It is a national holiday called Showa no hi, Day of Showa, which was used to be Emperor Showa's birthday.

It is the start of the Golden Week. What are plans?

I stayed at home all day long. 

In the morning I made the 77th ebook about the waterfalls in Izu. This is the first book of the new series "Wonderful nature."

In the afternoon I studied for the examinations for tomorrow.

I am surprised to receive the warning about my post of 2019.9.11. I have no idea why it was judged against the Blogger Contents Policy or Community Guideline.

 

 

2023.4.28

It was fine.

Sky was beautiful with clouds.

It's been a month since I started the new job. It was not the position I applied for, but it seems it was much better.

I like the location where I see the Mt.Fuji and Enoshima. There are beautiful spots on my way to work.

There is a cafeteria where I can eat daily set menu.

There is a lounge where has a TV set so that I can enjoy watching the NHK drama at lunch time.

From the begining I have 20 paid holidays per year.

The only complaint I can say is the temperature of the room. It is too cold. I wore some blankets at my office.

Today's lunch was grilled salmon. I enjoyed using a new application to calculate calories.

On my way home I went shopping.

Have a nice golden week!

2023.4.27

It was fine and Mt. Fuji was so beautiful.

I parked at Tateishi to take pictures in the morning.

Sunset was also very beautiful and on my way back I tried to park at Tateishi to take pictures but there were too many cars to park and I gave up.

Present campaign of my 76th book started. To my glad it's been No.1 in Japan.

Today I registered Mina point which is a point site related to My Number Card I renewed yesterday.

Today is ichiryu manbaibi when a grain becomes 10000 times. What will it be?

2023.4.26

It was a rainy day, but became fine in the evening, and I saw the very beautiful sunset.

I chose the remote work today to go to the city office at lunch time to renew My Number Card.

Everything went well. Next time when I renew the card 5 years later I need the new photo. 

The good things of remote work are to save time for commuting and money for lunch. I could receive the delivery goods.

I received the pictures taken on April 1st by a professional photograqher. At that time cherry blossoms were full in bloom. After photo shooting , I went to Tokyo to see my friends from Singapore and visited the Inui street of the Imperial Palace and Ueno. How fast time flies!

I watched the recorded dramas and others.

2023.4.25

It was cloudy and very cold. It seems it is very cold in winter.

Today I published the 76th ebook about my trip to Izu in March 2023.

It became No.1 in Japan.

At work I learned how to get the approval. It is all systemized.  

Lunch was deep fried oysters, tuna, and quail eggs. Deep fried quail eggs were the first foods that appeared on the menu twice.

At night there was a zoom session but I could not invite anybody.

2023.4.24

It was cloudy and very cold like winter came back again.

It seems tomorrow will be colder.

Weather this year is strange. 

Warm weather made cherry blossoms bloom earlier than usual.

But cold again.

Everday I am looking for the lunch menu at the cafeteria. There are three every day.

At the entrance I saw the salt-grilled Pacific Saury, but at the cashier it was changed to red fish. 

When I returned the dishes, it was changed to something different again.

Is menu A so popular??

Dessert was sold out unfortunately.

After having dinner I made two books; one is about my trip to Izu peninsula last month, the other is the new series of wonderful nature and about waterfalls.

Since today is  ichirvu manbaibi (一粒万倍日)　when one grain becomes 10000 times.

I hope the new series will be a big hit.

I need to study for the exam this weekend.

2023.4.23

It was fine.

I slept long.

I was going to stay home all day long, but since today is the election day for city councils, I went to vote first and shopping later im the evening.

It would be nice if we could vote online.

My 75th ebook campaign was over, and I started making the new book which is about my trip to Izu peninsula last month.

There are many pictures for three days. So it is very hard which to choose.

After all I decided to make a new series for waterfalls which I have thought of for a long time.

2023.4.22

It was cloudy.

In the afternoon I walked to the station and went to Kawasaki to see the movie "Air." I tried to reserve the seat through website for the first time. It was easier than I thought. It was a nice movie.

I transferred some fees through ATM. I am glad to do so by the final deadline. Life became easier and convenient by automation.

However I couldn't renew the My Number Card. It seems we need to go to the window of the city office. There was  three months period but I totally forgot about the note regarding the Golden Week. I need to apply for remote work near future.

On my way back I went shopping and came home on foot.

It was fine and I saw the beautiful Mt. Fuji this morning, but became cloudy in the afternoon.

I visited two shrines and two temples in Kanazawa bunko by chance.

After that I went to see my friend at Shinagawa. We went to the cafeterias but they were full too.

I left home around 8am and came home around 6:15pm or so. I used to commute to Tokyo by trains which took about four hours and a half per day.  It takes about 30 minutes each now, so I can save for three hours and a half per day.
