楽しかった「バク」でのひととき

　只今、高崎の「バク」から帰宅しました。いつもと同様に、二次会は行かなかったので今宵は大目に見てくださいね。ちゃんと電車で帰って来ました。

　とても充実した2時間が過ごせました。ブログのコメンテーター「時計屋の隣さん」も見え、話に花が咲き、というのは私が彼に「奥様との馴れ初め」など質問したことから燃え上がり、彼は動揺してしまいました。

　実は、今日「吉井ドリームセンター」のお風呂に入ってから「バク」に行ったので、生ビールの味は一入でした。美味しいと感ずるのは健康のバロメーターと思います。もう暫くは飲みに出かけませんで、明日からは家で寂しく一人で飲みます。あぁ、何という人生なのか。

Dear my friends abroad

　I just returned from the tavern named "Baku" in Takasaki. As usual, I didn't go to the second arty, so please take it easy tonight. I came home by train.

　I had a very productive two hours." A blog commentator, watch-maker Tokei-ya no Neighbor, also came and we had a lively conversation, because when I asked him questions like "How did you get acquainted with your wife?" So he was upset.

　Actually, I went to "Baku" after taking a bath at "Yoshii Dream Center today, so I have much taste for draft beer. I think that feeling delicious is a barometer of health. I won't go out drinking for a while, and from tomorrow I will be alone at home and drink alone. Oh what a sad life.

倉賀野町上４地区「長寿会お知らせ版」より

　私の家の前は倉賀野町上4地区の集会所「ふるさと」です。そこには掲示板があり、いろいろの案内が張り出されます。

　今回、私は上四地区長寿会のお知らせ版に、とても愉快な「シルバー川柳」を発見しました。皆さんにも、高齢者の切実なるお気持ちを汲んで戴きたいと思います。

　ご本人は笑うどころか、内心は、きっと真剣な面持ちなのでしょう。

Dear my friends abroad who like epigram

　In front of my garden is the "Furusato" meeting place in Kami 4 District, Kuragano-Town, Takasaki-city. There is a bulletin board with various information for people near here.

　This time, I found a very funny "Silver Senryu" that means witty epigrammatic Japanese poem containing seventeen syllables in the newspaper of the Kami 4 district longevity association. I would like all of you to taste and understand the earnest feelings of the elderly.

　Far from laughing, I'm sure they have a serious expression in their heart."

真剣に 健康志向 中高年

　昨日の午前中、３～４年ぶりで、家から３～４Ｋ離れてる「群馬の森」に行きましたら、あまりにも多くの中高年の人たちが真剣にウォーキングしているので驚きました。やはり、この不確実の時代を生き抜くには何と言っても足腰の健康、そして心肺機能の確実な脈動を切に願っていることが分かります。

　今回、私も森の中を端から端まで歩いたところ、「群馬の森」の中は道がよく整備され、かなり広いことが分かりました。

 　途中に、ご覧の日時計があり、珍しいのでよく観察しまたが、確かにこの時間である１１時過ぎを示しています。ところで、皆さん、この日時計は何台あるでしょうか。一見して一台のようですが、「三台ある」と言っても正解です。理由は、日時計のことを英語でサンダイアルと言うからです。

Dear my friends in foreign nations and Japan

 When I went to "Forest of Gumma" where is 3-4km away from my house for the first time in 3-4 years yesterday before noon, I was surprised that too many middle-aged and older people were walking seriously. After all, in order to survive this uncertain era, I could understand that the people are desperately hoping for the health of our legs and feet, of course including the reliable pulsation of cardiopulmonary function.

 This time, when I walked through the woods from end to end, I found that the roads in "Forest of Gumma" were well maintained and the forest is quite spacious.

 Not change the subject ,but there is a sundial on the way, which is rare, so I often observed it, but it certainly shows that this time is past 11 o'clock. By the way, how many sundials are there? At first glance, it looks like one, but it is also an correct answer that there are three. The reason is that the apparatus is called Sundial in English. The pronunciation of sundial means that there are three in the language of Japan.

今チャンス エアコン止めて 換気して

　写真は近くの家にある石像です。家の手伝いをしながら、読書をしてる勤勉の見本のような二宮金次郎が、今の時代にいたら感染予防のため、このようにマスクして頑張るのでしょう。

　ところで、統計を見ると、コロナ禍は夏や冬に感染が多くなる傾向です。この原因は、私たちは涼しさを求めたり、温かさを求めてエアコンが効き、換気の悪い狭い部屋に多くの人と密集するからでしょう。

　いよいよ秋になります。新鮮な空気に溢れてる広い野山で自然を満喫しましょう。あるいは、これからの季節が感染症の蔓延防止のチャンスかもしれません。

Dear my overseas friends

 The photo indicates a stone statue in a nearby house. If Mr. Kinjiro Ninomiya who is like a diligent sample of reading while helping the housework. If he lives in this era, he will do his best with his mask to prevent infection.

 By the way, looking at the statistics, coronavirus infections tend to increase during summer and winter season. Perhaps the reason is that we seek coolness, warmth by air conditioning, and crowds with many people in narrow and poorly ventilated room.

 It's finally autumn in Japan. Let's enjoy nature in a wide field full of fresh air. If possible, the coming autumnal season may be an opportunity to prevent the spread of infectious diseases.

才能ある人逝く

　訃報には驚きました。コメディアン志村けんさんの素晴らしさは、日本語が分からない外国の子供たちにも、その面白さがよく分かる演技にあります。以前に我が家にホームステーしてたニュージーランドの小学生の女の子が彼のテレビ番組を見て転げ回るように面白がっていたのを思い出します。

　才能ある人は、このように万国に通じる力を持ち合わせているのでしょう。テレビでお馴染みで親しみのある方が亡くなると、世界はもちろん、日本中で心底より悲しんでいる方がいっぱいです。

　志村けんさんは今日から始まったNHK朝ドラ「エール」で山田耕筰の役として出演予定で、すでに幾度か収録済みと言われます。 合掌。

 I was surprised at the obituary. The greatness of Mr. Ken Shimura lies in his performances as a comedian that foreign children who do not understand Japanese, can easily understand his fun. I recall that a New Zealand elementary school girl student who had been home staying at my home before, was interested in watching his TV show and she was rolling around in his funny performance.

 A gifted person has such an universal power. When familiar person dies on TV, many people in the world, as well as in Japan, are saddened from the bottom of their hearts.

 Mr. Ken Shimura is scheduled to appear in the role of the music composer Kosaku Yamada in the NHK morning drama "Yell" that started today, and it is said that he has already recorded several times. Warship.

２０１８年美肌グランプリで第1位は島根県です。第２位は秋田県、第３位は石川県です。昨年の第１位は富山県です。我が群馬県は２年連続して最下位の４７位です。日本海側の人は肌が良いのでしょう。その点、群馬県は空っ風の影響でしょうか。不名誉な結果です。私も肌の手入れをしよう。

ところで、この件について、このブログにコメントくださる友人が、この度、読売新聞のＵＳＯ放送に掲載されました。誠におめでとうございます。

　The number one in the beautiful skin Grand Prix in Japan 2018 is Shimane prefecture. The second is Akita prefecture, the third is Ishikawa prefecture. Last year's number one was Toyama Prefecture. Our Gumma prefecture is ranked 47th in the lowest ranking for 2 consecutive years. People on the side of the Sea of Japan may have good skin. On that point, is Gumma prefecture influenced by the dry wind? It is disgraceful result. I will take care of my skin as well. By the way, a friend who comments on my blog was posted on the USO broadcast of the Yomiuri Newspaper about this. congratulations.
