It was cloudy and slightly rainy.
I went to betsugeiko (別稽古), special tea lesson in the afternonn. I used to go to regular tea lesson every Thursday, but since I started working in May I have not been there. On special lessons we need to wear kimono. Today we learned 5 lessons. There were 5 pupils. So each person became the host. I was in charge of gozumi (後炭), the second charcoal procedure. Today's sweet was ajisai (紫陽花), hydrangea.
It's been only three months since I stopped practicing but it was rather hard to do seiza (正座), sit up straight. There is a saying narau yori narero (習うより慣れろ). Custom makes all things easy. Or Practice makes perfect. I should practice by myself even though I cannot attend the regular practice.
After the lesson I went to grocery shopping. There was a young boy who asked me if there is a festival somewhere tonight because I was wearing kimono.
At night there was an additional meeting for community representatives.
So I was rather busy today.
