The day before yesterday,
I got my second COVID vaccine at the clinic.

I hear a lot of people have side effects
with the second shot.

I hear the younger you are,
the more serious side effects you have.

I was very afraid of
getting my second vaccination dose.

I had a slight fever yesterday.

I had a slight headache yesterday.

I've been feeling a little lazy
since the day before yesterday.

Yes, my side effects
were not so serious.

What a relief!

We are now in the rainy season.

How changeable the weather is!

Today's weather----
cloudy→sunny→a shower（俄雨）→
cloudy→sunny→a shower→cloudy.

This changeable weather makes me gloomy.

The washing just won't dry.

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

Today I went to Kokubunji by bus.

The bus was a bit crowded.

When an old lady got in the bus,
a young lady stood up immediately
and gave her seat to the old lady.

What a heartwarming scene!

I felt happy to see the scene.

The COVID-19 pandemic continues.

The third declaration of the state of emergency
（緊急事態宣言）
is to transfer to まん延防止等重点措置 tomorrow,
in Tokyo.

I'm growing accustomed to this new life.

I have settled in to staying at home.

I'm trying to avoid the three Cs---

・closed spaces with poor ventilation（密閉）
・crowded places with many people nearby（密集）
・close-contact setting such as close-range
conversations.（密接）

I keep social distancing.
I wear a mask.

Will the days come when we can enjoy
our normal life?

It was reported the rainy season began
yesterday here in Tokyo.

Will we have rainy days day after day?

Will we have sunny days?

Will we have cool weather?

Will the rainy season last long?

I hope we'll not have so gloomy weather.

Do you like the rainy season?

What a hot day!

We've had three consecutive “tropical days,”
here in Tokyo. （真夏日）

Are we in midsummer?

We are still in June, not July or August.

Yesterday, I turned on the air conditioner
in my room for the first time this year.

To practice 「きょういく（今日行く場所）」&　
「きょうよう（今日の用事）」 is
rather difficult on these tropical days.

Sweat came out on my forehead
when I walked to my daughter's house.

I was happy that I was strong enough to walk
in this hot weather.

How are you spending your days, Friends?

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

Plants flourish here along Tamagawa-josui.

They seem to like hot weather.
