本日の英語： なし
大晦日の夜から元旦にかけて、毎年必ず近所の寺に詣でる。
家族での行事なのだが、父が死に、母が弱り、
今年はとうとう１人になってしまった。
やめようかとも思ったが、１人だとどのくらい寂しいか
一度やってみようと思い、行ってみたら・・・
寂しくもなんともなかった。
例年の通りお参りし、茶店でうどんを食べ、
どんど焼きにあたり、回転焼きを買って帰った。
こんな寂しそうなことが寂しくない自分が若干心配になったが、
まあ、とりあえずいいか？
Every year at a little before 0:00 on Dec 31,
I go to the nearby temple to welcome new year.
This has been a family thing since I was born, but my father died,
and my mother has become too weak to continue.
So, this year, for the first time, it was only me.
I almost decided not to go, but then I got curious about
how lonely I might feel if I do this alone, and I went, and...
oh, my god, I was totally OK with it.
I made a prayer as usual, ate udon noodles,
warmed myself at the bonfire, and bought some kaiten-yakis.
-All like every year.
I am a bit worried about myself who doesn't feel lonely doing
something that looks this lonely, but I guess it's all right??
というわけで、どんど焼き：
So, here goes the bonfire:
あったかい～と思う間もなく、熱い～
You have almost no time to enjoy its warmth before
it gets too hot.
午前４時でも燦然と輝くお寺の遠景：
Distant view of the temple at 4:00 a.m.. It doesn't sleep.
儲かりまっしゃろな～
Helluva profit, right?
ふりふりポテト・マヨ醤油味が無性に食べたくなり、
２日も詣でてしまった筆者だった：
I went there again on the next day for shake'n'eat french fries with
mayonnaise-soy sauce powder. De-e-e-licious!
本堂 The main hall
４日は昼間中吹雪：
On the 4th, we had a snow storm in our area, which continued all day:
夜に実家の庭の水道が凍らないように水を出しに行ったら
もう凍っていて、お湯をかけて溶かした。
しばらくは毎晩栓を開けねばならない。
I went to my parents' garden to open the tap to prevent it from freezing,
but it was already frozen. I had to pour boiling water on it.
The outside tap has to be opened every night for the rest of the winter.
５日の夕焼け：
Sunset on the 5th:
