It was fine.

March 3 is hina matsuri (ひな祭り), Dolls' Festival or Girls' Festival.

Families with daughters decorate the dolls with traditional kimono costume and peach flowers and wish their healthy growth. Those dolls are called hinaningyo(雛人形). 

On this day we eat chirashizushi (ちらし寿司), clear soup of clam, and rice crackers called hina arare (ひなあられ),  and drink shirozake (白酒).

March 3 is also the day of ears because of its shape.

Today was the last day of the free promotion of my 19th ebook. To my glad it became No.1 in 5 sections in Japan, two sections in the USA, one section in Germany, and two sections in Spain.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I attended a zoom meeting at night and enjoyed.

It was very cold today.

March 3 is known as hina matsuri (雛祭り) or momo no sekku (桃の節句), that is doll's or girls festival. The family with daughters decorate the dolls called hinaningyo (雛人形).  I decorated the small one of the couple.  Male is called odairi sama (お内裏様) and female is called ohina sama (お雛様).  Sama is suffix of respect.
On this day there are special foods, drink and sweets.  I cooked chirashizushi (ちらし寿司: scattered sushi) and hamaguri no osuimono (ハマグリのお吸い物: clear clam soup with field mustard) for dinner.

At night I went to small ball exercise.  It is just one hour practice but I sweated a lot.
