In the morning, the sky was blue without any cloud but with good breeze. I did a comfortable morning walk of 5 kilometers.

But after 10 o'clock it was becoming hotter every minute. In the sky, new white clouds were growing. It became over 34 degrees in centigrade. I have never experienced such a heat at my home in Tokyo, Usually we use airdonditioners after August 1st. We overcome the heat without relying on the machines but with will and patience. |
In the evening, farily strong breeze came. White clouds deminished in about an hour and blue sky appeared just like in the morning.
Robust cicada, a symbol of midsummer, has started to sing from this morning. I think it was about a week earlier than usual.
In the afternoon, I went to a swimming pool and happened to see a professor of university. When I met him at a hosptal last time, he was on a wheel chair and told me he could not only walk but stand too because of lumbago. But today he looked very healthy and walked around without any trouble. A friend of his introduced him tp a famous therapist speicalized for lumbago. At the first try of therapy, his all pain were gone from waist. He used to come the club everyday and jog on the running machine. He said accumulated effects of his exrcise might contribute to cure the sick. I walked in water 300 meters and tried to swim a little by free style. As I put plugs to ears as exactly as instructed, they did good jobs for me, no water coming in ears.
On my way back, I dropped in Mitsukoshi in Ebisu and bought food stuffs. It was not crowded as usual even it was Saturday evening. Many people might take summer holidays together with their children and go to camping or overseas trip. To estimate the activities of people is very difficult at any time.
