My henchman who was a junior school boy when I was a pole vaulter and a college student in Matsuyama. He is suffering pancreas cancer and asked me to come there, not after new year first 3 days. And did preparations for it, mainly.

In the morning, doing my daily routine, enjoyed millet dumpling which was my favorite meal in Okayama. That was this. Great!

And went to the downtown by bicycle for the preparations.

Parked it at a parking place and walked thorough shopping arcades heading for Mitsukoshi department store.

At the department, bought a small gift form him. The department was very crowded for it was year end.

The gift was this, around 1,500 yen only. Because he couldn't eat any big meal anymore, supposed.

Went back home and had a lunch which was a bowl of instant ramen. Oh, poor! But, should realize to eat-able ramen was happy and healthy enough.

After them all, enjoyed an hour motorcycling by Hunter Cub, for it was sunny and warm, good for motorcycling. And did it thinking of my henchman sickness.
Went back home and rest my fishing gears and lubed to a fishing reel.

As this way, times goes by. That's the way, it was Dec. 30 2023.
