Hello everyone! Hope you are all doing well!

Spring Break has started, hope you are all getting a chance to relax and have some free time. For me, I’ve really liked to start going on evening walks, especially ones where I can watch the sunset. There are some great views in Ogaki, and it’s been a fun challenge to find the best spots to see these gorgeous sights! Just look at the colors!

What are some of your favorite nature views? Continue staying safe and have a good break!

映画を観る前に、そのタイトルを調べてみたら↑が出てきました。

あの有名なライカ（アメリカのアニメーション制作会社）の作品だし…ということで去年の年末、

あらすじも声優もチェックせずに観てきました！　もちろん◎でしたよ、おすすめです！

映画やドラマはナチュラルな表現を学ぶのにとても便利だと思います。

ぜひおうち時間を使ってお気に入りを見つけてみてください。

I realized this earlier today when I entered the meeting room, and it really hit hard for me．

I’m realizing how difficult it’s going to be not sharing each day with you, both at the workplace and outside.

I will miss these days so much. There have been so many years, students, lunches, dinners… and more things that will never be forgotten.

We have spent almost every day together this year, so it will be strange to imagine you in different work clothes.

You deserve to leave like the man you are. One of the most important friends in the group and personally.

It is disappointing to me that nothing has changed at all, but at this point nothing surprises me.

I wish you all the best in this new challenge.

See you soon friend.

One of the effects of climate change is more variable weather. Normally, in winter, you get winter weather, and that’s the end of the story. However, as CO2 levels rise and the climate becomes increasingly unstable, this previously straightforward fact of life becomes less and less certain. Take February 2021 for example.

The month started out as your typical, expected winter month: chilly, limited precipitation, and not much else to talk about.  Next thing I know, it’s pouring. Back to normal winter. Then suddenly, it was snowing like crazy. A few days after that, the temperature shot up and flowers started blooming. Only for everything to plummet back down a week later. The month of February has been a real roller coaster.

The following photos of Ogaki’s canals were all taken within days of one another. I do hope the weather can stabilize a bit more for a less bipolar spring.

ホワイトデイにフルーツタルトをもらいました。

英語では、a fruit tart　と書きます。

１２月から甘いもの続きです。

でも、チョコレートにはチョコレートの、クッキーにはクッキーの

おいしさがあるのでやはり飽きません。

タルトはみるからにおしゃれで、美しく食べるのが惜しくなるほどです。

さて、みんなは英語の書かれたＴシャツを持っていますか。友人が

買ったという白Ｔにはこんな英語が書かれていました。

Let’s make today count

これは今を大切に生きようという意味です。

震災も１０年がたち、ニュ―スを見るたび、命を大切に今日を

大切生きなくてはと思いますね。

タルトを食べて頑張ろうと思いました。

Ｔシャツとタルトが今週の私の話題でした！

みんなは、何で頑張れるかな？？
