It was fine and hot.

Today is a national holiday called Constitution Day.

It's been 79 years since the Constitution came into effect.

After lunch I started visiting 8 temples of the 33 Kannon temples.

There were some temples where I could not go by car because some roads were very narrow and there was no parking lot.

There were some fishing ports and marinas while I was driving. 

On my way home I stopped a supermarket and got a Yamzaki spring pan festival dish.

There was a zoom gathering at night.

I decided to cancel the trip next weekend after consideration.

It was fine.

I went to Kamakura to have lunch with an ex-colleague. It was rather expensive but we enjoyed eating and talking. While I was working, we seldom had a chance to talk, but at the very last day we found the same interest and decided to have lunch.

After saying good-bye I went to Higashi zushi to visit one of 33 Kannon temples.

After that I went to Taura to visit another 33 Kannon temples.

I was going to visit one more temple, but I heard it would take longer time I thought. 

So I gave up, but visit a shrine nearby.

After coming home I harvested butterburs for the second time.

Tonight it is the fullmoon.

2026.5.1

A new month has started. May is gogatsu (5月、五月) or Satsuki (皐月). 

There are some things I do on the first day of the month. 

I should have got up earlier but could not. So, I could not change plant, rice, salt of inhouse shrine and change the mounted salt.

It was rainy but became fine.

I went to the nearby shrine before going to work. 

I missed the usual train. I bought some bums from the coin locker style vending machine for the first time. It was about half price because of the expire dates.

On the train I fell asleep and when I realized it was already my station and jumped out and left the umbrella behind.I asked the lost and found by email.As of now it is not found yet.
