Kotani #2

先日、約１年振りの「KOTANI」へ。

出張帰り、新幹線に乗る前の僅かな時間を使っての訪問だったので、
短い時間しか居られなかったのだけれど、
それでもお店の中をぐるぐると回って、
海と時を越えてやって来たものたちを眺めるのは、楽しい時間でした。

また行くね。

I visited KOTANI the other day, and it’s been almost one year since I was there last time.

At that time, I had a train to catch because I was going back home from a business trip.
So I only had a short time there. Even so, I enjoyed looking around her shop where there were full of lovely stuff brought from overseas and being beyond time.

Hope to be there agai soon.

Flowers in the sky

夜空に咲き誇る大輪の花たち。

そろそろ、夏の終わり。

Beautiful flowers in the summer sky. 

The summer is coming to an end.

Heat wave

猛暑日が続いた東京。都心部では37度を記録。
でも実は、梅を干そうと思っていた私にとっては恵みの太陽でした。
ただ、問題が一つ。

連日の突然の夕立！

梅が濡れては台無しと、ここ何日かはあまり遠出せず、近所で過ごしました。
まあ私にとっては、忙しいシーズンに突入する前の、調度良い休みだったのかもしれません。


A heat wave has continued here.

Temperatures in central Tokyo have topped 37 degrees Celsius. Actually, I appreciated that strong summer sun because I was thinking of beginning drying pickled plums under the sun.
But the problem was, sudden evening shower!

So, for the last few days, I spent most of my time in my neighborhood and kept my eyes on my plums, just in case of a sudden shower.

Well, I guess it was good for me to take a rest before my busy season starts again.
