 It was fine.

In the morning I went to the National Olympic Youth Center to attend the event after a long time.  IOn my way there I went via Shinjuku and Sangu bashi. It was supposed to start at 10 AM and I arrived around 9:35 AM, but it was already begun.  After the meeting and lunch, I attended another session for the first time and decided to go back to the office.  On my way back I walked through the Meiji jingu shrine and took a train from Harajuku. I will visit there on Friday, so I will try to go from Yoyogi Park.

I went to the office in the afternoon.  There were lots of things to deal with and I overworked till 20:30 or so and come home around 22:30.

I finished reading Dr. Yoro's book finally.

From tomorrow I will read a book by Higashino Keigo who passed away recently. I have never read his book before, but I liked his drama and movies. RIP.

It was fine.

Yesterday I got up very early, but today I could not get up early.

We will have a new staff from next week, therefore most of us moved to the new place, one by one. Today three of us moved to the next desk.

There was a video meeting with Swiss counterparts in the evening.

I canceled a restaurant I booked yesterday and booked the new one for this weekend's dinner meeting.

 It was fine.

It is my father's death anniversary.  It's been 11 years since he passed away.

Today I was also busy and overworked till 19:30 or so but came home earlier than usual.

Recently I have tried to make frozen fruit ice cream and eat them with milk. Tonight I ate frozen watermelon I made yesterday and ate it with milk. I had tried melon and kiwi before, but this was the best for now. I used the half of small watermelon, took out the center and put it in the freezer yesterday, and I put milk in the center and let it be while I was eating supper and ate as dessert by mixing.  It was very delicious.

I am glad to receive a very nice email from my book lover.
