It was fine.

Today is ritto (立冬), one of 24 sekki (二十四節気), 24 solar terms. 　

Last one was soko (霜降) on October 23 and the next one is shosetsu (小雪) on November 22.

I went to the office after a week.

I saw the fireworks and a big moon on my way home.

I received the suitcase tonight.

I cooked cherry blossom rice which was beautiful color and delicious.

Ritto literally means stand winter, it is the beginning of winter.

Today I got a first mochu (喪中) postcard this year.  Mochu means mourning. My high school friend's father passed away at the age of 91.  Last fall her mother passed away. How sad she must be!

Postage of postcard was raised to yen 85.  So I will write less new year's cards than usual.

When I got off the Roppongi station this morning, there were many policemen because of the US President's Japan visit.

At lunch time I met my friend from Kobe and ate at the healthy Japanese food restaurant. This was the second time for me to go there. I chose daily special which includes deep-fried
oyster & salmon.
If you show the coupon, you can get free soft drink which cost yen 350. Last time I could not order carrot juice, so this time I ordered it without hesitation.
There was only one hour break, but we enjoyed the reunion.

In the evening I attended the meeting at Kanda. There were some people I have not met for a while, but because of my Facebook posts, they feel they often meet me.
We feel connected by Facebook. Isn't it nice?
