2026.8.1

A new month has started.

August is hachigatsu(8月,八月 ) or hazuki (葉月) in Japanese.

As the first day of the month rituals, I changed plants, rice, and salt of the in-house shrine, 5 dishes of the mounted salt. I posted the good days of August calendar. And I visited the nearby shrine.

After that I went grocery shopping.

On the first day I want to start something new. So, I started using the new sandal and slippers.

At night I submitted the draft of the 215th ebook.

I should have learned online lectures about disaster prevention but did not have time.

 It was fine and very hot.

I was busy at work as always but came home earlier than usual to hold the 59th bilingual fortune sharing tea party.

I enjoyed listening to the good stories happened in July. This time while we are listening to one person's story, another person found the image picture and shared it so that we understand the story better.  She said she became the winner of prize at the Mr. Fujimoto's tour, and she also shared the video of fireworks festival from her own room.

I ordered Nohana album. This is very good to remember the things happened in a month. It costs only handling charge of 330 yen and I can make 20 pages album.

These two things are my end of the month routines.

2026.7.30

 It was cloudy and fine in the morning, and I saw the Angel's ladder when I got on the train.

When I got to Tokyo, it was fine.

In the afternoon it started raining and I saw thunder lights.

When I got home it was not raining.

As usual I overworked till 20:30 and got home around 22:30.

I had a video meeting in the evening.

It seems there are after shakes in Kumamoto Area.
