It was very fine today. But at night there was an earthquake.
They say today is day of matchmaking (enmusubi no hi:縁結びの日). There are two reasons. One is in October all the gods get together in Izumo(出雲) where there is a big shrine called Izumotaisha (出雲大社) and talk about matchmaking. The other is November 5 is 11.5 and read as ii (11) go (5) en (縁). "Ii" means good, and "go en" is polite way of saying fate or destiny. That means a good marriage.
