I don’t usually care much about sports, but I always watch judo at the Olympics, even from the preliminaries, regardless of whether there are Japanese athletes or not. I have memories from around the Los Angeles Olympics, so it’s interesting to know the current information about past athletes.
If my cats practiced judo, Buri would probably dominate because he’s sturdy. Hamachi is timid and would probably get easily ”SIDO”.
In the past, I used to enjoy the summer heat by having outdoor barbecues with beer. But recently, it’s become too hot, so I avoid drinking outside. I guess I’m getting older… Health is more important.
I was watching the Olympic surfing competition, and the sea was so beautiful and soothing that I ended up falling asleep . Maybe it’s the healing effect.
I found out that I could recreate KFC-style fried chicken using Horinishi spice, so I tried it out. I think I managed to replicate the flavor of the coating quite well. It was my first time using Horinishi, and it’s incredibly versatile.
The uka scalp brush that a friend recommended is so good. I’ve been using it every day before washing my hair.You can choose the firmness, and the second level of firmness, ‘kenzan,’ is just right for me. But I also want to try the hardest one, ‘barikata’. The amount of hair in the drain has decreased.
About 20 years ago, I bought a bowl at a 100 yen shop just for the time being, but I broke it. Even though I never liked that color or size, I feel a bit sad now that it’s gone.
On the 24th, which is the Midsummer Day of the Ox, I planned to eat eel at an eel restaurant and drink sake, but I couldn’t finish work in time to go while the restaurant was open. Instead, I warmed up a frozen udon and ate that. Udon also starts with ‘u’, so it works too!
When I told a foreign colleague that English is difficult, she said that Japanese is harder. In our advertising-related work, we sometimes use onomatopoeia, but she can’t understand the subtle differences in Japanese onomatopoeia.
Studying English on iPad is going well. I use the GoodNotes app to create summary notes for English conversation class and import exercises into the app for repeated practice. I just bought a Chiikawa notebook set, but it seems I won’t be using it much…
