8月26日(日)快晴
最高気温が30℃を越え、先週から屋外プールで泳いでいます。2ヶ月間通った温水プールに行く途中にペット霊園があります。豪州では野生動物を捕食する猫の人気は今一つで、ほとんどの墓標は愛犬のもの。ハムスター、小鳥、亀、蛇、トカゲ、馬、羊、豚、アルパカのお墓もあります。先週ペットのラクダに圧死させられた老人のニュースが報道されていました。僕も日本で馬を飼っていましたが、大型動物の世話は大変です。
ラクダは楽じゃない

Pet cemetery
Sun. August 26 : fine
As the highest temperature today has exceeded 30 degrees I’ve been swimming in the outdoor swimming pool since last week. There’s a pet cemetery on the way to the heated pool where I went for 2 months. In Australia cats are not so popular as they catch wild animals, so most graves are for pet dogs. There are also ones for hamsters, birds, tortoises, snakes, lizards, horses, sheep, pigs, and alpacas. I heard the news about an old woman who was crushed to death by her pet, camel. I had a horse in Japan, so I know how hard it is to keep big animals.
It's not comfertable to ride a camel
