2015.7.31

It was fine and hot.

Today is the last day of the first semester and the summer vacation for students starts tomorrow.

Today is the last day of July and this is the second full moon of this month tonight.
It happens once in three years or so.
This is called the blue moon.
Do you have any ritual on the day of the blue moon?

2015.7.30

It was a strange weather again. But fortunately I did not have to use the umbrella.

Yesterday there was a delivery in the daytime. Tonight I arranged to have it delivered on Saturday. However to my surprise it was delivered after 9 pm tonight.

2015.7.29

It was cloudy and hot.

I was so sick that I went to clinic in the morning though my appointment was tomorrow. The result of X-ray was improved. So the doctor gave me stronger medicines for cough and compress for the chest pain.

It is the end of the first semester and the time for many special students to go back home. One of them came to my office to greet. He gave me a piece of paper which includes 16 beautiful pictures he took during his stay in Japan. There were pictures of Hokkaido and Okinawa of skiing and diving, Mt. Fuji, waterfall of Nachi, Nara, sumo, women wearing yukata (浴衣), summer casual kimono, the rainbow bridge, night view of Tokyo and so on.
I knew he enjoyed his stay in Japan. This was a very nice gift.
