It was raining hard from early morning. In spite of bad weather, I went to the health club at 6:30 as I had many things to do today.

I expected it had few people but on the contrary it was rather crowded. Following the advise from a trainer, I went to the swimmng pool first. Then after I had a bath, I did bike exercise and stretching. To make exercise in this order has the better effects of stretcing, I realized.

Yesterday morning, Mr. Nakamura sent me back the IBM 535 with two back-up discs of 700 mb. Mr. Nakamura checked the auction price of used IBM 535 and advised me to repair it at IBM if the repair cost is estimated less than 20,000 yen. I brought it to the IBM repair center in Shibaura. They deciphered the repair code which was exhibited on the compter's screen and said it would be restored by renwing its key board. If there is no other troubles, the cost of repair may be less than 20,000 yen. So I asked them to send me a formal estimate of repair cost by faccimil and left the machine to them.

It had the hardest rains this time of the day. The right picture was taken from my garage. The stop lamps of a car were reflected on the surface water of paved road.

Then I went to a post office to get an arrived package from my friend. I also tried to send various membership fees. As it was a bit passed four o'clock, the windows for money exchange were alreday closed. But I could send them myself through a machine. It is a bit bigger than cash dispencers and has special functions exclusive for money exchange.

The aged people like me could go around under hard rains with the help of Plyus. It was really an all weather transportation,

It continued to have hard rains through the night. The super express trains wer stopped between Tokyo and Yokohama due to heavy rains. The BS digtal broadcast was affected by the stormy weather so that both of pictures and sounds did not come out for about an hour. I had such an experience for the first time.
