文明の恩恵  The Benifit of the Civilization

2011-01-20 10:30:51 | 日記
今朝は天気が悪く暗かったので目が覚めるのが遅く、気がついたら7時10分前でした
すぐに玄関を開けるとタイガーが待ってましたとばかりに飛び込んできて、私に飛びついてきます
外は雨でタイガーの足には泥がついているので床は汚れるし、私の寝巻きも泥だらけ
タイガーの足を雑巾で拭いてから食事の準備をしようとしたら、なんと停電です
以前にもご紹介しましたが、我が家は電気に依存しているため、停電になると水も出ないので食事の準備や後片付けが大変です
とりあえず冷凍のご飯を鍋でほぐして冷凍の調理済み鶏肉を少し加えて混ぜ合わせ、タイガーの食事はOK
いつもならこのあと洗濯をしますが、今日は洗濯機が使えないのでおやすみ
自分の食事もいつものホットコーヒーが飲めず、トースターも使えないのでフライパンでフレンチトーストを作って済ませました
出勤すると病院も停電で、発電機が作動していました
文明にどっぷりと浸かって恩恵を受けていると忘れてしまいがちですが、このような環境ではそのありがたさがよくわかります

This morning it was rainy and little bit darker than usual and I was late to wake up.
Just 10 minutes to 7 oclock I woke up and opened the entrance door, Tiger came into the room and jumped to me with vigor.
Outside was wet and the floor and my cloths became dirty by his feet.
After cleaning his feet I started to cook his breakfast and realized that the electricity had broken down.
I described above that my house is depending on the electricity power and once it breaks down not only electric appliances stopping but also the water doesn’t come out.
I cooked the frozen rice and cooked chicken by the gas stove and gave to him.
Usually I will wash my cloths after cooking but today the washing machine was not usable and skipped it.
About the breakfast of myself I couldn’t have a hot coffee and the toast, I cooked the French toast by the fry pan on the gas stove.
Arriving at the hospital, electricity had broken down here too.
But the hospital had the big generator and it worked well.
We often forget the thanks for the civilization in our circumstances in Japan but we can recognise the benefit of it in this country.
