It was fine in the morning but windy in the afternoon and rained.

Today is toji (冬至), one of 24 sekki (二十四節気), 24 solar terms. Last one was taisetsu (大雪) on December 7 and the next one is shokan (小寒) on January 5.

Toji literally means winter reach.  It is the day when daytime is the shortest and the night is the longest.

They say it is the start of the new year.

After that I went grocery shopping.

After eating supper I attended two zoom events.
