This afternoon,
I went to the nearby community café
for the aged people.

There were about ten people
including three gentlemen in the café.

All of them were in the 70s and 80s.

They found it a little difficult
to listen to each other,
so they talked in a loud voice
and laughed loud.

All people in the café looked very happy
to be alive.

Yes, I've understood talking and laughing
a lot is very important to enjoy life.

I enjoyed talking with two ladies
and laughed a lot.

I had a good time indeed.

Oh, a hot day, again!

Today's maximum temperature in Kodaira City
was 28℃---
too hot for October, isn't it?

Today I used air-conditioning all day.

================

I went to the doctor's office
to have my blood pressure checked.

I was feeling so languid that I was afraid
if I had high blood pressure.

What a relief!
My blood pressure was normal!

Yesterday's maximum temperature in Tokyo
was 21℃.

It was very cool yesterday.

Today's maximum temperature is expected
to be 32℃.

What a hot day for October!

After doing the wash and vacuuming the rooms,
I went shopping at the super market.

I walked in the sun in a hurry
and sweat came out on my forehead.

==============

Yokozuna Hakuho has retired from the game.

I can't see him in the Sumo ring any more.

I feel lonely as a big fan of Yokozuna Hakuho.

Please try your hardest
and become a great stable master,
Yokozuna Hakuho!

Today I attended a general emergency drill
in the community.　（総合防災訓練）
About 70 people attended the drill.

First, we all walked about 10 minutes
to a nearby school ground for evacuation drill.
（避難訓練）

Then, we practiced calling to a fire station and
learned how to talk on the phone in case of
a fire or first-aid.　
（救急や火事の時の電話のしかた）

Next, we experienced walking in the smoke.
（煙ハウス体験）

After that, we practiced using a fire extinguisher.
（消火器の使い方）

Then, we learned how to use AED.
(AEDの使い方)

Lastly, we experienced an earthquake simulation vehicle.

Ample contents!

I had a good time, though I was a little tired.

Beautiful Sunday!
Blue skies with some white clouds.

After finishing my morning routine,
I walked along Tamagawa-josui.

The sun was shining but it was not hot at all.
A cold wind was blowing but it was not cold at all.
The humidity is 50% now, I hear.
What a comfortable day!

I enjoyed walking along Tamagawa-josui slowly.
I saw a トンボ flying happily.
Was the トンボ going home?
Was the トンボ coming here to play?

彼岸花 were blooming here and there.
But they were past their best,
though they were still beautiful.

Little autumn flowers were seen in the bush.
I'm sorry I don't know their names.

I'm sorry I didn't take my camera with me.

I enjoyed strolling
along Tamagawa-josui.
What a good time I had!
