coronaviruses and us -2-

I know that anyway it is really difficult to get toilet paper now, but----
This Monday we went to Tokyo to visit our mothers by car. We dropped by a convenience store, there we saw a sign. "To costumers,  you can use the toilet, but there is no toilet paper. So you can use only "Washlet" (bidet? or electric toilet) with your own tissues". (Of course we must not flush the tissues into the toilet, we put them into a garbage can as burnable garbage, it is like Thai toilet.)
My mother was really surprised and she finally understood the situation.
Since Monday most of schools have been closed.  
We also had lunch at a ('family) restaurant, it was very crowded with family including (probably) grandmothers.
--- Schools are closed to avoid the crowd.
However I really understand the reason why such a family restaurant is crowded.
It was the first day for schools to be closed. Some parents must took a day-off. And for them it is a lucky holiday. Or they aske their parents to care for their children.
We also went to a supermarket.
To be surprised many items which are kids' favorite were sold out such as not spicy retort curry, not spicy cup noodles. So unfortunately mother were not able to get her favorite, because her favorite is as same as children's.

Hinamatsuri day was finished. So I put away my Hina dolls.
I put some Easter goods on the shelf.
