「walking in the neighborhood」　　

Yesterday was such a cold day that I felt
as if winter had come.

Last night I turned on my kotatsu
and warmed myself at my kotatsu.

Today it was not so cold as yesterday.

I made a long detour to go to my daughter's home.

It was a delightful detour.

Today I walked 13887 steps.

By the way, the big typhoon No.14 is moving northward.

I hope the typhoon will weaken.

「the Seine painted by Mr. Eisuke Yano」　　

I went to Gallery Yoshii in Ginza today.

Mr. Yano is holding a one-man show of his paintings there.
He is a painter living in Paris, France.

All his paintings were those of the Seine flowing through Paris.

He loves the Seine.
He paints every scene of the Seine.

I was deeply touched by his paintings.

I visited southern France in 2003
but I've never been to northern France yet.

I really wish I could see the Seine with my own eyes.

Thank you よしえ-san for letting me know about him.

「community open college (6)　」　　

Yesterday I had the 6th English lesson
at 'community open college 2010.'

We learned how to do Yoga.
First we learned English words for Yoga.
The instructor taught us how to do Yoga in English.

English vocabulary for Yoga was easy but
doing Yoga was very difficult.

Sorry to say, I did not enjoy Yoga at all.

「I’m all right.」　　

I’m so happy that my ears do not hurt at all.

Today I went to my ear doctor.

He said,

“The medicine seems to have taken effect.
Your cough is easing up.
Your ears are clean.
Nothing is wrong with your ears.

Come to see me again when you have some pain
in your ears. I’m sure you are all right.”

It's nice to be in good health condition.

「blue skies on a cloudy day」　　

Autumn weather is very changeable.

The clouds have begun to break up.

Oh, beautiful blue skies!

But the sky has been mostly dull.

--------------

Something is wrong with my right ear.

「Friday English Circle」　　

In the first half of our class we talked about our week.

I talked about my harmonica solo.

I also talked about those 33 miners raised safely in Chile.

I find it more and more difficult to speak in English
since I do not use English in my daily life.

In the latter half of our class we read a small story
from "Chicken Soup".

Can you forgive a boy who killed your son whom you
raised as a single parent?

It was a true story how she, his mother, came to forgive
a boy who killed her beloved 21-year-old son.

-----------------------------

Our teacher brought chocolate candies for us.
Thank you, Ms.CaHill.

「Showa Kinen Park, with koharu」　　

Yesterday I took koharu, my granddaughter,
to Showa Kinen Park.

I thought cosmoses in Showa Kinen Park
would be at their best. Yes, I was right.

koharu and I took a bus to Kokubunji St.
Then we went to Tachikawa on Chuo Line.

Many people were enjoying a crisp autumn
in Showa Kinen Park.

koharu and I ate onigiri-lunch, viewing the beautiful
cosmos field.

"Amazing!" koharu said. She was excited.
After lunch we walked about in the cosmos field.

What a happy time we had!
