dogflowerflower2

Today's morning,I washed a car. And then...I took a walk around my house with my husband this afternoon. We saw many beautiful floweres and cute dog. The dog was really really smart and friendly. I wanna have such dog some day.

今朝は洗車した。それから午後、旦那さんと2人で近所を散歩。綺麗な花がい〜〜っぱい見れたし、超カワイイ犬に遭遇。ホントに賢くて人懐っこくていいわぁ〜〜♪いつか飼いたい!

 My husband got back from Tokyo by air plane yesterday. Then,we met at JR Shin-Yamaguchi staion and then,we went to see rice terrace to Yuya-cho,Nagato City,Yamaguchi Pref..
It is the most biggest rice terrace in western Japan. I heard that farmers usually let water flow to their in mid-May. But it was pretty beautiful yesterday. I love such a view. I wanna go there again.


昨日、旦那さんが東京から飛行機で帰ってきて、JR新山口駅で待ち合わせをし、山口県長門市油谷町に棚田を見に出かけました。ココの棚田は西日本最大級。田んぼに水を入れるのは5月中旬ごろと聞いてたんです。でも昨日でも十分綺麗でした。こんな風景大好き〜〜〜♪

 Last Sunday,the premier Fukuda came one shopping mall that I go there frequently. As you know,election day is this Sunday. But...I didn't know about it,so I couldn't see him.
And,Naoto Kan will come one park very near my house tomorrow. But I'm gonna go out whole day tomorrow,so I can't see him. Oh....I'm disappointed.
 Well,I'm not interested in them. I only want to see famous persons. hahaha.....
 By the way,my husband went to Tokyo from this morning. So I stay my house alone tonight. What should I do??


この前の日曜日に私がよく行くモールに福田首相が来てた。そう!投票日が近いから!でも知らなかったので見に行けなかった。そして明日は、家のすぐ横の公園へ管直人氏が来るらしい。。。でも明日は1日中用事があるので見れない。残念〜〜!
ま、別に政治家に興味があるわけではなく、ミーハーなだけですけど。
旦那さんが今朝から東京なので今夜は一人。何して過ごそうかな〜?

I baked a bread today. It looks good before removing from the case. But.....after that......as you see.
Umm.... bakeing is difficult very much.


今日は食パンを焼いた。型からはずす前はいい感じに見えるが・・・出したらこんな感じ(><)。やっぱり難しいわぁ〜〜。

I cooked them yesterday. They were pretty good. In fact,I hate seaweed,but I could have them.
My husband said "Oh!!! I can feel Spring." and he seemed happy. So,I was happy,too. I saw that It was not difficult to cook bamboo shoots. I will cook them next spring,too.


昨日作りました。(↑の写真)。まあまあ美味しかったです。実はワカメ大嫌いなんですけど、食べれました。旦那さんは「おぉ〜!春やなぁ〜!」って嬉しそうだったので、良かった♪それほど難しくないことが分かったので、来年もしようと思う。

 I parboiled bamboo shoots today for the first time in my life. Yesterday I bought this one at a supermarket. But I didn't know what shapes was good and what looks was good. So...I choose this one. And I looked some recipe on the net. Then,they almost said "boil it about 1hour." But it didn't become tender after one hour,so I boiled it over 2 hours. Is it OK?? Umm... I'm going to cook dish with seaweed tomorrow. Can I cook it?? I have to search the recipe,too.

 初めて生のタケノコを茹でました。昨日これをスーパーで買ったんだけど、どんな形のがいいのか?どんな見かけのがいいのか知らないので、コレをゲット。ネットでいろいろ調理法を調べたら、みんな1時間ほど茹でる・・・と書いてあったんだけど、1時間茹でてもあまり柔らかくなってなかったので2時間ちょっと茹でた。大丈夫かな〜?明日これで若竹煮を作る予定です。レシピを調べなくては・・・。

Finally,I appeared in the TV show today!! The proglam was "Town News."
This proglam was broadcasted twelve times a day. How embarrassing!! Besides,I looked older woman than I thought. Am I always so?? Am I really such a Obachan?? I was disappinted very much. Anyway,I videotaped it. Hahaha....


ついに私がテレビに出た〜!「タウンニュース」という番組です。この番組は1日に12回も放送されてるので恥ずかしい〜〜〜っっ!それに自分が思ってる以上におばちゃんっぽかった。。。
私って・・・いつもあんな感じなのか〜?ホントにあんなオバちゃんに見えてるの〜?ガッカリです。
まあ、とりあえず録画しといた。ハハハ・・・。

I went to see Cherry blossoms today,too. These photos were Tokusa-tenmangu shrine. It was famous for Shidare-zakura. It already passed peak of good,but it was not bad,I felt.

今日も桜を見に出かけた。この写真は・・・しだれ桜で有名な徳佐天満宮です。すでにピークは過ぎてたけど、なかなか良かったと思います。

 My husband's car had a safety inspection last Saturday. Usually,we waited at Tokuyama zoo near Lexus shop when such a day about for 2hours. But,this time,the inspection needed about 5 to 6hours. So,we had a loaner. The loaner car was more expensive than my car. Oh,I see.It was prot of car sales promotion. I heard that car was about 8,000,000yen. Whew! We never can get it.

先週土曜日、車を点検に持って行った。いつもなら点検時は2時間程度なので隣の徳山動物園で時間を過ごすのだけど、今回は5〜6時間かかるということで、代車を借りました。自分の車よりも代車の方が高級。。。(・_・;) 車を買い替えたくさせようという戦略だね〜〜(^_^;) でもこの車は800万ぐらいらしい。ヒャー!!! そんなん絶対買えません。

One man with TV camera called to me when I stopped at a red light today. It was my way home from super market.
He said "Could you answer a few questions for our cable broadcast?" I was surprised and asked him "What about??"
It was..about the traffic rights. Yeah,the system of the intersection was chenged the otehr day.
He said..."Ready...?"bfore I answered "Yes or No."
"Did you know about this system of traffic right change?"
"How do you think about it?"......etc. I answered them suitably. Does they use this?? I guess maybe no.
Anyway,I will check up the TV program "Town News"this evening.


買物の帰りに信号待ちしていたら、テレビカメラを担いだ男の人に声をかけられました。
「すみません〜ケーブルテレビですけど、インタビューに答えてもらえますか?」って言われたので、驚いて「何のですか?」って聞いたら、信号機についてでした。そこの交差点の信号機のシステムが最近変わったから。
そしたら、断る間もなく「いきま〜〜す」って言われて・・・
「信号機が変わったことをご存じでしたか?」
「変わってどう思われますか?」などと聞かれ、適当に答えました。
きっとこんなの使われないだろうと思いつつ・・・とりあえず今夜の「タウン・ニュース」でもチェックしよう〜っと(笑)

I went to see cherry blossoms two place yesterday. One of them was Kintaikyo-bridge. Regrettably,they still blossomed 70 to 80percent. But there were countless peaple and they had a lunch under the tree. And another one was the river side near my house. They were illuminated period now,so very beautiful!!

昨日は2か所に桜を見に行った。ひとつ目は錦帯橋。残念ながらまだ7〜8分咲きだったんだけど、すごいお花見客でした。もう一か所は近所の桜並木。今ライトアップ期間中でかなり素敵でした.

 How is it?? I took a picture at same place as yesterday. Umm...they are gradually getting bloom day by day. I heard that their best was already finished around Tokyo. Is it usual?? I have no idea.
昨日と同じ場所の写真を撮ってきました。う〜〜ん・・・ちょっとずつ開花している感じです。東京の方では既に見ごろが終っているみたいだけど、毎年そうでしたっけ?忘れた・・・。

    近所の桜-cherry blossoms of near my house

 It's still little cold,even though it's April these days. Then,I took this photo little while ago. There are row of cherry blossom trees near my house. They blossomes about 20 to 30 percent now. I guess...this weekend is at their best.

4月なのにまだ結構寒い。近所に桜並木があってさっき撮影してきたんだけど、まだ2〜3分咲き。きっと今週末ぐらいが見ごろかな〜?
