it was well over 30 degrees at 6 o'clock in the evening at Shinjuku. I really hate the rainy season, but it was a good season this year as it was cool without rain... hot!!
Today the JMA announced the end of the rainy season (tsuyu season) for the Kanto area and many other areas in the west and as expected, the day was hot and sweaty. I wish I was at a beach somewhere as it was Ocean Day (umi no hi) today.
It would have been lethal to go out in the afternoon, so I decided to swarm around with a bunch of shoppers in Shinjuku in the evening.
...Then I had a call from my elder colleague at around 6:30 as I was instructed to go to Shinagawa and have a small farewell party at his brand new apartment.
...Had too much Imo Jochu (shochu made from imo=distilled clear liquor using sweet potatoes as the main ingredient) and I'm not sure if I can wake up tomorrow...
Good night... Zzz...
写真：新宿では、夕方６時になっても余裕で３０度を超えていた。梅雨の季節は大嫌いだけど、今年は雨が降らない涼しい気候で結構良かった…。暑い！！
きょう、気象庁は関東や西のたくさんの地域で雨の季節（梅雨）が終わったことを発表した。そして予想通り、暑く、汗ばむ一日だった。どこかのビーチにいたらなぁと思った。きょうは海の日だったんで。
昼間に外に出るのはたぶん殺人行為だったんで、夕方に新宿で、買い物客の群衆と一緒にうろつくことにした。
…そしたら、６時半頃に先輩から電話が入って、品川に来るよう指示された。先輩の新品のマンションで小さな送別会のために。
…芋焼酎を飲み過ぎて、あした起きられるかどうかわからん…。
お休み…。ぐぅぐぅ…。
(today's words)
rainy season 雨の季節
梅雨は英語でこういうしかないようで。
梅自体、訳しにくい。ume?Japanese Apricot?
Apricotじゃねぇよなぁ。Plumも間違いらしい。
ま、とりあえず雨の季節ということで、
Japanese style rainy seasonがいいとこでしょうか？
