Sardines 2020.10.03
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
The other day I went to a “SEA STATION” in Kujukuri.
I was surprised to find a water tank at the entrance
where are a lot of sardine swimming.
On the 1st floor,
there is a sales corner for fish and special products caught in Kujukuri,
and there is a sardine museum.
On the 2nd floor,
there is a dining room where fresh fish caught in Kujukuri is cooked,
and I ate lunch there.
The weather was nice this time,
so I bought some rice cooked with clams and ate it outside.
It was not spicy soysauce and delicious.
Lastly, I stopped by the souvenir corner,
and foound that anchovy with pickled sesame which was used to be cooked by my grandmother
when I was a kid.
The one of my besdt recommendation is the snails that were sold frozen.
Take it out with a toothpick and eat it with ginger soy sauce.
In the past,
it was a shellfish that was often catched in the past,
but the amount is decreasing year by year due to its vulnerable nature to rising water temperatures
of Global warming / climate change.

Gel cushion
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
The blue cushion I bought last time, “Gel cushion, health cushion,
Cool cushions, etc. “Purchased for 1,980 yen (excluding tax).
After purchasing it, I used it every day, and now my butt is in good condition.
There was one thing I wanted to try.
Whether an egg not breaks as it was written on the outer box …
I will go without a black cover as shown in the picture.
Wait, leave the egg as it is, and if it breaks, it will stain my pants and chair.
I wonder if there is something, so I decided to use a “zip lock”.
Bleed the air well, close the zip tightly, and let’s do it.
Ah, it’s not broken, the egg was safe.
But somehow I feel like I was sitting down very slowly, so I’ll try again.
I’ve sat down many times, but it’s still not cracked, isn’t it possible with my butt?
Bone skin butt? Muscle butt?
Anyway, it seems impossible with a normal butt like mine.
So this cushion is an excellent cushion that absorbs shocks, so I bought another one.
But I’m glad that I didn’t have to cook omelet.

the Bellmark movement
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
Do you know the Bellmark movement?
Collect bell-shaped marks on packages of sweets and stationery
It’s a movement to buy school equipment.
According to the Bellmark Foundation for Education,
the Bellmark movement has school facilities and teaching materials.
For the purpose of supporting schools affected by the disaster,
schools in remote areas, special needs schools, etc.
With the approval of the Ministry of
Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology in 1960,
the Asahi Newspaper Company took the lead.
It seems that the predecessor
“Educational Equipment Subsidy Association” was established.
Although it is such a bell mark,
the ones are subdivided according to the score and the supporting company
can be bought on website (app.)
As a background,
“reducing the burden of tabulation work by PTA”
seems to be one factor.
It seems that there is a demand from people
who think that it is quicker to purchase
if they spend time doing counting work.
A long time ago, my mother often said,
“Don’t throw away the utside package because it has a bell mark!”
I remembered that I had a troublesome feeling,
but now that I think about that silly exchange,
it became a good memory.
I feel a little lonely
that the time has come to buy the bell mark itself with money,
I hope that Bellmark will continue to change its shape with the times
and will be responsible for enhancing educational facilities near children.

From Izakaya to yakiniku restaurant
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
Izakaya is a Japanese-style pub. Watami, an izakaya chain, has announced that about 40% of its izakaya will be changed
to yakiniku (Japanese barbecue) restaurants.
Yakiniku is a popular style of barbecue in Japan.
In the Watami Group, the sales in September fell to about half of the previous year due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection.
Even if it ends, sales are expected to return to only 70% of the previous year.
Robots and lanes are used for cooking and serving at the yakiniku restaurant, and it is said that the contact
between the clerk and the customer can be reduced by about 80% compared with Izakaya. And so the risk of infection
with the new coronavirus is expected to decrease.

School Sports Day
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
My children have successfully completed the first sports day taken measures
against the spread of coronavirus infection.
In the case of my daughter who is in elementary school, students were divided into the group of
1st, 3rd, 5th grades and the group of 2nd, 4th, 6th grades.
It was held on the same day, but shifted the timing based on the two groups.
Their families were only allowed for the audience.
For my son who is in kindergarten, the event was held three times a day,
divided by grade (younger, middle, and eldest). The viewing was also limited to families.
Even in such situations to prevent the spread of infections, the children were into dancing or running,
and were shining brightly.
The sports day may change like this in the future,
but I felt that the pure attitude of children would not change forever.

Tokyo Hakone Round-Trip University Ekiden
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
So far Japanese New Year’s tradition,
Tokyo Hakone Round-Trip University Ekiden
will be held on January 2nd and 3rd next year as planned.
On the roadside for just two days,
more than 1 million spectators / audience were there.
I also had only these two days
leave the TV or radio on as
I’m running together in my heart.
To avoid “Three Cs” under the current situation,
the organizer will ask fans to refrain supporting along the roadside.
The passion for supporting the runners by audience / fans will reach them
even if you are far from the course and watching TV.
The organizer already requested the team members and cheering teams
to strongly refrain from supporting along the roadside.
Participating teams and management staff involved in the tournament will be checked
their physical condition and temperature from 2 weeks before the tournament,
Make sure there are no abnormalities.
It will may cancelled due to the future social situation.
But I am eager to hold it after all because drama happens every year.
