2026.2.1

A new month has started.

February is Nigatsu (2月、二月) or Kisaragi (如月) in Japanese.

On the first day of the month there are some things I do.
One of them is to change offerings of the in-house shrine and change mounted salt.

The other is to visit shrines.
I decided to walk to the shrine and take awalk for a while because it was such a nice day. I happened to see a sign borad of the shrine, so I decided to visit there. It has a long history.
After that I decided to visit one more shrine which I visited last new year's day.

I visited one more place where my neighbour recommended me last week. I was going to buy some vegetables if there are, but it seemed that all were sold out.

I walked more than10 kilometers.

After coming home I ate sweets I bought yesterday with green tea.

At night I attended a zoom gathering.

I prepared the 197th ebook.
