a sample

After supper, I made the samples for my hand-sewing lesson again. I finally finished making them at midnight. It relieved me, and I took a picture of them.

 

a sample

I stayed at home all day. I made a pair of coasters for my hand-sewing lesson. The coasters are in the shape of battledore. I chose several pieces of Japanese pattern cloth which I'd bought before. While watching TV I made them. I didn't finish making them yet, so I'm going to make them tomorrow.

 

 

Mugio and Gonta

I went to my father's home in the afternoon. I did the housework and I cooked food for Gonta as usual. When I finished all of my work, I got an e-mail from my friend Sachiko. She was in her parent's home with Mugio, so I walked Gonta to her parent's home. I rang the doorbell, and Sachiko came out from her parent's home with Mugio. Mugio and Gonta had met each other two months previously. We enjoyed walking around a river with Mugio and Gonta for about 40 minutes. Mugio approached Gonta again and again, but Gonta growled and barked at Mugio. So Mugio was walking a pace behind Gonta, and Mugio tried smelling Gonta's buttock again and again. When Mugio's nose touched Gonta's buttock, Gonta scurried forward. I guessed Mugio is interested in Gonta, but Gonta doesn't like him. Mugio is interested in me, too. So Mugio came across to me when Gonta looked the other way. I stroked Mugio again and again, he seemed to be happy. I hope that Gonta will get along with Mugio someday.

 

Gonta

I had lunch at my favorite cafe on my way to my father's home. Then I went to my father's home. I did the housework and I cooked food for Gonta as usual. While doing the housework, Gonta was sleeping beside the sofa. He seemed to be late a middle-aged man, so I took a picture of him. Then I walked him and I played with him a lot as usual.

a cooking lesson

I went to my friend home to take a cooking lesson in the morning. She taught her students and me how to cook, "vegetable and bean curd soup", "lotus dumpling with sauce" and "roasted duck with honey and black pepper sauce". All of them were beautiful and stylish. We took several pictures of them before we ate them. Then we enjoyed eating and talking for a while.

Gonta

I went to my father's home in the afternoon. I did the housework and I cooked for Gonta as usual, meanwhile, Gonta was sleeping on the floor near the sofa. There is a gas-heater near the sofa, so the hot air drifted from the gas-heater to under the base of the sofa. The area is his favorite. Then I walked him to a river near my father's home. After I walked him, I played with him a lot and I massaged him as usual.

My lesson

My students came to my home at 2:00 p.m. They bumped into each other at the entrance of my apartment. I gave a lesson on aromatherapy and a herbal lesson to them. I lectured about black pepper essential oil, and I taught them how to make a sugar scrub. They enjoyed making the scrub this time, too. After the lesson, I served them a cup of herbal tea and some sweets. We enjoyed talking for a while.
