope all of you are having a loving late afternoon… Bye for now.
