あれもこれもと考えだすとだんだん沈んでゆく。
みなさんはこの、パンデミックがなかなか終わらない日々をいかがお過ごしでしょうか。
私は、悶々とした日々を送っております。
仕事はこのまま続けられるのか、勤務不可能、ビジネス不可能になりはしないだろうか。いずれにせよ、働き方は変えておいた方がいいのではなかろうか。どの道、リモートで全てこなせるような仕事にシフトしなくちゃいけなくなる日が来るのなら、今の内に、準備を始めた方が良いのではないか。やりたい翻訳の仕事を始める準備を始めようかしら。日本語力も英語力も一生懸命勉強しても時間はかかるもの、始めることに躊躇している場合ではないのだ。汗、汗、さあ、何をする、汗、汗。
とまあ、こんな感じです。目標を定めて腹をくくらないと。。
私の旦那は、とても誠実で真面目です。少し、神経質すぎると思うところもありますが、それは外国人という理由で周りの人から疑惑の目で見られている、といつも感じながら生活しているからなのです。
数週間前、車のフロントガラスに貼られている丸いシールの月が過ぎていることに気がついた旦那。車検までまだ先なのになぜ期限が過ぎちゃっているのか、このままでは、ポリスに不信感を与えるかもしれないという理由で、点検に出すことにしました。
点検に出すまでは、気持ち悪いので君の車を使わないかと提案もあったが、私の車の丸いシールも思いっきり期限を過ぎていた、しかも、旦那のより期限は早かった。
仕方なく、これまで通り車を使用し先週末に旦那の車、今週末に私の車と2週続けて点検（1年点検と呼ばれていた）を済ませました。これで、小さな心配事が一つ消えました。
点検に出してよかったこと、車検の時にかかるであろう追加費用の見積もりをいただきました。大出費の覚悟。現実的な心配事が増えました。
My last holiday was an eight-day trip with my husband to cross across Hokkaido by car. It was our first vacation since moving to Hokkaido from our home town Hiroshima last summer.
Because of this COVID-19 bullshit, we decided to drive yourself ourselfes instead of using public transportation services transport. Honestly we wanted to go somewhere hot like Thailand but it didn't allow us to we couldn't go due to COVID-19.
Instead of spending the whole vacation days by the beaches we had some nature experiences on this Hokkaido island. Our vacation starts started from 2020-08-29.
Starting from our new home town in Kutchan drive we drove to Sapporo city and stayed for one night. then Then the next morning head we headed to East and took five hours to get to the next destination, Lake Kussharo. On the way we saw a lot of animal farmers farms with cows, horses and sometimes sheeps. We love to meet animals so we stopped our car to say hello to them sometimes.
Hokkaido has a lot of active volcanoes you can visit. At Mt.Io in Desikaga town, there are is steam and hot springs coming out from the rocks, there are the huge yellow rocks made by of sulfur and it's stinky of course. You can also climb an active volcano. Right after we arrived in Shiretoko Peninsula we started to climb Mt.Rausu. Since we knew many bears have been witnessed in Shiretoko, we bought a can of bear spray just in case and carried it with some we wore bear bells as well. We love animals but we don't want to be face to face with wild animals. It was a little hard and we had to give up reaching the top because it was getting dark. soon But we had some superb views halfway to the top.
Local restaurants, We usually try them during our vacation local restaurants when we travel. It is a good opportunity to taste real local food. Hokkaido is known as for good seafood. The Izakayas we went to in Shiretoko and Furano We were totally satisfied with our stomach the izakayas in Shiretoko and Frano. Fresh seafood with friendly service, we couldn't resist to order oredering one after another and spend spent a little bit too much money as usual. There was The a cafe restaurant at the Kawayu-Onsen station, this it was a cute little space with antique furniture. We had lunch there. We liked their atmosphere so much and the food was good as well.
Our drive-travel road trip in Hokkaido went very well. Thank you to my husband for all safety the safe long drives. for More than 1100 Km altogether! While driving we enjoyed various beautiful sceneries vistas with different mountains and rivers, and also we could see some wild animals such as foxes and deers. We also saw bears were hunting fish. There was no pina colada but it was one of the fantastic vacations we had.
