Guitar
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
My nine-year-old daughter has been asking me a lot lately if she can play the guitar.
I used to be in a music band.
When I asked her what kind of songs she wanted to play, she replied, “I don’t know.
When I ask her what kind of songs she wants to play, she says
“When I asked her what song she wanted to play, she said she wanted to play “Marigold” (J-Pop) by Aymyon.
I let her use my guitar and taught her how to play some simple notes.
I left for a while and went back to check on her.
My daughter said, “Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. ！！！！
She wasn’t playing the guitar, she was holding the guitar and doing a headbang.
She didn’t play the guitar, but was banging her head with it, banging her head up and down to the rhythm.
She wanted to be a rock star.
It made me think that she was my daughter after all.

Fava bean
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
I have been drinking at home more and more often in my stay-home working, and the amount of snacks I eat has inevitably increased, and my weight has been steadily increasing.
One day, I went to the supermarket and saw some fava beans on sale, so I bought some, boiled them in salted water and ate them.
Speaking of fava beans, I remember when I was little, I asked my parents why they were called “fava beans”.
The answer was that they were named “soramame” because they looked like they were looking up at the sky. ( SORA means SKY by Japanese )
I’m embarrassed to say that I have never actually seen a real one until I reached this age, and I thought it was a joke.
I thought it was a joke, but when I went to the countryside( My home town ) recently, I was so surprised to see the fruits growing beautifully upward.
I was so surprised to see them growing upwards. I was told that they are in season right now, so I got a lot of them.
One of the trivia about fava beans is that Chiba Prefecture boasts one of the highest yields in Japan.
As nutrients, they are rich in minerals such as sodium, magnesium, phosphorus, and iron.
They also contain vitamin B1, which promotes the secretion of digestive juices, vitamin B2, which helps build mucous membranes, and vitamin C, which helps prevent colds and fatigue.
It also contains vitamin C, which is effective in preventing colds, relieving fatigue, and treating rough skin.

Healing Music

Do you ever have trouble sleeping at night when there is no sound?
That’s exactly what I do, and for the 20 to 30 minutes before I fall asleep
In the days when I didn’t have a smartphone, I used to listen to background music for sleep on my phone.
When I didn’t have a smart phone
When I didn’t have a smartphone, I used to rent CDs renting from TSUTAYA.
However, I got tired because I have a habit of looking around carefully every time.
Or I would choose something bizarre like Gagaku because it was a rare opportunity.
However, I was tired because I had a tendency to look around carefully every time, and I also chose bizarre things such as Gagaku because it was an occasional opportunity, so it was not really suitable for sleeping.
Nowadays, we live in a particularly stressful situation and society.
I would like to try to get a good night’s sleep in order to maintain my health.
I want to make sure that I get a good night’s sleep.

Lessons Learned at cramming school
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
The other day, I came across the results of a survey on children’s lessons.
According to the results of the survey, the most common lesson is cram school for both boys and girls.
According to the results of the survey, the most popular lessons for both boys and girls were cram school, followed by swimming, English conversation, soccer/football, and music for boys.
The second most popular lessons for boys were swimming, English conversation, soccer/football, and music, followed by music, swimming, English conversation, and calligraphy for girls.
When I was a child, I didn’t have many friends around me who were learning English conversation.
It seems that with the times, lessons are becoming more and more globalized.
By the way, my eldest son is taking abacus and kendo.
Unfortunately, he didn’t rank in either of them….
Unfortunately, neither of them made the list.

UBONGO
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
Recently, my wife found a board game on the internet.
a board game on the internet.
and bought it through the internet for our family.
http://gp-inc.jp/boardgame_ubongo.html
It’s like Tetris.
You have to put the pieces together
and fit them on the board.
(There is always an uneven surface somewhere.
(There is always an unevenness somewhere.
There are always some unevenness, so it’s not easy to clear the board.
And when you’re done
“Ubongo!
When it’s done, I shout, “Ubongo!
It is something that trains your intuition.
The game is designed to train your intuition.
You can play against up to four players.
The problems are always different for each player.
The problems are always different for each player.
So
You can’t cheat or do anything like that.
You can’t do anything like cheating.
The only thing you can rely on is your own mind.
Even if you finish first
Even if you finish first
Even if you finish first, it’s fun to think together with your partner.
There are two types of puzzles: 3-piece puzzles for beginners
There are two types of puzzles, one with 3 pieces for beginners and one with 4 pieces for advanced players.
There are two types of puzzles.
If you are not used to it, you will have a hard time even with 3 pieces.
My brother (the eldest son) was used to it.
He did it with 4 pieces.
At first, I did 3 pieces
My brother did it in 4 pieces.
It was a handicap game.
I was losing by a comfortable margin.
It’s like any game.
It’s like any other game, but when you play it together, the conversation spreads.
It’s a pretty simple and straightforward game.
I’d like you to try it once.
You’ll be hooked.

Pineapple
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
What are “suicide” and “other death” of Taiwanese pineapples (phoenix pears)?
Recently, I’ve seen many Taiwanese pineapples on supermarket shelves.
It has been reported in Japan that Taiwanese pineapples have been banned from being exported to China.
So it seems that they are changing to exporting from Taiwan to Japan.
I would like to introduce Taiwan’s pineapple culture here.
In Taiwan, having a store cut pineapples and other fruits, so-called cut fruits, is called “suicide.
Cutting them at home is called “suicide. These expressions are common among Taiwanese people.
In Taiwanese stores, “suicide” costs a little more.
It’s the same as how cut fruits are a bit expensive in supermarkets in Japan.
When it comes to Taiwanese fruits, mangoes (芒果) and lychees (茘枝) are typical.
These days, you can sometimes find jujubes, lychees, and lotus root.

Chiba City Animal Park
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
Chiba City Animal Park has started to use the meat of wild boars that have been exterminated in Chiba Prefecture as food for predators such as lions and hyenas.
I heard that Chiba City Zoological Park, my home spot, has started this project.
This is expected to help carnivores regain their senses and instincts in the wild.
In addition, more than 90% of the wild boars captured are buried or incinerated, so the purpose of this project seems to be to make effective use of the earth’s resources.
I thought this was a very good initiative for the animals in captivity.
When a male lion at the Chiba City Zoo was given a chunk of meat with fur and bones still attached, he chewed the bones with a crunching sound and licked the meat around with his throat.
The lion’s throat rumbling is “an unusual reaction,” he said.
I have been a wild man for more than 40 years, and I have never seen a lion make a throat sound at the sight of food.
I’ve heard that zoos in Japan feed carnivores meat that has been processed to remove bones and other parts of the animal, which is nutritionally adequate.
Some zoos in Japan feed meat-eating animals meat that has been processed to remove the bones and other parts of the animal, which is nutritious enough, but it is also said to be causing the animals to lose their natural psychological needs for foraging, such as chewing off the skin and crushing the bones.
In an attempt to improve the environment in which the animals are kept, “carcass feeding,” in which the meat is fed with the bones and skin still attached, has been attracting attention in recent years.
The Chiba Zoological Park focused on wild boars, which are captured as pest animals, as a candidate for feeding, and started to consider introducing this method a year and a half ago.
I try to feed my 13 turtles (I got one from a stranger the other day, so the number has increased) as much as possible with live food.
The representative of the live food is earthworms.
There is a worm spot in my neighborhood that I discovered when I was a boy, and on holidays I take my children there to catch worms.
This time of year, I can easily catch about 30 thick worms in five minutes.
When I get home and feed the worms to the turtles, I can see the color of their eyes change.
They chase and bite the worms like they are in a race.
You can see the wild blood rushing through their veins.
My children also love to feed worms to the turtles, and although the scene is quite brutal, I observe it with great interest.
As a parent, I’m a little worried that the brutal scenes will affect the children’s personality development.
I also discovered last year that turtles, which are said to be herbivores, also eat worms.
The turtles, which usually eat wild grasses and vegetables, are clumsy, but they chase and eat worms.
I am sure I will be haunted by worms.
