今日は楽しいバス旅行

【拡大してご覧ください。】

　庭は一年の中でも今が最も色彩豊かでしょう。若いとき音楽以外にあまり興味が起こらなかった私ですが、花が好きだった両親の年齢に達した今、その遺伝子が蘇ってます。音楽も楽器によって音色がいろいろですが、同じ楽器でも演奏者によって音色に微妙な個性があります。よく観察すると、同様に、同じ花も全く同じ色彩でなく、花柄も含め微妙に違います。

　写真の藤は紫と言い、花の枝垂れ具合と言い、見ていると心豊かになります。しかも、年々より見事になる気配です。不思議なことに、その見事な姿を見定めるまで、私自身が健康長寿でいなければならないと自覚します。そのためには気分が良くても深酒をやめ、筋肉をつける運動を習慣づけ、家庭で作った料理を食べ、自分のことは自分でする強固な意志が必要だと悟ります。

　今日は気候も良く県庁その他へバス旅行ですが、その前に、小学生の交通指導があり、また、すべての植物の成長促進を期し、これから勢いよく水遣りです。実は、今日は私にもあった結婚記念日です。先日お祭りだった倉賀野神社で式を挙げました。現役時代は毎年、今日が給料日だったので、何とはなしに夕食が良かったです。

　人は男であろうと女であろうと、基本的には一人で生きていかねばなりません。しかし、今日のバス旅行は珍しく大勢の人と行くので、いろいろの人と交流し、孤独な平素の生活とはかけ離れた新たな世界観に浸りたいです。

Dear my friends who are crazy about encountering new world and great music.

　The simultaneous interpretation into English for your understanding will be done after my breakfast in Japan time.

　The garden is probably at its most colorful right now. When I was young, I didn't have much interest than music, but now that I've reached the age of my parents, who loved flowers, that gene has been revived. Music has a variety of tones depending on the instrument, but even the same instrument has subtle individuality in the tones depending on the player. Similarly, the same flower is not exactly the same color, and there are subtle differences, including the floral pattern, if I look closely.

　The wisteria in the photo is purple, and the flowers is drooping so rich to look at. Moreover, it seems to more beautiful year by year. Strangely, I realize that I have to be healthy and long-lived until I can see its beautiful appearance. To do this, I realize that I need to stop drinking heavily even when I feel good at that night, get into the habit of exercising to build muscles, eat home-cooked food, and have a strong will to take care of myself.

　Today is a nice day and we will be taking a bus trip to the prefectural office and other places, but before that, I will instruct elementary school students on their safety to go to school, and I will be vigorously watering all the plants to promote their growth. In fact, today is also my wedding anniversary. In ancient time I had my wedding ceremony at Kuragano-Shrine, where there was a festival the other day. Today was always payday when I was still working, so it felt good to have dinner than usual.

　Whether we're a man or a woman, people basically have to live alone. However, today's bus trip is unusual for me as I'm going with a large group of ladies, so I hope to interact with many different people and immerse myself in a new worldview that's far removed from my usual solitary life.
