2026.10.9

 It was fine.

I walked to the station because there was a farewell party for my colleague who entered at the same time as myself.

There were many things to deal with today.  First, I had to attend an emergency online meeting for two hours and a half. There was another meeting in the afternoon, but when I went there it was already finished.

One of the colleagues who left at the end of last month came to visit the colleague to say goodbye. 

So, five of us went to the farewell party. The restaurant was recently open, and the name plate was still old one and we could not find the place.  Though I chose there because of private room, the next room was too noisy.

We went to the second party, but I left earlier for the last train.

Since I had to wait for the taxi, I came home after midnight.

2026.10.8

 It was fine.

It is Kanro (寒露), one of nijushisekki (二十四節気) 24 solar terms.  The last one was Shubun (秋分) on September 23, and the next one is soko(霜降) on October 23. Kanro literally means cold dew.

There were two meetings at office.

We got Japanese sweets which was very delicious.

I planned the schedule of Saturday.

2026.10.7

 It was fine.

I decided to pick up the registered mail at the post office before going to work. I visited some banks too.

On my way to the office, I also visited the Tokyo Regional Immigration Bureau to check the status of applied COE.

I left the office one hour earlier than usual to go to see a concert "Pianomen 2026" at SCG Hall Ariake where I went to for the first time.  There were four pianists playing for 30 minutes each with guests.  I did not know most of them. But I liked their performance, especially improvised medley.  I envy those who can play instruments. I wish I could play any instruments too!

I went there with my friend from the Ability Garden where we learned much business knowledges 23 years ago.

After the concert at the station, I met my friend who invited me to this concert.
