I worked all day today in my room, so I did not have enough time to play with Kurumi. I did get to spend a little time with Kurumi during lunch. He is always on the sofa. Today, too, he went back to the sofa immediately after playing with me. The time of a day seems very short.
I mowed the lawn for the last time this year. The temperature was cooler and the wind was blowing so I was able to work comfortably without sweating. The green color of this lawn is easy on my eyes. It is a small yard, but it is my pride and joy. When I looked up, the sky was a bright blue, and it was a sunny afternoon. Kurumi was sleeping under the covers this morning until we woke him up.
After a lot of activity at tennis school with my wife, I inevitably get sleepy on Saturday afternoons. I thought I would take a short nap, but ended up napping for an hour. Then I noticed that the temperature was dropping. Even the weather forecast said to watch out for temperature changes. It seems that there is a symptom called “temperature variation allergy”. Kurumi is also sleeping well because of the cooler temperature today.
It was another day with strong sunlight. I took Kurumi to a place where the sun shaded the living room, because I thought it was hot and not good for his eyes. The temperature in the room rose so high during the day that I wanted to turn on the air conditioner. Kochia is turning red. The contrast with the blue sky was beautiful. The sun was setting early. It started to get dark at 5 p.m. and I hurried home.
It was hot again today during the day. When the sun went down a little, we took Kurumi for a walk in the park. Kurumi walked a lot, but we didn’t want him to get too tired, so we used a cart for half of the way. Even so, by the time we got home, Kurumi was so tired that he fell asleep in the cart. This warm weather is likely to continue into next week.
It was Kurumi’s day to have his hair cut. When we went to pick him up, we asked the trimmer how he was doing today. Today, too, Kurumi seems to have trouble getting his facial hair cut. He panics when the scissors get too close to his face. Even so, the trimmer managed to finish trimming Kurumi’s hair. The shopping center was beautifully decorated for Halloween at the end of this month.
On my walk this morning, I was able to enjoy a very nice fragrance from a large gold osmanthus tree. The fragrance of the tree is very strong in the morning. Every time I smell it, I am reminded of my friend in the U.S. Eleanor also likes this scent. I haven’t seen her for a long time, but I hope she is doing well. Kurumi is doing well today. He is sleeping in because he is unable to get out of his warm bed due to the cool morning temperatures.
Yesterday’s cold weather surprised me and I prepared a gas heater. Then today the temperature started warming up again, and today is a very warm day. It looks like this weather will continue until the weekend. Kurumi was also happy with the warmth of the sun and was enjoying the sunshine from the window in the morning. However, snow is forecasted to begin tonight in the northern part of Japan, and winter is definitely approaching.
新聞を読んでいて、生成 AI の記事が目に止まりました。将来、人間が行なっている仕事を生成 AI が行うだろうという内容です。そして、職業によってその割合を予想しているのですが、その予想にも生成 AI が使われていることに可笑しさを覚えました。実は私もこのブログの英訳に使っています。Google 翻訳、Chat GPT、そして今は DeepL で英訳し、読み返しながら投稿しています。自分が最初から訳すよりも早く、そして新しい言葉を使えるので便利です。最後は人間が完成させる、そんな使い方で良いのかも知れません。今日は妻が外出していたので、クルミくんと一緒に家で過ごしていました。
While reading the newspaper, an interesting article on generative AI, I read. The article said that in the future, AI will be used to do the jobs that humans are doing. I found it funny that the article also used generative AI to predict the percentage of jobs that will be done by AI in the future. I actually use it (AI) to translate this blog into English using Google Translate, Chat GPT, and now DeepL, and read it back for editi then I post. It’s faster than translating from scratch myself, and it’s convenient because I can use new words. It may be good to use it in such a way that a human being completes it in the end. My wife was out of town today, so I was at home with Kurumi.
On weekends, I should prepare for my English classe on Tuesday. However, I was getting tired and sleepy from the tennis school held in this morning. So I decided to go outside and enjoy the fresh air with Kurumi for the purpose of waking up from sleepiness. The weather is going worse. Tomorrow is forecast to be a cold and rainy day. So I will study English tomorrow and spend today just relax that I decided as a lazy person.
