Crescent moon in the daytime. Radish moon. 昼間の三日月。大根の月。 I couldn’t see any clouds in the sky today. 今日は空に雲は全く見えなかった。

Even though there were so many clouds around noon, お昼頃はこんなに雲があったのに、 It looks like this in the evening. 夕方にはこんな感じ。 I can see a crescent moon where diagonally above the clouds. 雲より、斜め上には三日月も見える。 I don’t like summer. 夏は嫌いだ。 It’s too hot. 暑過ぎ。 I don’t like winter too. 冬も嫌い。 It’s too cold. 寒過ぎ。 I hate this and I hate …

We are living on the third floor of an apartment. There is no elevator. ダン蔵 hospitalized in 2016, and after seven months of hospitalization, he couldn’t walk at that time. So, I installed a chairlift on the stairs of my apartment. 家はアパートの三階です。エレベーターはありません。2016年にダン蔵が入院し、7ヶ月余りの入院生活で歩けなくなった時、アパートの階段にチェアリフトを付けました。 Now he can walk, but it is difficult to go up and down …

Today, the highest temperature was 90 degrees Fahrenheit. However, it seems that the air conditioners in the house are not working, and the inside of the house feels hotter than the outside.

There is thunder outside. It’s raining cats and dogs. But I don’t have an umbrella. 外で雷が鳴ってます。大雨です。なのに、わたしは傘が無い。 This is just before I thought about going back home from my studio. 今、仕事場で、そろそろ帰ろうかと、思った矢先にこれです。 Today is the day when ダン蔵’s physical therapist is coming at 6pm. 今日は6時にダン蔵のフィジカルセラピストが来る日なのに。 I have to give him dinner before she comes but, セラピストが来る前にダン蔵に夕食を提供しないといけないのに、 I …

It was annoying to see small flies flying in the cafe I always go to. But one day, the cafe mom happily said, the flies have gone! And She added proudly her comment that there is no customer yesterday, so she wiped all over the cafe with white vinegar. いつも行くカフェには小蝿が飛んでいてうっとおしかった。しかしある日、カフェのママが嬉しそうに言った、蝿がいなくなったでしょう!彼女は昨日、cafeがあんまりにも暇だったんで、ホワイトビネガーで店中を拭き掃除をしたそうなのだ。 So, since then, I’ve bought …
