We have a long spell of fine weather
here in Tokyo.
It's quite warm in the daytime,
though we are in winter.
I talk with my elder sister on the phone
every night.
She lives in our hometown, a remote rural
area of Niigata, where they have much cold
rain, sometimes frost or sleet these days.
My sister is wondering when snow falls.
She lives alone and to live in the snow areas
is very hard for her.
===========
Today I bought ten lottery tickets---
年末ジャンボ宝くじ.
I buy only 年末ジャンボ宝くじ every year
but I've never won except the booby prize末等.
That's OK.
I'm looking forward to the lottery on the last day
of December.—on New Year's Eve.
