A happy day

This Tuesday, my son and I went to Kumamoto to see my mother for the first time since the beginning of this year.

Because it was very hot day,  we were afraid that our temperature would be over 37 degrees.

We chatted it would be a bad joke that we couldn't see my mother after going to Kumamoto from Hiroshima all the way.

When we got the nursery home, a familiar staff welcomed us at the entrance and measured our body temperature with non-contact themometers.

Two themometers read just 37 degrees.

All of us were so upset that we called "no way!".

What we wanted not to happen happened!

The female staff brought the contact type thermometers in a hurry and we tried to measure again. It went well. 

Perhaps, the temperature of the surface of our body raised due to the strong sunlight.

I must keep in my mind to cool my body down before to measure the temperature in summer.

Anyway, we could see my mother and enjoy chatting for a while.

Challenges I did in the period of Stay Home.

Since the first covid-19 infected person was found in Hiroshima, I had kept being stay home spontaneously.

It was almost for 3 months.

In that period, I experienced two new challenges using internet service.

One of them was a ballet online lesson.

Before I had those lessons, I thought it easier than the lesson in the studio.

In the studio, our teacher usually rectifies our movements. I thought that she couldn't do in the web lesson as much as in the studio.

However I was wrong. She could do perfectly.

She gave us so many clear instructions that I could keep the feeling of tension during the web lesson.

And furthermore, I took a video to see how I performed in the lesson.

The video was  too terrible to look at. 

I could understand what my teacher meaned in her advice. 

I found it very important to see myself objectively.

And another challeng was to use mobile apps for English learnig.

The app checks my spoken English and points out a lot of mistakes I do.

It gets me down,　but thanks to it, I can know it's important to cherish every word when I speak English. 

For the first time since May 9th.

We, the 3 members of Kimono de Oyama club are going to start to learn English every Saturday evening.

We choose only two items for today's agenda.

One of them is a speech and the other is vocabulary.

We are preparing for the next web forum.
