It’s very cold these days but the cold weather is not always bad as it is beneficial because those harmful creatures from the tropical area such as mosquitoes and bacterium can’t survive.
We should avoid going out suddenly from a warm room to cold place, which may cause stoke or heart attack.
きびしい寒さが続いています。暖かい室内から外出したり、外出して冷え切ったままで入浴したりは避けるようにしています。今までは人ごとのように感じていましたが身近な人も脳や心臓発作で亡くなっています。
でもきびしい寒さは最近の地球温暖化で北上してきた蚊や細菌など有害な生物を防いでくれます。

Yesterday I visited my two elder sisters. It is good that both of them are fine there. Moreover as I live and work in a town area, I’m refreshed with the rich nature of the suburban area where they live. And this time, I was happy to have met my first sister’s son that is my nephew there.
As I stopped driving, I need to take a train to get to the place through Umeda area. I enjoyed walking around there.
昨日は久しぶりに北摂に住んでいる2人の姉を訪問しました。2人とも元気そうでよかった。その場所は緑豊かな自然環境に恵まれたところなので市街地に住んでいる身にとってたまに行くと癒されます。 それに私の上の姉の息子である私の甥にも会えてよかった。
帰りに梅田の街を少し歩いて楽しみました。梅田は学生時代のバイトのなど懐かしい場所です。

Today I came to Matsubara early because last week I was later for the class here due to a train trouble.


Now I am at a restaurant and relaxed having a nice breakfast.

Matsubara is a place where I had lived since my high school days. My wife came here from Malaysia more than half a century ago. My two children were born and grew here. We have a sweet memory in this town.


Thank you, Matsubara.
