The days without sunshine continued to today. The rain from the morning continued until the night. According to the forecast, it will be fine from tomorrow afternoon. Kurumi also seems to be looking forward to a sunny day. When I got home, Kurumi greeted me with that feeling. It was a short time, but I was able to play with him using toys.
It is also a rainy day from the morning today. The Pacific High and the Okhotsk High are in conflict, and the front that occurred between them is stagnant in the Japanese archipelago. This shape is the same as during the rainy season before summer, so it is called the rainy season (Bai-u) front. Japan has returned to the rainy season after hot days. It became light rained, so I walked a short distance. A dragonfly is perched on an olive tree in the garden. I couldn’t tell whether it was a sympetrum darwin or a sympetrum frequens, but the weather is like this, so the dragonfly may be confused. I had time to play with Kurumi today as well. It’s raining, but it helps to be cool. Kurumi was also taking a nap comfortably.
In the afternoon, I went to the bakery with an umbrella in raining. There is a counter here where I can have bread and coffee in the shop. Books on the theme of coffee are lined up at the counter as well. I also brew coffee by grinding it from beans every morning, and I have learned to brew coffee deliciously. Today, I was able to acquire new knowledge from the book I read here. I’ll try it tomorrow morning. Kurumi is playing with toys today. He was barking asking me to pick up a toy that he couldn’t get.
Japan is now hit by a visible disaster that heavy rain and an invisible disaster which coronavirus. It will continue to rain for the next few days. Disasters such as landslides have already occurred in the Kyushu region. The coronavirus has become “out of control” in Tokyo, according to a newspaper this morning. It is a disaster countermeasure that protects one’s-self. It may be a little inconvenient to go shopping in the future. I decided to buy food for Kurumi. It was a rainy day from the morning, and it was cooler, so Kurumi was relaxing day on the sofa.
I don’t know the number of cicada types, but as I take a walk, I notice that the cicada’s bark has changed. Until now, it was a brown cicada and a hyalessa maculaticus, but this morning the bark of evening cicada was more stronger. And I often see cicadas lying on the road. Cicadas have a short life on ground. I move the lying cicadas to the side of the road, but sometimes I am surprised that some cicadas pop out with barks. I had a lot of time with Kurumi. Kurumi fall asleep next to me when he get tired of playing with toys is cute.
今日は昨日よりも気温が低く、風があったので助かりました。明日からはしばらく雨が続くようです。雨が降る前に芝を刈ることにしました。芝刈り機を使って 15 mm 程度に刈っていきます。芝刈り機が届かないところは手作業でバリカンを入れていきます。狭い庭なのですが、全て終えるには 2 時間かかりました。刈られた直後の芝は気持ちが良いのかクルミはヒョコヒョコと歩いていました。久しぶりに庭に出ることができてクルミも満足したようです。
It was cooler today than yesterday and it was windy so much better than yesterday. It seems that it will continue to rain for a while from tomorrow. I decided to mow the lawn before it rained. Use a lawn mower to mow to about 15 mm long. The space lawn mower does not reach, I use the clippers manually. It’s not a wide garden, but it took me two hours to finish it all. Did the grass feel good right after it was cut? Kurumi was walking around. It seems that the Kurumi was satisfied with being able to go out to the garden.
I was awakened by Kurumi barked this morning. It was still 5 o’clock, but I decided to get up with Kurumi. Today, after the typhoon had passed, it was forecast that the foehn phenomenon would occur and the heat would be extremely hot. When I was trying to walk a little, the temperature was already high even though it was 5 o’clock. The morning sun was seen over the clouds in the eastern sky, and the rainbow was seen in the western sky. I used to work from home, but when I noticed, the temperature inside the room was as high as 34 ° C. It is comfortable to be in an air-conditioned room with Kurumi. It’s still hot tomorrow, and it’s a pity that Kurumi can’t play in the garden as expected due to the rain and heat these days.
I am spending longer time at home and I’m worried about the sounds inside the house. I’m careful, but the door closes with a bang by the wind. I’m handling it gently, but the cabinet closes with a rattling noise. When I squeezed the water tap, I was worried about the squeaking noise and worked out before. I also tried out for doors and cabinets. The closer attached to the door can be easily retrofitted, but it was bit disappointed because need bit force when opening and the closing speed were a little slow. However I am happy with those results.
It was a day with occasional strong winds from typhoons. It’s raining and there’s a state of emergency, so I have no choice but to spend today at home. In the afternoon when it became a little calm wind, I tried walking for short distance. The flowers that bloom on the crape myrtle tree are beautiful. Clouds in the sky are flowing at a high speed. Kurumi was boring today.
The Tokyo Olympics will end today. The closing ceremony is being held now. I am glad that we were able to hold the event in the midst of the corona situation. People from many countries gathered and impressed me a lot. I still remember the excitement when I saw the last Tokyo Olympics. I’m sure many children will remember this Tokyo 2020 Olympics. I was able to go out to the garden with Kurumi the afternoon after the typhoon left today.
