This morning, Kurumi slept soundly until we woke him up. The strange thing is that the dog wakes up properly as soon as he wakes up. Does he never sleepwalk? As soon as Kurumi woke up, he was moving around happily also.
I went with Kurumi to the nearby train station in the evening to pick up my wife after she returned from her trip. She had enjoyed a good time with her sister, looked somewhat happy. And Kurumi is also very happy. I was busy with work, so I didn’t have much time to play with Kurumi, so I’m sure he was frustrated. Daily life came back again.
Whenever it is time to write this article, I am always amazed at how fast time flies by. It is that time again today. It is time to reflect on what I have learnt and grown today. The wind and rain have been getting stronger in the evening. Tomorrow is the day my wife comes home, and I hope it will be sunny. Kurumi was doing well today.
Typhoon No. 1 has formed. Every time a typhoon occurs again this year, its path becomes a matter of concern. Although it is still some distance away, the weather is likely to worsen from tomorrow as the front is stimulated. The next few days will be worrying until the typhoon passes over. Today I spent the whole day working by Kurumi’s side. Kurumi sleeps in bed most of the time. Sometimes she wakes up, so I played with her. He is doing well today.
Time has started to spend just with Kurumi. My wife left early in the morning for a trip to the Kyushu region. Unfortunately, the weather seems to be going dow, but I’m sure she and her sister will enjoy their trip. Sometimes I want her to get away from the housework and enjoy a relaxing time. Today, I did not allow Kurumi to get up on the sofa. He can’t get up on the sofa, but he jumps off. It is taller than Kurumi, so I am worried that he might hurt his legs when he down.
The Juneberry berries have started to turn red again this year. Little birds are coming and pecking at them. I did the work myself to replace the artificial grass on the terrace. It had become black and mouldy, so this time I placed spacers to improve drainage. It was a three-hour job and I was exhausted. Kurumi is doing well today. My wife is going on a trip from tomorrow, so Kurumi and I will start our life together.
Kurumi woke up at 3am to go to the toilet and I had to take care of him, which woke me up. Kurumi wakes up to go to the toilet at different times depending on the day. So it was a day of lack of sleep. Today, I played with toys to tire him out so that he will sleep well until tomorrow morning. Now, will it work?
名優 N さんの訃報がテレビお報道番組で報じられました。81 歳での他界とか。このような知らせを知る度に自分のことを思ってしまいます。日本人男性の平均寿命は 81 歳と言われています。私も終焉を気にするようになってしまいます。そんな時、最近聞いた本では「終活」などに時間を使わずに生きている日々を精一杯楽しむことを薦めていた。そんなことを考えさせられた朝だった。クルミくんは昨日のトリミングで疲れたのか今朝も私たちが起こすまで眠っていました。
The TV news programme reported the death of the famous actor N. He passed away at the age of 81. Whenever I hear news like this, I think of myself. The average life expectancy of Japanese men is said to be 81 years. I also start to worry about my demise. At that time, I recently heard a book recommending that people should enjoy their living days to the fullest without spending time on ‘end-of-life’ activities. It was a morning that made me think about that. Kurumi was probably tired from yesterday’s trimming, but he slept again this morning until we woke him up.
Kurumi has been trimmed and refreshed. While trimmer trimmed Kurumi today, my wife was making sure that Kurumi did not move. He seems to get scared when the scissors get close to his face. When I returned home from work, I found that parts for the electric kettle had arrived. Now I can boil water without worry. The new parts have a safety design that prevents the kettle from running dry, which is a big help.
My electric kettle, which I purchased five years ago, has broken down, and I have been using it conveniently for dripping coffee and making green tea because I can set the temperature in 1 °C increments. Recently, the heater does not turn off when the temperature reaches the set temperature and continues to heat up even when the power switch is pressed. I reported this to the manufacturer as it is a heating appliance and they agreed to replace the part of the control unit free of charge. I will send this back to them for their investigation. Kurumi is doing well today. He is now sleeping until we wake him up in the morning.
