I stare into vacancy and think about nothing. I feel impotent. I suppose how tough to carry with each other. One day he was in declaring his continued support for the other, but suddenly it has gone. He may be reduce his resistance to disease, then he started to suffer from ill health. Stressing caused by illness also has taken hold of his body. And finally we heard his last speech yesterday.
Dameging health caused being mentally ill that no one can realize when, how and why. To me, it comes suddenly. I have felt how harsh to keep my mind calm. Tempers are fraying and almost I lose my block.

Mother, mother
There's too many of you crying
Brother, brother, brother
There's far too many of you dying
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today
Yeh,yeh,yeh
Father, father
We don't need to escalate
War is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today
Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me, so you can see
Oh, what's going on
What's going on
Yeah, what's going on
Ah, what's going on






今日は9.11、あの日から6年。
世界があの日をさかいに一層きな臭くなった日だ。
目には目、刃には刃、
その連鎖が傷を一層深いものにしている。
そしてその渦の中に否応でも巻き込まれて
一端を担ってしまった日本。
この現状のままでいいのだろうか。
あのビルがあっけなく崩壊したテレビ中継を
記憶の中に消し去ることは出来ない。
それはそうだけど、同じことをやり返しても
戦争では答えが出ないことをなぜ過去から学ばないのか。
何が起きているのか。
誰が悪いのか。
互いに理解することは出来ないのか。
話して欲しい、真実の話を。
両岸を結ぶ橋をかけることはできないのだろうか。

Though I have continued stories about the cuisine, still I'd like to talk about "Monjya-yaki", which is a sort of thin and flat pancake cooked on a hot plate with bits of meat, seafood and chopped cabbages. Talking about when was the first time I ate Monjya, it was in the area of Asakusa. Uuuum, which restaurants should I go that I was wondering. Then I strolled into one of them. And the Monjya which was served at that restaurant was so delicious beyond my expectation. Thus I had gotten hooked on Monjya since then for a while.
I dropped at a co-op store spontaneously where I found this Monjya-yaki set. I couldn't stop buying. That was very easy to cook, only chopped some cabbages. The only unsual one is the Baby Star Ramen which is although an instant food. I forgot to add rice cakes and some red zinger though.
I suppose the Monjya has the pleasure of this typical tiny tiny sptula whick makes it's taste more fun of me such as gathering scorched sauce. If not, the pleasure will be down by half. While eating I wondered the Monjya is for meal or just a snack. Because I still feel rather hungry.

A sweetfish what I ate last night had been hooked by my friend's step-brother. It was a first supply in this season. He went to the river alone around at 8 in the evening and had stopped fishing after 3 a.m. I wonder how he could have a soak in a pitch darkness of the river for such long time. Anyway, I made a sweetfish the butt of a joke.
I said,"Very nice to see you." Then he replied," Hi !" "Thank you for a sweetfish having here tonight." Before I can even say hello, I put her with sea salt on the gridiron.
It was much tasty than I expected though I am not good at any fish. The fishbone was pulled out from her body so easy, then I bited the body.

I deeply recommend to read, to eat, to spend most of your time at your home. That doesn't mean isolating youself from society, but I suppose it is valuable to spend quiet hours at home. Beside, I bless myself I am a person to think of that way. Some say that I seem that I have my days of being a player, but I have never been to Karaoke bar nor gone bar-hopping alone. I am so-called fifth business except being at home that is more importantly for me.
Within grasping distance, there's always a mass of books here and there. Opened the fridge, there're lots of food I can't eat them all in a couple days. And if I'd like to take a nap, then just staying off my feet. No one holds me culpable if I had a morning sleep. When I feel bored, I'd start to make knead dough by hand. I'm not so good at making sweets or cooking, but I like them so much. I have done so many fancyworks such as a needlework, weaving textiles, an embroidery and knitting. I'm really bitten by the gardening and could find pleasure in it. I wonder I have been influenced by my grammy why I like doing such chores.
Even though I am not on the cutting edge and don't compare with another person, how much important to me to drum up enthusiasm for the expectation a new discovery on my daily life. Lately I ponder this life is what matters most.

家読、家飯、家遊びの薦め
引きこもっていたいわけじゃないけど、家で過ごす時間を貴重だと思う。 そう思える自分でよかったと思う。 一見遊び人のように見えるらしいが、カラオケに行ったこともないし、一人で飲み歩いたこともない。 何ら取り柄はないが家で過ごすのが何よりと考える人間だ。
手を伸ばせばそこかしこに本の山、冷蔵庫には食べ物が満載、昼寝をしたければ横になればいい。 朝寝をしても誰もとがめない。 退屈になればちょっと粉を捏ねてパンでも作ろうか。 ケーキも料理もうまくはないが嫌いではない。 針仕事も織物も刺繍も編み物も、手を染めた手芸は限りなし。 庭の草取りや庭木の剪定はいつも私の仕事。 家仕事が好きなのは祖母の影響だろうか。
最先端を走らなくても、人と比べなくても、ただ淡々と過ごす日々に新しい目を持つ暮らし。 何より大切に思うこの頃だ。

It is fun to me to have good news from a friend. I got a letter from Paris yesterday.
Morgane and Aliou are now enjoying a romantic escapade in the south of France, in Marseille. They left their son Taran, who is only one year and a half, in her hometown Carnac for 3 days to rest and discover that beautiful city. They announce that they are expecting a little brother or sister for Taran in the middle of March.
Wow ! What a good news that I haven't expected. The baby certainly brings families closer together. Good on ya mate !

There's no relationship between this photo and what I want to say today. But I just want to express my feeling. I have a noise in my ear. That has starated for 3 days ago. Can't explaine the timmitus symptoms but somehow as if sending morse code in the dead end of my right ear. Thus I slept not so well last night.
Anyway I went through "The Way of Arabien Thought" which was written by Ayako Sono. Almost at the end of the book, she wrote from what she had read, "The Modern Lebanon Saying". I thought that was really interesting saying and I nodded several times while reading. So I'd like show here some of the saying.
1)A tall man eats a fig and a short man will die under the tree sadly.
2)A clodhopper drink soup by folk but still they are a dirty-neck.
3)Be objectionable ! Then you'll be famous.
4)You should be careful about your enemy once, and you have to keep your eyes peeled for your friends all the time.
5)The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
6)When you become close to a friend, you have to shut a lock.
7)Invoke evil upon your religion, then God will help you.
8)Happiness is gauged by gram and sorrow is gauged by ton.
9)Short pleasure, long pain.
10)You should take a baby chick today otherwise you won't able take a hen tomorrow.
11)Courage is patience for an hour.
There're more and you can catch up each proverbs as you like.

『アラブのこころ』 曾野綾子著を読み終えた。 ほとんど最後のところに、現代レバノン格言集から彼女が引っ張ってきた格言がいつくか載っていた。 面白いからそのいくつかをここへも記載しようと思う。 理解はそれぞれご自由に。
1)背の高い男はイチジクを食い、背の低い男はその木の下で悲しげに死ぬ。
2)百姓はフォークでスープを飲んでも百姓だ!
3)反対しろ! そうしたら有名になる。
4)敵には一度、友にはいつでも気を付けろ。
5)敵の敵は味方。
6)親しくなったら鍵をせよ。
7)宗教を呪え。 そうすれば、神は助けてくれる。
8)幸福はグラムで計り、悲しみはトンで計る。
9)喜びは一場の夢。 悲しみは一年の現実。
10)明日の雌ドリよりも今日のヒヨコをとれ。
11)勇気は一時間の我慢。
日本人は相手を納得させる。 アラブでは相手を屈服させる。 この違いが納得できなければ、アラブ諸国との交渉事は解決の糸口を掴めない。 格言集にもそれが表れている。 正義の価値観が異なるのだ。 アラブではそうしないと生きてはいけない。 シリア生まれの詩人の一節、まさにアラブの心の結晶のようだ。

I bought this bath brush at 'MAMAIKUKO', which is a sort of a chow-chow shop. http://www.mamaikuko.jp/
I used to use a scrubber for a long time but it has wore out. I bought one at 100-yen shop. It was a nice touched one but I could use only a month or so on just over a short amont of time. Well, that's OK because it was only a hundred yen. I am accustomed to use a body brush while taking a shower.
Talking back to that bath brush, it is the most comfortable brush yet I have used. That makes my bath time nicely though I usually have a quick bath.

長い間たわし(のようなもの)を使っていたけれど、
使えなくなっていた。
そこで次に100均ショップで1本購入。
まぁまぁの手触りのものだったけれど
たった一ヶ月かそこいらで使用不可になってしまった。
100円だもの、そんなものだろう。
シャワーの時にブラシを使うのは随分前からの習慣。
話を例のお風呂用ブラシに戻せば、今までの中で一番気持ちのいいブラシだ。
カラスの行水だけど、ちょっぴり嬉しい。

Building a fire with charcoal and cooking over charcoal are my mode right now. I never tired of watching, gazing and thinking. What I thought is the way someone handles his responsibility.
Is the responsibility something to feel or something to take the blame on himself? For politicians, it is quitting to take responsibility for the inequitable conduct,for instance.
The charcoal fire looked like a cauldron of simmering resentments.

oday, September 2nd is Charlie's 28th birthday. Happy birthday ! Actually Charlie is not in Japan right now. Thus I e-mailed a couple days ago. "As 28-year-old is enogh old that I don't want you to keep my birthday. Just say congratulations on this day, please." that Chalie wrote on the mail. Then I thought that I am a person of letters that why don't I write a birthday letter to Charlie even though is not in Japan now.
Mailing letters is one of my favorites. I have an experience that I responded to surveys asking from the post office. It proofs that how many times I have mailed letters in a week, not in a month. Collecting letter paper and such pretty stickers are also facinated matters to me.

When I woke up in the morning, I felt the crisp air of autumn in the air. Just only one day passed, but when it has come September, it suddenly became autumn's atomosphere. That is the post card which I sent to Enn-chan, a friend of mine, on which there was a darning needle printed. I was impressed that a photographer is not known as a photographer for nothing. Maybe we could see someday, but since this summer was too hot to enjoy the meeting that we haven't see with each other. If possible I could be a darning needle, I would like to fly to your home on the wind.
The little cooler it's getting, the deeper my voice will become bit by bit. I think the autumn crips wind seeps through the cracks with the sibilant sound. Summer slided by and autumn came so quickly almost before I knew it. The sky is so clear and the clouds are floating so high.

トンボになってふわふわりと風に乗って飛んでいこうか。
少し肌寒くなると声が一段低くなる。
秋はスースーッとすき間から入り込んでくる。
いつの間にか、あっという間に秋になってしまった。
空が高い。
雲が高い。
