寂しさこの上ないセルフレジ

　皆さんが仕事中であるのに、今日も午後になって吉井の日帰り温泉に行ったり、喫茶店でリラックスしていて申し訳ありません。どちらも私一人でした。ただ、身体を温めることは血流が良くなり、健康維持の基本と考えてます。

　その後、喫茶「さんぽ道」では１時間ほど本を読み、その後、ママさんとも暫し話すチャンスがあり有意義でした。一方、毎日行く倉賀野のスーパーは今日から殆どがセルフになってしまい、レジの女性と話す機会を楽しみにしていた私には精神面でマイナスとなり、困ったものです。

　何でも機械化は便利でしょうが、人間としての交流が激減します。

Dear my friends

　I apologize for going to a day spa in Yoshii and relaxing at a coffee shop this afternoon while everyone was at work. I was alone in both. However, I believe that warming the body improves blood circulation and is fundamental to maintaining good health and longevity.

　Afterwards, I read a book for about an hour at the coffee shop "Sampo-michi," and then had a chance to chat with the owner Mama for a while, which was very meaningful. On the other hand, the supermarket in Kuragano-town that I go to every day has become self-resister from today, which is a mentally negative experience for me, as I was looking forward to talking to the cashier, therefore it's a problem.

　Mechanization of everything may be convenient economically, but it has drastically reduced human interaction, and for living alone, it has made me feel extremely lonely. I will look for new ways to find joy in the future.
