2026.10.5

 It was cloudy and slightly raining.

There were many things I had to deal with today at office.  

There was a meeting in the afternoon.

I overworked till 7:30 PM or so and came home around 9:30 PM.

I have a registered mail which is needed to re-deliver, but it would be impossible to be delivered during weekdays. Now I am thinking to take a few hours off to go to post office to get it before going to office.

I have been looking for a restaurant or izakaya where to have a farewell dinner for my colleague this Friday.  There are two choices, one is the close place, the other offers the favorite foods.  Which should we take?

There was an interesting case about birthday celebration, and I felt like knowing the cultural difference. In some countries, the birthday person throws a party and offers cakes or gifts. In other countries, people around plan a birthday party for the birthday person. How is the custom in your place?  In my case I like to throw a party for birthday person, especially a surprise party.

 It was cloudy.

There was a Hatsui Festival in Enoshima jinja shrine at 10 AM, therefore I was going to take 7:03 train but could not get up.

I arrived there after 20 minutes or so. I attended the festival, visited four shrines, took pictures of roses, and headed for Sakuragicho to attend the once a month seminar.

Before the seminar I visited Iseyamakotai jingu shrine, and after the seminar I visited Naritasan Yokohama branch.

I went to the Harbor View Park by Akaikutsu sight seeing bus and enjoyed seeing roses. I walked to Yamashita Park, and saw roses too.

On my way I dropped at Kurihama and enjoyed shopping.

 It was fine.

In the morning there was an advertisement of the nearby supermarket for the 1st anniversary's sale, I went shopping before going to Shinjuku.

In Shinjuku I met my friend from Matsumoto for lunch.  After that I saw her son and friend.

I was going to see a movie but decided to see her friend whom I met in May. We tried to go to coffee shop but there were many people, and we decided to go to restaurant. At the coffee shop I was shocked to know that the birthday gift coupon from my friend in May was valid until Sep. 30. I should have used it earlier.

At night there was a zoom event.  I watched a movie on TV.
