It's March 1 today.

There used to be a heavy snow left
there in Niigata at this time of year.

I lived there in Niigata more than 50 years.

What a lovely day here in Tokyo today!

It's warm.
The sun is shiny bright.
Yes, spring is here!

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

Japan's vaccination program has gotten
under way.

Health-care professionals are the first
to be vaccinated against COVID-19.

I'm glad no serious side-effects
have been reported so far.

I hope the vaccine against COVID-19
will be developed in Japan too.

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

By the way,
the Olympic Torch Relay starts this March and
the opening ceremony of the Tokyo Olympics
will be held on July 23.

I wonder if it is possible to hold
the Olympics at Tokyo in this chaos of
COVID-19 pandemic.
