5月19日(gogatsu jyuku nichi): May 19

It was fine and very warm today.

I went out for lunch with colleagues. The sunlight was so strong that I felt it is like summer.

Do you know senryu (川柳), ironic 17-syllable poem? On today's newspaper there appeared 24th Salaried Workers' Senryu Best 10. In February 100 senryu were selected, and 82,209 people have voted until March 16 and they were totaled. No. 1 senryu was chosen by 2,219 votes.
In Japanese it is Hisashiburi naga denai mama ja matane (久しぶり~ 名が出ないまま じゃあまたね~), meaning "Long time no see!", saying "See you!" before recalling their names.
