May 5th


こどもの日。
カラッと晴れました、こんな青空久しぶり。
気温は朝はまだマイナス5℃。午後になって8℃まであがりました。
でも、今夜と水曜日から週末はこりずにまた雪、みたいです。
It's Children's Day in Japan (May 5th).
It has been sunny beautifully from this morning, but it says that we will have more snow tonight... and late this week too... :(

英国で住んだ1年、頼りにしていた英語の会話本に「人々は天気の話を良くする」とか「天気の話をきっかけに会話をすすめる」と書いてあって、まだあの頃は若かった(16年前)から、天気なんて話題にしてもねぇ。。おばあちゃんじゃないんだから。。って思ったのをすごく良く覚えてます。
でも、気づけば学校で会う保護者や先生、道で会う知り合いとも、このブログでも天気のことばっかり話してる私。今日も天気の話、何回したかなぁ。。(苦笑)歳をとったなぁ。。。私。
早く「とってもいいお天気ね!」って言いたいものです。
When I lived in England, my English-Japanese conversation book suggested that if I wanted to have conversations with people, start talking about weather. At that time I was young(16 years ago) and I didn't care about weather much, I thought why people liked to talk about weather.
But now, I talk about weather EVERYDAY! with people at school, on sidewalk, and at home...and at this blog too! ;)  I have been waiting for a chance to say "What a gorgeous day, today!"    

さぁ、うちにとってはとっても珍しく予定がいっぱいな一週間が始まります。と言っても母さんは「がんばれ、がんばれ」と、おやつを作って持たせて送り迎えと見学をするだけ。
ジュリはワクワクだそうです。
We will have an unusual eventful week this week. Juliett is very excited. :)

Hi, SJB.
Thank you for your comment, we are having a light now again right now. :(

Juliett started attending the annual play(musical) that came from the U.S. today and she will be practicing her role for a week. This week will be busy but very exciting!
I hope you will have a good week, hope it will get warmer day by day.
