It was fine.

Before going to the office I went to post office to do many things. One of them is to exchange the new year's cards  to stamps. I printed the message to address side by mistake, and I made new year's card to those who had unhappy event and realized before sending. Since there was an announcement of lucky numbers yesterday, I checked all the new year's cards. This year I got only one stamp sheet. To exchange the missed cards, they could subtruct the handling charge, and I got stamps without paying anything.

There was a new year's luncheon of our office at a Spanish restaurant. There were three choices for main dish and I chose rice paella. There were two choices for side dish, and I chose soup of chickpea and uncured ham. I chose chocolate cake and tea for dessert.
I expected paella with pan, but it was not. So it looked like just  fried rice. I felt looks is very important.

After work I visited Fuji Film Square, and went to a seminar about a dream map in Yokohama because I had an invitation ticket. I could not be in time by the unexpected event, but I am glad to have attended.

It was fine but very cold.
However where there reached  the sun shine it was very warm.

In the morning on the train I enjoyed watching the web program of Mr. Ken Honda which I missed the other day. The theme is "You can choose your future 2017."
The points to escalate one's level are 1 to set the clear Rendezvous points 2 to keep the energy which excites you 3 to act by instinct.
If you waver which way to take, it is better to choose what looks disadvantage.
When you do volunteer, it will bring you a great chance to meet unexpected people.
I felt it is true.

It was fine mostly but partially snowed. It became another cold day.

I was supposed to attend the first tea ceremony (hatsugama: 初釜), however my male master got sick a few days ago, and it was canceled unfortunately.

January 15 is known as old New Year's Day. About 20 selected young girls aged from 5 to 12 in Misaki (三崎) area celebrate by dancing called Chakkirako (チャッキラコ). This dance was designated as UNESCO's intangible cultural heritage in September 2009.
January 15 was used be a national holiday called Seijin no hi(成人の日), Coming of Age Day, but it became the second Monday of January. Therefore these days it has been hard to see the performance. However today is Sunday, so I went to see this traditional event at the Kainan jinja (海南神社) shrine. I went there earlier so I could sit and watch them. They performed 6 dances at 6 places. There were two performances at the shrine.

Misaki is famous for tuna, so I ate tuna lunch and bought some tuna.

I went back to the shrine again and happened to see some friends. I bought a plant.

I went home once to plant, and went out shopping again.

Today is my dead father's 82nd birthday. On my way back from Misaki, I went to my parents' graveyard.
