Walking

My husband and I went to Kouenji by bus. We had lunch at a Chinese noodle shop, but the Chinese noodles weren't good. Because the soup of the Chinese noodles was salty. We changed our mind, and we enjoyed window-shopping. There are many kinds of shops in Kouenji. For example, old clothes shops, miscellaneous goods shops, bookshops, used book shops, a tattoo parlor, used CD shops and so on. We were walking and walking in town. We were tired of walking, so we took a rest at a cafe. Then we enjoyed window-shopping again. I found 2 pieces of cloth at an ethnic miscellaneous shop. I thought of making cushion cover with them, so I bought them impulsively. After I went home, I checked my pedometer. It read 14003 steps!

  

My lesson

My student Ikuko came to my home in the afternoon. She gave  her first music CD album to me. Her friend composed music and she wrote each a song hers. She sung the songs in the album. She enjoyed talking about her album, so I enjoyed listening to her talking for about one hour. Then I gave a lesson on aromatherapy and a herbal lesson to her. O taught her how to make the herb eye-pillow this time, too. Her herb eye-pillow fragrance was fresh, so it'll be useful for a change of pace. She liked her fragrance and she liked the herb eye-pillow. After the lesson, I made herbal tea for her and I served it to her. She enjoyed talking about her album again.

 

My lesson

My student Yukari came to my home in the afternoon. I gave a lesson on aromatherapy and a herbal lesson to her. I taught her how to make the herb eye-pillow this time, too. She enjoyed making it with her favorite fragrance. Her herb eye-pillow fragrance was fruity, so it'll be useful for making herself feel refreshed. After the lesson, I served a cup of herbal tea and piece of cake to her. We enjoyed talking for a while.

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 "simmered potato with soybean paste", "chicken was dressing and Japanese herbs in a Japanese plum sauce", "bamboo shoot rice", and "milk cinnamon jelly". The jelly one of Sicily's local dishes, and it used cornstarch instead of gelatin. We enjoyed cooking them all the time. We finished cooking, and we took several pictures of them. While eating we enjoyed talking. I'm looking forward to the next lesson.

the rape blossoms

I went to my father's home in the afternoon. I did the housework and I cooked food for Gonta as usual. Then I walked him to a river near my father's home this time, too. Almost all of cherry blossoms fell down, but the rape blossoms were in full bloom.They were beautiful, so I took 2 pictures of them. Then I played with him a lot and I massaged him for a while. He seemed to feel good all the time.

Sakura

I walked Gonta to the front of a supermarket near my father's home to see my friend Kiyomi at 14:50. Gonta met her for the first time, so he was interested in her. He wagged his tail, and he seemed to like to be stroked by her. But Kiyomi isn't good with dog, and she can't touch dogs. It couldn't be helped, so we started walking to watch the cherry blossoms along a river. Kiyomi visited the place for the first time, so she was moved by the beautiful scenery. The cherry blossoms were in full bloom. There were many people enjoying watching the cherry blossoms. I took many pictures of the cherry blossoms. We enjoyed walking and talking for 70 minutes.
