Today I am going to go to a  grass store to change my grasses for my PC .

Yesterday one boy dropped by at my home library. It is the second time for him to come here. His friend came to get him, and he started playing outside. Talking with him was fun.

In the evening I walked around my house. Coincidentally I met a friend. It was the first time for us to see her in several years. Both of us were walking. Of course we started chatting. Probably chatting time was longer than walking time. It was fun.

Yesterday we visited three clothe’s shop. He could get two summer shirts. I didn’t buy anything new!

As soon as we got home, it rained cats and dogs. I was going to go doing one circuit exercise, a gave up. 

Instead of it, I do light exercise for my hip joints. 

It is drizzling, it is exactly a weather of the wet season.

I am making candied rhubarb. Today it is the third day, and final day. I take out the melted sugar fluid , boil it and pour it on the rhubarb twice a day.

A new week has started. Yesterday we checked our summer clothes . Mine is all right, I could put away one dress. Yuki said “it is too small”. So he is going to discard four clothes in the afternoon. It means we are going to go out for looking four his new clothes: summer shirts.

Yesterday I talked with a friend on the phone. She is older than I, but she still manages her English school. 

She lives in the next prefecture, it is too far to visit her easily. 

It is all right. If she lived within one hour distance I would often visit her to complain. Well, if I could, she must be too busy to listen to me.

After having dinner I took a walk for 15 minutes. I was surprised that how many people were walking. Though it is the wet season, it is really humid and hot. 

According to the weather forecast, this week we have rain, though it is cloudy and humid today.

It’s 7 AM. I’ll leave home in one and a half hours. Why? From this month sutra copying meeting begins at 9 o’clock.

Actually for me having low blood pressure it is a little bit difficult to do morning training. Though it is said the elderly are morning people, I am not.

Addition I am not a night person.

Yesterday a friend presented me a bunch of rhubarb. In the afternoon I am going to make candied rhubarb. It doesn’t use fire, though I have to disinfect a jar in hot boiling water.

Let’s enjoy Sunday!

Yesterday  the laughter yoga meeting was fun. I am in my 60’s. Another one is in her 70’s. And the others are in their 80’s. At first we talk our complaints —— all of them “my …….s hurt!” All of them go to an orthopedic clinic as a usual thing. Well I know I myself am strange why I am included.

Then to rewrite negative things into positive things, we talk what was good, what made us happy, what we appreciated in this month.

Two each women  say “I could visit my friend.” Their friends live in the same city but it is far to go  on foot. Going there by bus is troublesome. They have to walk to the bus stop. They have to change the bus. The bus comes once an hour.  Going there by taxi is, they say, “Too expensive”. 

This time each of them found a person who took them by car. One is her friend’s friend’s husband. 

The other is her friend’s nephew.

Then we played cards, and did yoga breathing.

Yesterday Yuki could play golf. He was so exhausted that he went to bed earlier than usual. Though he doesn’t have much energy as he used to, he still enjoy sports. It is a good thing. 

I went to an eye clicking in the morning. It was really crowded. I was sitting for long hours. In the evening I did one circuit exercise at the gym, but my back hurt at night. I put a patch on my back. 

I don’t know which gave my back damage, sitting for long hours or just light 10 minute exercise (most of time I was stomping lightly on the walking board skipping half of machines ).

Today I hold a laughter yoga meeting. In the evening we go to a dental clinic.

Yuki has already left. Why? To play golf. Probably it is the first time for him to play golf  this year. He seems to go through his side effect tunnel. It was longer this time. 

“Thankfully” yesterday I was presented seasonal vegetables : summer bamboo and Japanese pepper berries. To tell the truth these days hot and humid days continue, so I didn’t want to cook. Actually I bought delicatessen for our dinner. 

But I couldn’t waste it. And I know it is very important to cook as fast as we possible when we dig or pick them. 

I cooked.
