It was cloudy and slightly rainy.

My job is in one of the busiest seasons and I overworked a little bit.

At night I watched a program on TV which dealt with the aged people. They say there are five persons who are living through 5 Japanese era (Meiji,Taisho,Showa,Heisei, and Reiwa). One of them is the oldest woman in Japan who was a doctor. She is 114 years old. Her next goal is to be the oldest in the world.

At night I had once a month zoom gathering.

Saddest news of today was Robert Redford's passing at the age of 89.

It was cloudy and fine.

I got up early to get on the 5:46 train to go to Shinjuku to attend a bus tour at 7:45.

Destination was Yamanashi to eat Shine Muscat as much as we want and pack Shingenmochi as many as possible.

Since it is the middle of three day weekend the traffic jam were heavy for both to go and come back.

There were three places to visit besides lunch.

After coming back to Shinjuku, I ate supper and headed for Shinagawa.There was an accident and I had to use JR trains.

I could come home before midnight.
