It was fine.

Something strange was happening at office.

We manage our working time by registering the timecard, and they were put in the rack. However, they were missing. There was a big earthquake during the weekend.  We thought it might have ended up in the trash by accident.  I went to check the garbage disposal company, but they could not find. We register from the 11th of the month to the 10th of the next month.  We had to write our working time by handwriting from August 11 to 24. I felt I was lucky to have written how long I overworked every day in this blog, so that I could trace. If not, my overwork time might not have been calculated correctly.

Today I had to overwork until 20:10 or so.

I have published my 217th eBook.

 It was fine.

Today is shosho (処暑), one of nijyushisekki (二十四節気), 24 solar terms. The last one was risshu (立秋) on August 7 and the next one is hakuro (白露) on September 7.

I wanted to sleep late but there was a zoom session in the morning and I woke up earlier than usual weekend.

I cleared the kimono I wore last Sunday and prepare for the next Sunday.

I stayed at home all day long.

I published the 217th eBook.

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

I got up earlier than usual.

I went to Ueno to see the lotus flowers in the morning. They were so beautiful.

After that I went to the Tokyo Fire Department in Akihabara to attend Fire and Disaster Prevention Manager Training from 9 AM to 4 PM. In the morning we took lectures and in the afternoon we learned practical skills which were very interesting. I am glad I passed the exam by perfect score.

After the training, I went to Kiyosumi Park to see lotus, however they did not have any of them.  I was wondering if I should walk in the heavy rain without lotus but decided to go around.

After that I headed for Shibuya to attend a dinner party. It was raining heavily. I was sad that I started using the new pair of shoes. There were 6 people. We enjoyed talking and eating especially puffy pancakes.  We celebrated one of them on getting a job and graduation from university.

When we went out, it was already stopped raining.

It was an eventful day.
