2012.11.22

It was fine but very cold today.
Today is shosetsu (小雪), one of nijyushisekki (二十四節季),the 24 solar terms.  The last one was ritto (立冬) on November7, and the next one is taisetsu (大雪) on December 7. 
Shosetsu (小雪) literally mearns small snow and taisetsu (大雪) literally means big snow.  Shosetsu is the time when it is cold and snows a little bit.
I went out with 15 colleagues to have a farewell lunch for the director of our department.
