Today I went to see my doctor
to have my blood pressure checked.

My blood pressure today was 144-86.

The doctor said it was a bit high
and that I should pay more attention
to my blood pressure.

I am taking pills to lower the blood pressure
every morning.

Don't you have any problems
with your blood pressure?

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

On my way home from the doctor, I found
a bamboo pole with Star Festival decorations
being set up by 高齢クラブ in the neighborhood.

Some of their wishes were as follows:

・コロナ禍で運動不足にならないで！
・コロナ収束を願います。
・コロナ禍の医療従事者を守って！
・コロナ禍の医療従事者のみなさん、ありがとう！
・早く好きな人と歌ったり踊ったりしたい。
・星に願いを。
・元気でいてね。
・地球の平和
・子供たちに平和な世界を。
・子供たちの健やかな成長を祈る。
・公正で平和な社会を。
・笑顔いっぱいの明るい世の中でありますように。
・健康で楽しい人生を送れますように！
・今年もグランドゴルフでがんばろう！
・家庭円満になりますように。
・消費税を５％にもどせ！

Have you written your wish
on the Star Festival strip?

The election for the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly
is held on July 4th.

Kodaira City is two-seats district.

There are two candidates in Kodaira electoral district.

Alas! No voting!

The two candidates don't take part in the campaign.

I have no chances to see them.

I have no chances to listen to their election manifestoes.

They will be Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly members
without an election.

I have an unsatisfied feeling.
