It was fine and hot in the morning; it seemed to have rained during daytime because when I got back to my car at night it was wet.
Today is risshu (立秋), one of nijushisekki (二十四節気), 24 solar terms. The last one was taisho (大暑) on July 23, and the next one is shosho (処暑) on August 23. Risshu literally means stand fall, it is the first day of autumn. From this day greeting changes.
Until yesterday, we said "Shochu omimai moshiagemasu(暑中お見舞い申し上げます)" but after risshu we say "Zansho omimai moshiagemasu (残暑お見舞い申し上げます)." Both are greetings of hot summer. The former means "Wishing you a pleasant summer during this summer heat." And the latter means "Wishing you a pleasant summer during this lingering summer heat.” On the lunar calendar, it is already fall.
There were two meetings this afternoon, and I called to many people and wrote many emails as usual and overworked till 21:30.
After coming home, I watched very interesting documentary TV program about the Haneda Airport by 100 cameras.
