How Generous of You!!2020/06/14

I didn't know I could order more of the Abenomasks, which have caused a bitter laugh nationwide wasting a ridiculous amount of our tax money,  if I needed, which I do not.  
we accept orders

Today's Cat2020/06/14

A peaceful morning.
This may be the first time I have ever posted a photograph of a peaceful-looking cat to this blog.

My Garden2020/06/15


This is my kitchen garden. Regrowing bean sprouts is naturally a default. Plus, I have been trying to grow sweet potato leaves as I heard they are edible.

Early Summer Flower2020/06/15


"Early summer" is a more preferable way to describe June than "rainy season". 
It would be more pleasant to appreciate the hydrangea flower planted roadside if I didn't have to wear a mask. 

Yet Another New Rule2020/06/20


New!
(at the bottom)
Be careful of "mask heatstroke"!
Regularly drink water or other fluid (I guess except for alcoholic beverage).

Imperial Mask2020/06/24

To a bit of my surprise, the Emperor and Empress haven't  abandon Tokyo, wearing seemingly very ordinary masks made of non-woven fabric, just like ones that recently became available at a local AEON. 
They could get any masks --cool masks made by Uniqlo, Mizuno, Yonex or Sharp, or masks made from rare silk which can be obtained only once three hundred years.  No one would blame them even if they wear all-silk、N-95, NASA-approved, organic, or whatever, masks. 

So Picky2020/06/25


not this not that
Local grocery stores are collecting used plastic food packages for recycling, which is nice. 
But there are too many local rules saying this is recyclable, that is not. I guess probably more than 50% of food packages are not accepted. These packages can go nowhere but waste incineration plants. 

Now  I think I manage to separate what I can bring in from the rest of rubbish, but I am not really sure I could follow the meticulous rules they impose when I get a bit more older...

His Summer Snacks2020/06/26


His Treats
My husband has finally begun to learn how to prepare his snacks by himself.
According to him, our microwave oven is good at cooking edamame and corn on the cob. 
He no longer get told off by me for buying these summer delicacies without permission and I no longer have to boil water in the boiling hot kitchen. A very win-win situation.
