Today is a national holiday called Kempo kinenbi( 憲法記念日), Constitution Day.

It was fine and warm in the daytime but cool in the night.

I went to Shinjuku to attend a monthly meeting.  I met some friends there and had lunch together.

Then I went to Yokohama to buy a smart phone, a tablet, and a watch.  I was going to buy iPhone5 but the sales person recommended me other smart phone after listening to my wish list, and fortunately I got a tablet for nothing but just change a provider for Internet as a special offer.   How lucky I am! With these devices I can enjoy TV and movies on my commuting train from next week!  I got a nice watch for a reasonable price. All these are early birthday presents for myself.  Whoopee!

After that I went to Yokosuka to attend another monthly gathering and dinner.  There were 11 people today.  I was late because of the shopping above, but enjoyed eating and chatting for 3 hours or so.

November 3 is a national holiday called Bunka no hi (文化の日), Culture Day.   It fell on Sunday, so tomorrow will be transferred holiday.

It usually became fine but it was cloudy today.

I went to Yoga lesson after lunch.  It's been a while since I went to last time.  After that I have exercised for a few hours using training machines.

There I happened to see my student after a long time.  She said she became a mother of four children.  There was Children's event at the venue and she was there at the reception.  There was chorus of a very famous children's group Kamome gasshodan (カゴメ合唱団).  Their songs were used in the TV drama this year and their CDs were sold well.  I could listen to their live songs by chance.
