Today it was very cold but not windy.
It was a good day for walking.
I walked to an Italian restaurant
which is about 15 minutes’ walk
from my apartment.
I had a delicious lunch there with a few of
my good friends.
We had a long relaxed talk together.
What a happy time I had today!
Thank you so much, Ladies!

I was so busy yesterday.
In Tokyo area, we had the first November snowfall
in 54 years.
According to the radio news, the Ome and
Chuo lines were suspended.
I was wondering if my daughter's family could go
to work or school.
All of them have to take the train daily to go there.
Suddenly I had a phone call from my daughter.
“The washing machine has suddenly stopped and
will not work while the clothes are being washed.
I'll bring these wet clothes to you, and will you
do the washing for me?”
I know she is very busy every morning.
She has to do many things before going to university.
So I myself hurried to her house and brought the washing
for a family of four to my apartment.
My washing machine is a small one and I did the washing
three times!
I went to my daughter's house and back three times a day
walking the snowy slippery road.
I was glad I am good at walking on the snowy road.
I was glad to be able to help my daughter.
“A new washing machine will arrive tomorrow,”
she said this morning. She bought a new one.
==============
By the way, my belated birthday party was held
at my daughter's the day before yesterday.
It was the only day all family could get together
for dinner. They are all very busy every day.
Oh, how beautiful their bithday song for me
in a vocal quartette!
Thank you so much, my dearest ones!

Are you interested in manhole covers,
I mean, their patterns or designs ?
They have stories.
I happened to know I could get
a manhole cover card of Kodaira City
at 「ふれあい下水道館」
（小平市公共下水道管理センター）.
I don't know how many cards they prepared.
It was written there were 500 cards left and they would give
us those cards in order of arrival.（先着順）
So I left my apartment at 10:00, walked in the rain
along Tamagawa-josui and arrived 下水道館.
It was my first time to visit it.

This is the manhole cover card I got.

This is a picture of our city's manhole cover
I took on my way back.
Are you interested in manhole covers?
I think I will take pictures of manhole covers
when I visit different towns or cities.

It took us about two hours to enjoy the exhibition.
Mrs. M and I had a late lunch at a terrace table
at a restaurant精養軒.
Then we strolled leisurely towards 不忍池.
（花園稲荷神社）
（弁天堂）
Mrs. M and I sat on a park bench
and talked a lot as we always do.
Both of us felt thankful for being alive
and enjoying talking there like that.
We promised to meet again next month.
I walked 12036 steps in a day.

Yesterday Mrs. M and I went to Ueno Park
to enjoy the exhibition of Cranach.
「クラーナハ ５００年後の誘惑」
There is a Lucas Cranach the Elder (1472—1553)
exhibition on at The National Museum of Wester Art,
国立西洋美術館.
This is the first exhibition devoted to Lucas Cranach
in Japan.
It was a very interesting exhibition.
He is famous for his paintings of heroines in stories.
His nude paintings were not unpleasant.
Why? I'm sorry I can't explain.
Lucas Cranach and Martin Lurther were good friends.
Cranach had an influence on Pablo Picasso
and other modern artists.
Art is long; life is short.
