Wimbledon championship tournament has started!

Millions of tennis fans across the world are really into it.

Here is an all-night fan for the tournament, too.

Q-taro: “It’s already been around at midnight!

Don’t you feel sleepy?”

Mr. N: “Yes, I do. I do feel sleepy, but I want to watch this. Let me!”

Q-taro: “It’s O.K., if you want. Well, I’ve just asked you if you want to go to bed or not, because you looked so sleepy”

Mr. N: “Ohhhohhhwaohh!(yawning)Sleepy! I want to go to bed! But I want to watch this! Give me coffee! Why don’t you come and have seated to watch this?”

After all, Mr. N has watched the tennis match until 3 A.M..

One of the players of the match looked Roger Federer. Who was his opponent?

Rainy season has started. We’ve not expected such hot weather as in summer.

A small guest came to our home to enjoy the cool(?).

No, he/she is not a guest, because he/she is a tenant of eaves of our home!

Q-taro: “Ms. Y, can you name that swallow?”

Ms. Y: “Well, let me see,,, Swallow is swallow. Its name is Swallow, isn’t it?

Ms. S: How about Hachi?

Q-taro: “Hachi? Does the name come from ukkari Hachi-be on the famous TV drama ‘Mito-komon’?”

The swalllow is named as ‘Hachi’ with no vote, after all.

After breakfast, Mr. M and I went for walk to the Ikaida crossroads the other day. There were lots of koinobori swimming in the air above the river. We saw many people gathering there. Mr. M asked me to go there to listen to the guest’s speech.

It was held by Fushino river fishery cooperative. Niho kodomo-en (nursery school) children and Niho elementary and junior high students released young ayu fish into Niho river. Isn’t it a good idea to leave the nature of Niho to children brought up there, is it?

At Haruhi-en Tsuwano

At about 11 a.m. on April 30, it was a fine day from morning, our familiar harmonica man and his assistant visited to Haruhi-en Tsuwano, saying “We came here to encourage you! Let’s have fun.”

Our residents sung songs to his harmonica performance, such as nursery songs or “Sukiyaki”, and about 10 other songs.

Our residents enjoyed it, filled with smile. We took a picture with the harmonica man, after that. We had a very good time. We all thank him very much for coming all the way from Yamaguchi.　(by Kawasaki)

I found an umbrella hung on a rear-windshield wiper of our lift car, when I was going on patrol around our facility after

night-shift!

I guess some resident did it.

Something good may happen..

Buy lottery?

Nay, only one umbrella won’t do.

Well, I could find more if I try much harder.
