もう12月も半ば  now,mid of December

さてさて忘年会シーズンとなりました。皆さん胃や肝臓はお大事に。前日の検査でバリウム抜けたかどうか不安を抱きつつ、仕事で神戸方面に行っていたので、帰りにルミナリエに立ち寄りました。途中から雨が降り出してゆっくりと見られなかったけど、毎回感動しますね。毎年違うテーマなので、デザインや配色も異なっているのが毎度の新たな感動なのかもしれない。カップルや家族が多い中で、僕と同じように写真だけ撮りにきていた女性や会社帰りのおじさんがいたのは一寸ホッとしますね。(苦笑)今年も残りわずかで、2010年へのカウントダウンとなりました。ボジョレーも飲み尽くし、もうワインは定番モンペラとカロン・セギュールのセカンドの2本しか残っていないな。正月までは持たないなぁ。年越し用ワインを探してこようと。さて、昨日届いた白熊ラーメン、またネットで買っちゃいました。インスタントにしては驚きのラーメンです。ああ、食べたくなってきた。さあ、お湯沸かそうと。

11月になりました。 it comes November

一寸、間が開きました。巷ではインフルエンザで大騒ぎ。息子もあわやでしたが、インフルエンザじゃない(本当か怪しいが)こともわかったので、一安心していたら、学校自体が休校に。休みになって喜んだ息子は、今度は何とお多福風邪。彼はもう2週間も学校に行っていない。会社でも同僚がついにかかってしまった。一時,プチパンデミックかと大騒ぎ。まあ、僕は未だ今時点発病していないから大丈夫だな。やれやれ。
さて、楽しい話の近況報告。先月10月に阪神百貨店で我が家の好物”千疋屋のマンゴープリン”が臨時ブースで販売中とかで、閉店ぎりぎりに購入。そのときまさかのWINEに出会いまして、即買い。CASALE VECCHIO Montepulciano d'abruzzo 2007 これ2,000円しないんだよな。なのにふくよかで,香りも良く,しっかりしたWINEだ。これ8,000円するって言われたらそう思うかもしれない。また飲みたいな。
It opened among for a moment. It fusses over by influenza on the street. The school closed the school when feeling relieved though my son was an almost because it understood it is not influenza (It is true or though it is doubtful). My son pleased to become a rest,but he got a mumps this time. He has not gone to school for as many as two another weeks. The colleague has finally got a flu also in the company. Petit-pandemic or temporary fuss. Oh dear, I am still safe because it doesn't get sick nowadays. Huhuuu~Well.
Well, recent situation report of good talk. It buys it for a very limit closing the store while the favorite dish "Mango pudding of Senbiki-ya" of my home is selling it in a temporary booth in The Hanshin Department Store in October of last month. and I found WINE. it buys it immediately at that time. It has never meets WINE "CASALE VECCHIO Montepulciano d 'abruzzo 2007 ". it comes 2,000 yen.Nevertheless, it is full, the smell is also good, and steady WINE. It is likely to think of this 8,000 yen so if said it. I want to drink by me again.

娘の大学の学園祭があってその道中に不思議なオブジェ。空き地に黒のビニルシートを張ってその上に石が置いてあったのだけど,不思議な空間に。ビニルのたわみがあまり無いので,石が浮いている感じ。この空き地に入っちゃいけないって感じがする。何とも不思議な光景。
There is a campus festival of daughter's university and mysterious objet on the way of that. To a mysterious space though a black vinyl seat is put on the vacant lot and the stone was put on that. It feels it because there is so no bend of the vinyl in the floatage of the stone. I felt somebody don't enter this vacant lot. Indescribably mysterious spectacle.

そして昨日31日は一人で奈良へ。毎年恒例の正倉院展と阿修羅像のお堂内配置の興福寺がお目当て。朝の開場前には国立博物館に着いたけどすでに40分待ちの長蛇の列。中に入っても人がいっぱい。今年の目玉になっている琵琶はさすがにきれいだ。それから,よく見る碁盤。この精巧さは何度見ても飽きないなぁ。1200年以上も前に作られ使われた物,書かれた物。それがこうやって目の当たりにする。20回以上人生をやっても残る物は残るんだと。パソコンを使わないと見られない今の記録。こんな20回以上の人生には耐えられるのだろうか。まあ,残す価値があるかってのもあるけどね。
正倉院展を後に次は興福寺。阿修羅像が仮金堂内に阿弥陀如来,四天王,八部衆や十大弟子とともに置かれている。これは見応え有る。ウルトラマンや仮面ライダーが勢揃いしたような・・・例えが悪いか。阿修羅像も昔一度だけ宝物展で見た記憶が有るが,そのときは暗いところでよく見えなかった。今回それを見るのに何と2時間待ち。晴れていたが,もうすぐ11月なのに日向はまだとても暑い。前に並んでいたアメリカ人(かな?)の女性ふたりはノースリーブだったけど,やはり暑いものは暑い。ぐったりしてました。時折木陰のところに入ると暫くはそこに留まっていたい気分だった。ようやくお堂に入るときは,ささ行くぞってなもんで,入るともう感激。並んで見る価値は十分有りました。阿修羅は不思議な像だけど,あのスリムさ,きれいなライン。端正な正面の顔。あれだけの像の中で一つ空気が違うんだよね。堂内に次々と人が入ってくるので当然押し出されてしまいます。
惜しみつつ次は北円堂へ。ここは建物自体も国宝で,中の四天王像はちょっとコミカル。ここに入るのも30分以上は並んだ。見終わった頃には午後3時を回っていた。
And, the 31st yesterday I went to Nara-city alone. Kofuku-ji Temple of arrangement in the temple and Ashura-figure every year in customary Shousou-in exhibition it is my aim. It is an already long line of waiting for 40 minutes though arrived at National Museum before the doors is opened of the morning. The person fully : even if entering the inside. The lute(Biwa) that is this year's special item is indeed beautiful. After that, the go-board often seen. This elaborateness doesn't get tired of no matter how it sees. Thing that being made was used for 1200 years or more ago and written thing. we got witnesses it. When the thing that remains even if the life is done 20 times or more remains. The current record not expected not to be going to use personal computer. Can such 20 lives be endured? Oh dear, there is selfishness worth leaving it, too.
The following are Kofuku-ji Temple in the back as for the Shousou-in exhibition. Ashura-figure is put with Amida Buddha, four kings, and the 8 and 10 figure in a temporary central hall. That's great! as if Ultra-man and the mask rider mustered all cast・・・ Is the comparison bad? It did not see me it well in a dark point at that time though it had my memory of seeing Ashura-figure in the treasure exhibition in old times only once. I had waited very much for two hours to see it this time. It was still very hot soon in sunny-place though will be November soon. 2 women of the American (?) who was standing in a row ahead put on sleeveless. they were tired out and .. It was feelings for a while when sometimes entering the shade of a tree to want to stay there. When having entered the temple at last, I had already been moved deeply when "let me go".. entering. There was value that queued up enough. A slim, of that beautiful line of Asura imaging mysterious. Face in front of simple. Air is different in one image only in that. Naturally, because the person enters in the temple one after another,I was pushed out.
The following : to north yen temple regretting it. The building is a national treasure here, and an inside four kings image is comical for a moment. Entering in here queued up for 30 minutes or more, too. It turned round 3:00PM when having finished seeing.

空腹満たしに毎度おたのしみの釜飯へ。この日からちょうど牡蠣入りが食せる。この時間だと比較的に好いていたが,ここでも並んだ。もう足が棒の状態。やっとこさ座れて,おいしい釜飯が出てきた。おいしいねぇ。さてお次は帰ってからhalloweenだ。
I went to the Kamameshi(rice, meat, and vegetables cooked together in a small pot.)-dining to a hungry filling over which it enjoys myself every time. I just could eat with the oyster on this day. I had to queue up in the row though it was less than usual .My foot was already in the state of the stick.I was able finally to sit. and I got it a delicious Kamameshi(small-pod) are finally served. It is delicious. Well, after it returns to my home, the following are halloween.



昨年くらいからお隣の妹ご夫婦ン家と一緒にパーティー。(昨年は私だけ単身で東京にいたので,参加できなかったから今年初めて参加だ)パーティ用にケーキを買いに”ら・くら”へ。行ってびっくり。店員が皆野菜のコスチュームでっていうか着ぐるみ着てました。なかなか楽しいですね。戻って食事の後にお隣でパーティ開始。僕と妻以外は楽しい仮装。halloweenを知ったのは,TVで見たチャーリーブラウンのアニメが最初かな。旧暦七夕の蝋燭集め(この行事は北海道東北しかやっていないようだ)みたいなものだ。"Trick or Treat"って来る子どもはこの辺にはいない。まあ家族で仮装してはしゃぐのもまたいいものかな。さて来年は何か着なきゃいけないな。
ああ,もうすぐひとつ年齢を重ねる。健康に注意だ。
we had halloween-party with neighbor of younger sister married couple from last year. (I enjoyed for the first time because I couldn't enjoy cause only I stayed in Tokyo for business about last year ).I purchased the cake to "RA-KU RA; cake shop) for the party. I was surprised to go with my daughter. All clerk put on costume of vegetable. we were quite happy. we returned and after the meal, the party was begun in the next door. they put on costume of halloween excluding wife and me. In my knowing halloween, the animated cartoon of Charlie Brown who saw with TV is the beginning. It is the one like the candles collection of the old calendar Star Festival (This event seems to do only the Hokkaido northeast). There is no child who comes "Trick or Treat" around here.(here is Japan) our family probably the good one, too? Well, I and my wife will be necessary to put on something next year.
Ah one age is piled up soon for me. Be careful for our health.

シルバーウィーク−世界遺産の国宝姫路城 Silverweek(holidays in autumn) - Himeji-castle

秋の連休ーシルバーウィーク。子供たちの夏休みがやっと終わったとたんの5連休。今日は2日目。世界遺産で国産(?)第一号の姫路城へ急遽行くことに。朝の出発が遅れて、お決まりの宝塚渋滞に巻き込まれ、2時間の移動が4時間かかった。天気は快晴だったので、それほど腐らず運転できた。姫路城は学生の時代に一度行ったきりだ。久しぶりに来た城にも観光者がごったがえしていた。空の青さに白壁は映えてやはり美しい城だ。天守閣の屋根のバランスも絶妙で、石垣はでたらめが秩序になって、城を支えていて何度見ても不思議だ。登城も終え、喉の渇きに、「姫路城サイダー」。昔(昭和30年代)懐かしい炭酸のきついサイダー。帰路はすいすい3時間で。明日はゆっくりかな。
Silver week - consecutive holidays of autumn. we have five consecutive holidays as soon as children's summer vacation finally ended. It is the second day today. we went to Himeji Castle in haste it was the World Heritage had been selected the first domestic production. we were rolled in the Takarazuka congestion of customary delaying the departure in the morning, and it ..movement of two hours.. took four hours. Because the weather was clear weather, it did not rot too much and it was possible to drive. I went once in Himeji Castle in my student's age. Those who went sightseeing were jammed in the castle that had come after a long time. The Castle having white wall is in the azure blue that shines and is still beautiful. The balance of the roof of the castle tower is exquisiteness, and the stone basement wall becomes order random, holds a castle, and is mysterious no matter how it sees. Going into the castle is finished, and we felt thirsty then we drank "Himeji Castle soda pop". Soda pop with tight nostalgic carbonic acid in old times (the 1955's). we backed lightly .we spent on one's way back in three hours.I will spend tomorrow in relaxed manner.

そして今年も北へ then, this summer we went to North Japan

沖縄旅行が廃案となり,この休みはどうしようかと悩んでましたが,息子の一言で,急遽(前日だ),北海道の礼文島へ。日本海側で最北端の島。近所に住んでいながら一度も行っていなかった島。高山植物の宝庫で,お花がきれいな時期でした。地震や水害を感じさせないひととき。写真は空からの利尻島。礼文島の桃岩と猫岩。礼文島の花。道道106号線で見た牧草ロール。墓参り前日は旧友たちとWINEで酒盛り。ちょっと飲み過ぎだ。お一人様2本・・・・みたいな。今日で休みも終わり明日から仕事。年々休み明けは辛い。





The trip to Okinawa becomes an unemployed plan, and I worried because of this rest what about we should do. For a single phrase of my son, in haste (It is the day before) ,We went to the Rebun-island of Hokkaido. It is a northernmost island on the Sea of Japan side. I am an island that had never been visited though it has lived close by in the past. The island was a treasure house of the alpine plant, and the flower was beautiful time. the earthquake and flood damage are not felt. The photograph is Rishiri-island from the sky. Momoiwa(Peach Rock) and Nekoiwa(Cat Rock)of Rebun-island. Flower of Rebun-island. Pasture roll seen in on the way the 106th line. I had had a drinking bout with WINE with old friends on the day before it visited a grave of parents. We drank WINE too much for a moment. two-bottles one person ・・・・ To the way.. My vacation ends today, too and I will work from tomorrow again. Yearly, I feel the rest dawning painful.

夏の風物 Things of summer

今年は梅雨が長い。いつもは7月中旬の祇園祭を境に雷鳴轟き,夏がやってくる。でも今年は雷鳴轟き過ぎて,ゲリラ雷雨,場所によっては竜巻と日本の夏らしくない。
もう8月に入ったのに照りつける日差しも少なく,多雨で雷におびえる日々になりつつある。そのすきま隙間を狙って遊びに出かけるのだが,なかなか難しい。釣りも1度だけ。釣果もほとんどなし。

天神祭は行きそびれたが,昨夜のPL花火は楽しんだ。写真じゃ電柱が邪魔になっているが,近くで見られたからその音響と視野いっぱいに広がる花火に圧倒されました。昨年の東京の江戸川花火より規模が小さく感じられたし,往年より派手さは無くなったが,やはり近くでみる花火ではPLの花火は関西では圧巻。1時間はあっという間。行きも帰りも渋滞はそれほどでもなく,楽しめました。さあて再来週はどうしよう。実はまだ,沖縄行きが決まらない。

The rainy season is long this year. It will always come here on the boundary of Gion-Matsuri(festival) with thunder in the middle of July. This year , however it not seeming usual, is a tornado and be summer of Japan according to the guerrilla thunderstorm and the place. The sunlight that blazes though another August came is also a little, and every day at the time of which it is frightened to the thunder because of the frequent rain is coming. It is quite difficult though we goes out to have a good time aiming at the good condition climate. Fishing also : only by one degree. Most fishings are none. we enjoyed last night's PL fireworks though the Tenjin-Matsuri(festival) missed going. It was overwhelmed to fireworks that extended to the sound and full view because it had been seen in the vicinity though the power utility pole was obstructive in the photograph. I felt in Kansai, fireworks of PL are masterpieces in fireworks still seen in the vicinity smaller than Edogawa fireworks of last year's Tokyo scales though gay disappeared in the past. One hour pasted instant. Be able it to go, to return, and to enjoy that it was not even too much by congestion. Ahhh,Let's very do the week after next . It has not decided for Okinawa actually yet.

難波八阪の船渡御 ship festival of NambaYasaka-Shrine

 今日は久しぶりにミナミにお出かけ。東急ハンズへ物色に。気に入る雑貨やエクササイズ用のゴムチューブなど買いまして。お隣GAPでは気に入る半パンはなく。もうやはりオヤジには、papasやunitedarrowsみたいな年齢にあったやや重めの(高めの)品じゃないとナカナカあわせるのは無理だな。何着ても似合うのは,若さ故なのだよね。それから息子のゲームソフトを買うのに、心斎橋から千日前まで歩いて!(このクソ暑い中を良くまぁ・・・)ビックカメラへ。久々にみるおっそろしい人ごみ。途中、引っ掛け橋(えびす橋です)で、太鼓の音に何やら橋上はわーわー。宵の準備なのか二艘の船が西へ。今日は梅雨はどこへやらの天気でしたので、夜は賑やかなるんだろな。夕方には田舎の自宅に戻り,ワンコ(Coco)と田んぼ道を散歩さ。さて休日はおしまい。





Today,we went to Minami of Osaka to after a long time. At first we went shopping to the "TokyuHANDS" .I bought liked miscellaneous goods.and we went to next building store"GAP". I searched my cloths(half jeans-pants),but i couldn't fine my favorite pants. for an old young(!) man it is difficult to put on GAP's cloth. perhaps,we might be suited better brand of "papas"or"UnitedArrows"(these are expensive and worthly goods). No matter what young-men put it on, they suit well. cause they are YOUNG. Then we went to brought a a software of TVgame ,we walked from Shinsai-bashi to Sennichimae.(it is crazy for walking in hot hot weather). To after a long time, I couldn't see the clouded people. on the way, at HIkkake-bashi(Ebisu-bashi bridge) we heard drums sounds, and many people made noisy on the bridge. forward West two ships passed on the river(Douton-bori) for prepared night festival.today it is fair not rainy day. certainly many people might rise in the festival tonight. then we backed (country) home at evening,and walked around with my dog("Coco") on the crop field road.it is so good. ok see ya, good night my holiday.

のんびりな日曜  Calm Sunday

梅雨時期真っ盛りなのに,そう大して雨も降らず。湿っていながらも気持ちいい風が吹いていた。ここんとこゴロゴロとして何気なく家事もしてお休みが過ぎていく。急いていた東京の毎日と違って若干漠とした不安を覚えているのは,まだこっちのペースに慣れていないのかな。さて,iMacはもう何年目になったかな。2004年11月にきてからだから,もう5年目も近い。OSもPantherからTiger,Leopardと変えてきたし。でも最後のpowerpcだから次のsnowleopardにはアップできないな。intel機も魅力なんだけどね。まだ買い換えはどうかな。もうちょい使いたいしね。HDDがへたったら,SSDにして静音化できるかな。HDDじゃ熱もあってCPUがうまく冷えないからFANの音がものすごいからね。でもまだSSDが高いんだよね。それに128GB以上のSLCがないからな。MLCじゃプチフリするようだし。寿命もあるから映像系には威力なさそうだし。いろいろ考えどころだ。まあでも当分がんばって頂きやしょう。あ,やけに専門(オタク)的な話になっちゃったな。(笑) だって娘がMacbookPro&CS4が必要になると言うからさ。ちょっといろいろ考えちゃうんだよね。
今日は娘が愛犬Cocoを洗ってくれました。もうしっかり成犬になった。早いもんだなぁ。まだまだへたれだけれど可愛い奴です。





It doesn't rain very much so though it is a rainy season time climax either. A wind pleasant though it was damp blew. Housework is casually done , lying about lately and the holidays passes. My feelings were hasty of my life in Tokyo and I think whether some feels rough uneasiness because of not having become accustomed to a pace here yet. Then, how many years has iMac already come in my home? After it comes in November, 2004, it is already near during year fifth. MacOSX has been changed from Panther with Tiger and Leopard. However, because the last powerpc it, it is possible to improve to the following newOS "snowleopard". The intel machine is a charm. But,I can't a new machine still. I want to use this machine a bit... When HDD breaks down, it would exchanges it for SDD. Because it has a fever in HDD and CPU doesn't get cold well, the sound of FAN is terrible. However, SSD is still expensive. SLC of 128GB or more. doesn't sell still . It seems to occer puci-freeze(a short freeze) it in MLC. It seems not to be power in the making movie. it is not longevity, too. I think variously much. my machine works for me for a long time . probably I have told to explain a very special ( almost OTAKU)..(laugh) Because my daughter says that she will need MacbookPro & CS4. It thinks for a moment variously.
The daughter washed our pet dog "Coco" today. It has grown up early... It is a lovely fellow but is timid a bit.
