Commuter

My move to Ise is now complete. It was very difficult. My apartment is on the fourth floor and there is no elevator. My legs got very tired climbing up and down the stairs.

I threw away a lot of furniture and other items. I still have a lot of things I don’t need. Some things I will try to sell. Some things I will try to give away. Some things I will throw away.

Because I have many hobbies, I have a lot of things. Calligraphy, Photography, Cycling, Japanese, English, Games, Computers, Videos, Music, Cooking, …

Concert

A friend of mine has concerts on Wednesday nights at a club called the Paradox. The audience is usually very small, but it is fun. They serve good Mediterranean food, also. Tonight I will go to the concert at 9 O’Clock. I think I will take my camera.

Because I am taking medicine, I won’t be drinking any alcohol. Because I scrapped my car, I will go by bicycle. Because it is very cold outside, I will wear a neck warmer and special gloves. Because I work tomorrow, I won’t stay too late.

Riding My Bike

My car needed a vehicle inspection on the 24th of March. I got an estimate of the cost. The car needed about 200,000 yen in repairs. Even if I fixed the car, I would still be very nervous because it is 15 years old. So I sold the car to a scrap yard.

I loved the sunroof on my car. I will miss it very much.

I want to buy a new-used car, but it will take time to order one. For now, I am riding my bike.

Recently, I have been very lazy, so it is good to get some exercise. Maybe I will lose weight.

Simple Day

This morning the weather was sunny and clear, so I rode my bicycle to work. Sometimes I am very busy after work, so I must drive to work. Today, I had a simple schedule. After work I rode to the real estate agency and then to the bank.

For dinner I had tofu, grated daikon radish, and roasted tea. Usually I eat some kind of fish or meat, but occasionally I have a simple vegetarian meal.

Tonight I will meet some friends for tea and conversation.

Very Sticky

The air is so humid this evening. I am working on the computer and I am sweating a lot. Maybe I will run the air conditioner, but I don’t want to waste electricity. I rode my bike to work and it was very hot.

I hope you are able to stay cool this summer.

Riding Around

For a long time the tires on my bike have been flat. Finally, I fixed them. I went for a ride into the countryside yesterday. Today I rode my bike to work at an elementary school. After work I rode to the bank to deposit some money. Tonight I will ride with my friend to her shamisen class and then I will go to an izakaya to eat.

I really enjoy having my bike, it feels more free than a car.

Halloween Party

Tonight I will go to a Halloween party. Everyone will wear costumes. Last weekend we went to a second-hand store to shop for clothes. I couldn’t find a good costume, so I will wear something from my closet. I plan to dress up as a bicycle racer.

Cool Summer

Today the weather was cool and we had a nice breeze. I went for a slow bike ride to find more roads in my neighborhood. I think this summer is much cooler than last year or the year before, but Saturday was very hot.
