340 letters

I wrote 340 letters on this blog in this year. I want to write more than 365 letters in new year.

Old friends

I'll drink today with my friends who I played when I was junior high school student. We hold the event in every year end.
We have to gather at 12:30. If the high way is busy, I'll be late. I hope there is no traffic jam.

Holiday

I finished last job in this year yesterday. I have to return home in Okayama tomorrow. Traffic jam will happen on high way. It's hard job for me.

Left knee

I always walk to primary school at the top of slope in the morning. And I run at down slope when I return to home. I always walk and run about 30 minutes almost every morning.

I felt left knee ache when I ran at down slope in this morning. So, I stopped running and start to walk. My left knee is weak. I always feel left knee ache when I walk long distance. I felt left knee ache at the last day of climbing North Alps in this summer, too. I may have to check about it carefully in the hospital if I want to continue to climb.

Ski wear

I bought a ski wear despite I don't play ski. Ski wear can cut wind and resist rain. So, I thought that it's suitable for bike wear. I bought it for 1,600 yen at used wear shop. It was a nice shopping.

Mt. Hinourayama

I climbed Mt. Hinourayama with my son.
As it was cold, I cared my son not to have a cold. If he feel too hot, he'll have many perspiration. And it make his clothes wet, and he'll have a cold. So, I sometimes asked him whether he felt hot or cold.
By the way, we could see a nice landscape in snowy wind.

Complain

I want to climb Mt. Ege today. But, my family may complain, because it is Christmas today. I may have to devote my important holiday to them.

Birthday

Today is my son's 8th birthday. The day is Christmas eve. So, my wife and I have been giving only one gift for birthday and Christmas. We afraid that he get wise about our lie.
When he get wise, what action will he do ? He may demand 8 gifts.

Saturday

I came to my office in this morning despite Saturday. It always empty on the road every Saturday morning. But, it was busy today. As it is end of year, everyone may be busy.

Rain

I went out to climb after lunch today. But, as soon as I leave my home, it started rain. So, I returned to my home. About 15 minutes later, it stopped to rain. I felt regret for my conduct.
Later, I could see the mountain in snow from my home. If I continued to climb, I might be able to walk in the snow in forest.

Hail

When I was working outside in Hongo, hail fell. It was very cold.

Traffic jam

I met a hard traffic jam on high way in this morning. It was needed about 2 hours that I pass through from interchange Higashi-Hiroshima to Shiwa. I saw a truck clashed to wall in tunnel. I was very tired.

Later, I heard the traffic jam was continued until 3 o'clock. Many cars were influenced by it. How much money was wasted by the accident ?

Resist cold

In these days, my colleague says that it' very cold. But, I don't feel very cold. Walking in the morning and riding bike in cold wind may make my body tough.

Messy

I have to go to Mihara as a business trip yesterday. It's messy.

In the cold wind

I'm continuing walking in the morning despite I'm feckless. It is very cold. Running in the cold wind will make my body tough.
But, I don't want to do anything except walking. I want to stay in bed all day long.

Confused heart

In these days, I can't enjoy my job. It's not interesting in some months. But, it's busy.
I can't enjoy playing. I don't climb mountain for a while. And, I didn't want to climb yesterday despite I had enough time.
I want to cry out.
I want to go anywhere else.
At such situation, all I can do is bearing and waiting.

Have a break

I was busy in this 3weeks. In last weekend, I went to Osaka. In the weekend before last weekend, my father came to my house.
By contrast, there is nothing which I have to do today. I'll stay in my house, and have a break.

0 ℃

Temperature gauge on the road indicated the temperature 0 ℃ in this morning. Cold season has come.
When I stopped in front of traffic signal, I always take may hands on muffler in order to warm by the heat. It was very comfortable. But, surface of gloves are damaged little by little.

First snow

It was first snow today in this winter.
I drove to top of Mt. Gongen which was there near the construction site with my colleague at lunch time.
I tried to photo the snow in the air. But, it was impossible by my mobile phone's camera.
Snow in the woods are very beautiful. I want to climb snow mountain in this winter.

Motivation

My motivation is rising up now. Forcing me to jogging in the day before yesterday was good signal. I'm jogging three continuous days. And I started to study again about qualification of electricity in this morning. I acknowledge that the human soul have a deep correlation with physical body.

Another blog

I have to write another blog.
A community which I join started the new blog. In order to promote the blog, I often have to write comments. Now, for me, it is a hard job. But, I have to continue it, too.

Running

I forced me to run outside in this morning. And, I felt nice after running.
When I am apathy, it may be good that I force myself to do something.
I hope it to be trigger to do everything with energy.

Apathy

I don't want to do something from yesterday. I always study and walk after getting up. But, I don't do it from yesterday.
I sometimes be such a condition. Struggling to avoid from such a condition is difficult. All I can do is waiting.

Even after death

Many old tombs were there in the narrow space at end of memorial park. If relatives of death don't continue to pay money to the temple, tombs were treated as if they are dust.
When I see such a situation, I always think that the religion is a payable business. As I recall, we paid much money to monk at the mother's memorial ceremony.
A nice proverb goes "Money make us happy even after death".

Family emblem

This is my family emblem. It is constructed by two leaves. It is printed on my mother's tomb.

Abandan

A member who came from Shiga Pref. told me that it had been snow at Mt.Ibuki. So, I abandoned to climb it.
I returned to Okayama last night. And I'm writing this letter in my family home.

Meeting

After the tour, we talked about mechanical engineering, writing mechanical book and running about the society. I could spend in fulfilling time.
Talking with guy who have same object or same hobby is pleasure.

Gas power plant

I went to Osaka yesterday to meet professional engineers who join same group with me.
One of the member works in Osaka gas co., ltd. And, he held the tour of inspection of gas power plant. They make electricity by driving the gas turbine.
The gas turbine is made by general electric co., ltd in USA. When we approach it, the turbine was disassembled and overhauled by luck. So, we could see the inside of it. It was my first experience. What a large and accurate machine the gas turbine is ! I was moved as a mechanical engineer.

Local train

I'll go to Okayama by local train after work.
When I go to Osaka, I always use my old home as a relay point. I'll go to Osaka tomorrow morning by local train, too.
I think Shinkansen bullet train is too expensive. But moving by local train is hard job.

New backpack

I bought new backpack last evening. The capacity is 32 litter.
I had only large climbing backpack and small city backpack.. So, I wanted the middle size one.
I think that most important point for backpack's selection is a breathability. Because, if I shoulder the bad backpack, I'll feel clammy and may have a cold when I have perspiration on back. I selected this backpack because it have a large air through equipment.
I'll go to climb Mt. Ibuki with this backpack in this weekend. But, weather report says that it will be rain.

Bitter finish

I drunk wine in last evening. It is made in Spain. It was with a bitter finish, despite it was written to mild in the shop.
It was cheap, but it was tasty. I'll drink it in this dinner, too.

500th Anniversary

This is the 500th letter on this blog.
I start this blog in order to make my English expression to be better. I don't know whether it to be better now or not. But, continuing to write diary is interesting more than I had imagined. If I wrote this blog in Japanese, it must be finished as soon as I started.

Osaka

I'll go to Osaka in this weekend in order to meet to members of professional engineer's group. The meeting will be held on Saturday. So, I'll go to climb Mt. Ibuki in Shiga pref. on Sunday.
Mt. Ibuki is one of the 100 most famous mountain in Japan.

Mt. Takao

I climbed Mt. Takao with my father, daughter and son in this morning. The mountain is there between Yano and Saka. My father is 71 years old. But, he could walk fast in the mountain, as he is training every day.
We could see beautiful islands in Seto inland sea.

Gama

I found a strange plant which is said Gama. The berry which looks like sausage is called "Gama-no-ho". I like to see this berry from when I was child.
There is a Japanese mythology which treat about this berry. The mythology says that following story.
A pitiful rabbit wept at seaside, because he was stripped his skin by shark. A tender god ravel out the berry and make soft cotton. And, he roll up the rabbit by the cotton.
I can't understand the deep meaning about this mythology. But, it stood out in my memory.

Autumn leaves

I saw beautiful autumn leaves near the construction site.
That beautiful red couldn't be shown on the picture which was photoed by mobile phone. But, I like to photo by mobile phone because of the easiness.

Country view

I saw a nice country view near construction site. I like landscape which contain the old traditional house and rice field.

Kannnon

When I was going to construction site, I got lost. At the end of road, a big statue of the goddess of Kannon welcomed me. It was a new memorial park.

Airport

I worked at plant near the airport. I often hear a lot of noise. I could see the plane.

Cure

As I was cured of cold, I will go to climb in this weekend.
I had a cold in a week last Thursday. I went to bed early every night this week. For curing, keeping quiet is most important.
