The last day of May.  How fast time flies!

It was fine and very hot.  In some places it went up to more than 35 degrees centigrade which is called moshobi (猛暑日), heat wave day.

I dried futon (布団) for kotatsu (こたつ) at last and changed some clothes from winter to summer.  Usually June 1 is the day for changing clothes called koromogae (衣替え).  In Japanese public high schools and junior high schools, students' uniform are changed from winter one to summer one.

There was a toilet problem in the morning and I called the plumber to fix it.  It cost yen 8,640.

In the evening I went grocery shopping.

It was another hot day.
It is still May but it seems summer has come.  I wonder what it would be in July and August.

After work I attended the UNDP career seminar.  I have long wanted to work at the international organizations.  I wish there would have been such a seminar when I was much younger.  These days we can get information through Internet, so I think the young generation of today is blessed.
For those who are interested in UNDP and have an intention to learn additional foreign languages, they suggested either Arabic or French.

It was fine and became very hot.  In some places it went up to more than 30 degrees centigrade, which is called manatsubi (真夏日), mid summer day.

I took a day off to take my father to the hospital.  There were so many patients today and it took so long to get urine and blood examination. 
After doctor's consulting, we went out for lunch .

In the afternoon, there were two visitors to talk about the care for my father.

Finally the new PC and  printer arrived!
