 It was rainy.

September 15 was used to be a national holiday called "Respect-the-Aged Day." But now it moved to the third Monday of September. Therefore, we will have a 5-day long weekend from Saturday this week.

I wished to travel but I have to work on Saturday, and there are some events in Tokyo, therefore I gave up traveling.

At lunch time I had a chance to eat with two colleagues. Our lunch time is flexible, because there are phone calls and other things, and we had to take the lunch time by shift. I seldom have the full one hour. For 15 minutes I watch the morning drama by NHK plus. But since I joined later, we enjoyed talking about traveling abroad for the first 15 minutes or so. Two of them studied in Canada and I studied in the USA, therefore we have some experiences in common. So, it was fun.

I overworked till 20:00 and came home earlier than usual and watched TV dramas after a long time.

It was cloudy and rather cool.

My colleague and I usually have lunch at Cafeteria. There are three choices of main dishes every day. We serve side dishes, pickles, rice, miso soup, salad by ourselves. There are desserts sometimes but not every day and we do not know when. It costs yen 600 for faculty and staff, and yen 500 for students.

Lunch time is from 12 to 1 PM.

First half we eat at the cafeteria, and the second half we move to the lounge to watch NHK's morning TV drama's rebroadcasting from 12:45 for 15 minutes. 

But today there was a memorial service in Okinawa, and it was broadcast by 12:49.

So we missed four minutes.

After coming home I watched the drama again by NHK Plus.

On my way home I filled up my car. This time it ran about 545 km, and it was about 36 l and cost about yen 6000.

It was fine.

I usually go to convenience stores before going to office to buy lunch so that I can make use of lunch time. First 15 minutes I watch NHK's morning drama's rebroadcast from 12:45, and news for 5 minutes and have lunch watching YouTube or sonething.

So usually I stay in my office most of the time.

I saw beautiful clouds in the afternoon through windows.
