友より備前の花器、文箱、お重、など沢山いただく。雅な空気が流れる。We received Bizen vases, letter boxes, Japanese lacquer ware boxes etc. from a friend of mine. There is an elegant atmosphere at home.

近代建築見直し作業。月に1回2時間間でやっていた打ち合わせが、終わらなくなって２週に1回3時間やるようになった。しかしやっぱり終わらず、ついに来週から毎週やることになった。年内に目次を完成させるために。Modern architecture review work. The meetings that used to last for two hours once a month became endless and started once every two weeks for three hours starting at 9 a.m. However, it still didn’t end, and I finally decided to do it every week starting next week. To complete the table of contents by the end of the year.

ギターは音を順に消していかねばならないことを今日初めて知った。どうやったら前の音が消えるかというと、指をフレッドから離すと弦の振動が止まるので音が消える。しかるに私が習熟していたヴァイオリンは弓を離せば音が消えるので指は指板からなるべく離さないように教わる。うーん同じ弦楽器でもこの差は大きい。Today, I learned for the first time that I have to mute the sounds on the guitar one after the other. How do you make the previous sound disappear? When you remove your finger from Fred, the string stops vibrating, so the sound disappears. However, on the violin, I was learning the sound would disappear if you let go of the bow, so the teacher taught me to keep my fingers as close to the fingerboard as possible. Well, there is a big difference even with the same stringed instrument.

勘違いして3泊分の食材を買ってきた。使いきれなかった野菜は冷凍しておこう。かぼちゃ、玉葱、トマト、ごぼう、椎茸。I mistakenly bought enough food for three nights. Freeze any vegetables you can’t use. Pumpkin, onion, tomato, burdock, shiitake mushroom.

昨日1株100円で2株買った赤い綺麗な小さな花はなんと言う名前だろう？夏に植えたラベンダーの隣に植えた。What are the names of the beautiful small red flowers that I bought for 100 yen each yesterday? I planted it next to the lavender I planted in the summer
