too muggy, isn't it?

During this rainy season
we had rather cool days.

But it' so muggy today.

The rainy season will officially end
in a few days, I suppose.

We'll be hit by a heat wave.

It will be difficult to keep myself
in good condition, I'm afraid.

Don't be so negative, karin!

Try to enjoy the summer heat, karin!

enjoy English on the radio

I've been enjoying English radio programs
for years.

I buy the following textbooks every month.



I listen to the following English radio
programs from Monday to Friday---

ラジオ英会話 at 6:45a.m.
英会話タイムトライアル at 8:30 a.m..
ボキャブライダー　at 9:05 a.m.
エンジョイ・シンプル・イングリッシュ at 9:10 a.m.
and （入門・実践）ビジネス英語 at 9:15a.m.

I don't listen to the rebroadcasts.（再放送）
I'm not a diligent listener, I'm afraid.

Let's enjoy English, shall we?

one of my favorite flowers

This afternoon,
on the way to my daughter's house,
I saw おしろいばな in beautiful bloom.

They were not open in the morning
when I went to Friday English Class.

I looked at my watch
and it was just 4 o'clock!

Do you know
what they are called in English?

They are called “four-o'clocks”in English.

I like おしろいばな very much.

おしろいばな reminds me of my girlhood.

she recovered completely

It's Friday today
and I attended Friday English Class.

Our American teacher was quite all right.

We were very happy to hear
that she had recovered completely.

But I was sorry one of the members
had a summer cold.

She was coughing.

I hope she will soon be all right.

July 4 is
the Independence Day of America.

Our teacher brought us
a box of cupcakes
to celebrate America.

Thank you so much, Ms. MB.
