2026.8.4

 It was fine and cloudy, rather cooler than usual.

I went to the Immigration Office to ask the participants' COE situation in the morning. It's been a while since I went there last. Because we have started to try online application.

During daytime I have been very busy for answering phone, writing emails, having meetings, and so on.

I overworked till 22:10 and came home by the last train again.

I have finished reading the first book of 8 books I bought the day before yesterday.

From today 215th book campaign started. To my glad it has been No. 1 in Japan. No.2 in the USA.

2026.8.3

It was cloudy and slightly rainy. It was rather cool.

I was busy as usual and came home by the last train.

When I got on the elevator from the office I noticed there was no belt.  I went back to the office but there was nothing.  I wondered why and where I lost it. When I returned the key, I asked there to report me if there was lost and found items.  When I got to my car at the station, I found it was caught in the door. I felt relieved.

From today 215th present campaign started.

I wanted to finish reading a book every day, but I could not.

2026.8.2

It was fine and very hot.

My 215th E-book was released.

I attended a zoom seminar in the morning.

After having lunch, I headed for Hinodecho to attend a monthly seminar.

After the seminar, I visited Iseyamakotai jingu shrine and Naritasan Yokohama branch. To my surprise the latter was already closed.

On my way home, I dropped at Kamioooka to go to my favorite bookstore. I like their book cover. I bought 8 books, because I will visit the scholar in two weeks. It's been a long time to buy paper books.

At night I took an online lesson.
