2026.7.1

 A new month has started.

July is shichigatsu (7月, 七月) or fuzuki (文月) in Japanese.

Today is the first day of the second half of 2026.

On the first day of the month there are some rituals for me to do such as to post the calendar of good days, to change plants, rice, salt of the inhouse shrine, to change the 5 mounted salt in house, and to visit the nearby shrine as otsuitachi mairi (お朔日参り).

I got up earlier to do these, and I took a later train than usual.

It was fine in the morning but became rain in the evening.

I worked at the office until 11 AM and went to the Haneda Airport to meet participants of the program around 1 PM. I took one of them to Shinagawa station and after that I went back to the Haneda Airport again to meet another participant around 7 PM. It was rather hard.

I had lunch at a Japanese restaurant in Haneda with my colleague.  It was a good chance to talk about us besides work. We had something in common.

I came home around 10:00 PM or so.
