Gold bar?

Is this a gold bar?



"What a rich person.
How much was it?"

"It's a small present I got at a business show. "

"You got? And free?
What did you do?"

"Nothing special, because..."



It's a gold tissue paper!

Sleepy morning

It might be common to some Japanese, but it was a sleepy morning yesterday because of watching the soccer game in the midnight on TV.

For me, I am still sleepy this morning.

Voluntary meeting

I attended a voluntary meeting of the apartment house I live.

It was about a plan how to keep our apartment building in good condition.

Today what happened in the meeting was the quality of the report that we ordered to a company for the maintenance plan.

Different people have different opinion... in general.

Shopping at Motomachi

After the birthday party, we went to Motomachi for shopping.

After the shopping we took a rest at a slow cafe and ordered a hot wine and a quiche.


The hot wine came with a cinnamon and was very good.

Lighting technology show 2

What I felt at the show:
(Including other technology show / parts expo held at the same place)

So many people. Economy seems better than before.

Most were Chinese. Some Korean. Few Japanese.
Many "Chinese translation" signs were seen.

For LED,
heat sink is important. In other words, the power efficiency seems not enough yet.
The Cold-Cathode FL seems better so far.

Can you believe this chandelier is also made of LED light?

Drank but not got drunk

A Japanese sake I got for shogatsu was good, so I bought it again.



The alcohol percentage of this sake is 20%, which is heavier than other sake.

I got drunk when I drank it before, but not, yesterday night.

Another blessings from a healthy body...?

Work style

After the Tuesday's success, my boss kindly advised our team to change our work style.

I understand that's "Time ecology".

I do not yet know what style suits best to me, but after trying a new style for a few days, I feel that at least a healthy body brings laugh to me and my family. Easy and positive thinking to me.

I think that's enough.
Let's continue this style.

Lily stole a meat!

It was a sudden accident.

When we finished our dinner, we were bringing back dishes to the sink.

At that time, a strange sound was coming from the living.

Crunch crunch crunch.

Oh no, Lily stole a meat and ate the bone!




Oh my golly...
