Mukomachi Coop EnlgishコミュのHere's our third thread.

Hi guys,

How are you?
It's raining for the first time in many days.
The whole city is covered with whitish mist.
The noises of the city seems to be shrouded in that mist too.

No matter how good something is,
if it lasts too long, it loses its appeal.
I'm talking about fine weather.
It lasted too long for us to appreciate it
toward the end of this long fine weather.

When I was in France, sunny days lasted for so long that I lost track of it.
We had sunny days for over a week, even two weeks.
We started longing for cloudy skies and rainy days.
Even a few drops of rain would have alleviated our longing for rain.

The same kind of thing, although less intense, happened this time.
It's not very often that we have this long spell of such good weather
at this time of the year.

We love cherry blossoms because of its ephemeralness.
We adore the moon because of its ever-changingness.
If something lasts too long, we start to turn away from it.

By the way, sorry to have been away from this site for long.
I will try to come up here and post a message as often as possible from today.

See ya next time,
Karuna

Hi.

Since when have you posted a new sread, Kazz?
I've not found it for a long time.
And I thought you were napping.

It's a little chilly today for a late April day.
Cherry blossoms has already gone away and fresh green
lieves are comming out.
Nice season isn't this?

Sorry I have to go to a meeting at the community center.
I'll post here again later.
Bye for now.

Tak.

Hi, everybody.

I have a nice G.W. right now.
I'm in a good mood today.
And my wife is in a good temper, too, by some reason.
So we went out together.
I was going to the ukulele class in the afternoon and my wife
had to prepare flowers for her next flower presentation.

And we two went to Kyoto though she left home earlier.
After she had done her job, we met in Teramachi.
Teramachi is my favorite town in Kyoto.
It has some classical tastes especially northern area of
Sanjyo-St.
There are some old stores like Kyukyodo, Ippodo and Oike-senbei.
On top of them, Koizumi-gakki and UCC-coffee-shop are nice place I
always visit everytime I walk the street.

Then we got into a good restaurant at Nijyo and had a lunch.
We ordered their daily special menu.
It was the menu all customers there chose.
It was a dish of tough meet with a mount of french fries.
Is it American style?
We chewed them well taking enough time so we had unusual nice
slow speed lunch time.

After that we stopped at a coffee shop and parted for each job.
Then it was my good time of ukulele.
So the first day of G.W. was very best.
That's for today.

I hope comming days will be good for all of us.
See you.

I've been keeping good codition during this holiday.

The biggest reason is that my wife have given her time
to her presentation of flower arrengement.
And my interst is in some ukulele events in this G.W.
It's important for peaceful family to have defferent interests
each other.

I had the ukulele class on the 1st day of the hiliday and on the
2nd day I joined the ukulele team at Takatsuki-Jazz-Street as a
support member, not as a performer.
And on the 3rd day I went to Osaka and saw a ukulele event that
leading Japanese ukulele players performed.

So I'm still in a good mood.
I think you are having good thime too.
See you on Friday.

How do you lock doors in the school?

Hi, everybody.
How are you?

Today is Saturday, a precious holiday for me.
I'm working for a school every weekday.
Just two houers in the evening everyday.
It's really easy but I'm feeling a little pressure to
have some sense of duty.
So today, I'm freed from every pressure and I feel good.

And today's story.
I'm working at a highschool.
My job is to shut classroom windows and lock up doors of
the school except service entrances by about seven o'clock.
Students are supposed to be out there before it.
But acctually a lot of students were in the school, mostly
in the ground or gim for their club and some are studying in
their classrooms.

I locked around according to a certain route and finished.
No one coudn't enter the school building.
Umm...a few students ran away through a door.
You know?
I lock some doors with my key but others aren't locked with any key.
They are just hooked up inside the building.
And a student who is remaining in a classroom could unlock doors
taking off hooks inside the building.

So students are easily walk in and out the building after I've once
locked up all the building.
That's really a problem espesially for the school manager.
How weak their security is?
Of course I'm not responsible after I leave there at 7:15.
But I'm often taking about the problem with the manager.
Do you have any idea?

See you.
Tak.

Hi, guys.

I'm feeling a little run-down.
I played tennis in the morning after three weeks interval.
It due to my age?
Actually whenever I play tennis in our club, I'm always
the oldest plyer these days.
I once played on successive two days and got a heavy back
pain for two weeks.

And I spent two hours after lunch watching TV.
I couldn't stay home more in the fine holiday afternoon so
went out to Nagaokakyo.
I often walk around aimlessly when I have spare time and fine
weather.
I walked along Obata-gawa and had a small rest on a bench at the
midpoint of a bridge across the river.
I automatically got drowsing for a while.

I must have looked like an oldman snoozing under the sun.
Was it laughable?
But it was really a good time for me.
Then I stopped at a coffee shop and spent some time.
I also likely took a short snooze there.
It looks a little bad?

That's for today.
See you on Friday.

A careless man.

I worked at Kumiyama-highschool us usual yesterday.
And had dinner and played the ukulele as usual.
And today, my wife said to me that she wanted to go to a
garden center to look some rose-plants.
Of course I gave her a quick reply of OK.
She looked good-tempered unusually.

She said she'd like to get a rose in her yard.
And she was looking for a good plant.
We looked around the garden center and she likely marked out
some plants.
Then we had lunch and came home.

When I got home, a package had arrived.
It was a small book from work.
And they said it was policy of the company and had to send back
a receipt.
So I filled it my signature and ID code...
I didn't remember my ID code and opend my bag to look it up.

At that moment I recognized I'd brought home an important school
keys by mistake.
It was the master key.
They need it when they open the door of the office room.
Oops... I've done.

I hurried to the school.
Fortunately the day was Saturday and the school was closed.
I could enter the school and managed to set back the key.
It was quite lucky.
If It hadn't been Saturday, if that package hadn't arrived,
if I hadn't opened my bag..., what should I have done?
I was in luck?
That was good.
That's news.

See you.
Tak.

Hi,Scarlett.

Happy birthday
I don't know how many you've got years, though.

Life is too short and what have you accomplished?
Anyway let's celebrate!

Am I a hedgehog?

Hi, how are you?

Is this the rainy season?
How hot!

Hove you ever had a treatment with acupuncture?
I did it today.
I'm having treatment of Chinese medicine at a hospital in Saiin.
They have a department of Chinese madicine and I go there once a
month to treat dizziness.
I've been taking harb-medicine for a year.
But I've not found an indication of getting well.

Then my docter said she was thinking of acupuncture.
I'm a good patient so I agreed with it.
And today....
Of cource it was my first experience.
I guessed she would stick some needles, five or six needles,
on my affected point.

But as she started sticking I knew it wasn't easy.
Each shot she gave me wasn't pain.
Something like a tiny sting of an ant.
But her shots were keeping more and more.
And more than fifty needles were sticked all over my back side
from the neck to foots.
Am I a hedgehog?

She left me on the bed as that was and I had to bear for 30 minutes
as that was.
After that she made me turn on my back and gave my some shot, not so
many, five or six.
Now I have a feeling like a mastle pain.
Maybe today was a good day.

And sorry I have to skip the next class.
Tell me what to do for next-next lesson.

By for now.
See you at the next-next class.
