Previously, I have continued sleeping on a futon spread on the floor. So, I had back pain recently. From now on, I can get pleasant sleep!



After work, I went to a school for English conversation to get explanatory information. I decided to join the school. The decisive factors in determining were that using only English is permitted in lessons and school fee is reasonable. Also, school staffs were very kind.

After explanation, I took English conversation skill test. On the basis of result, I selected the class from 2 alternatives. As I think my speaking skill is weak, I chose lower level class. I don't want to put me in a difficult situation. I hope to make steady progress.

It was past 9:30 p.m. when I finished application procedure, there were still many people to study or to get explanatory information. I was very influenced.

Today is Autumnal Equinox Day. On this day, the length of daytime and nighttime is nearly the same. It is also the central day of Higan, a week-long Buddhist ceremony celebrated in Japan. As it is said that "Summer heat or winter cold doesn't last after the equinox", following the equinox, lingering summer heat gradually starts to wane, signaling the beginning of autumn. I hope it will be getting cooler.

The season I like best is autumn. In this season, I can feel calm and address studies, hobbies and so on. I'm also looking forward to autumn eating!


Today, I went to IKEA to buy a divan bed with M-san. It is first time for me to go there. The store is large and has a lot of kind of items. The goods have various colors, so it is very enjoyable to my eyes.

We could buy a nice divan bed which will be delivered on 9/30. After all, I bought not only a bed but also a TV table and a small table. I could not stop shopping but I'm glad to have good purchases. I'm looking forward to receiving the bed.

After that, we had supper at a rotating sushi bar and had hotspring bath in the vicinity.

Regarding the avail of today's purchases, I will write at a future date.


This is homemade Ume Brandy developing for three months. It is a first trial for me. It seems to have a certain level of maturity, but I hope it become more mellow with age. I'm looking forward to tasting it after a while.
