Going to Shimosuwa for the trip to Toba tomorrow

Posted on July 13, 2012 by Muravej

The researchers from Shimadzu have finished the work for this week. They left the lab at 4 PM. They will come again after two weeks. Katya picked me up at 7:20 PM by Smart. For dinner, she drove with me to a sushi restaurant, Tokube, which was full of people.    After dinner, Katya and I came back home, packed the baggage, took Maya-san, and left for my parents’ in Shimosuwa. We will stay one day before going to Toba. Maya-san will be left. It is a pity but she will have some fun, too, with my parents.

There were two real-estate meetings , for which, I went to rainy Tokyo.

Another Sunday

Posted on February 19, 2012 by Muravej

I did not sleep well for two days, so I slept till 9:30 AM. Maya-san and I had a walk, then Katya and I went to Gusto for brunch.    I like eating and reading a newspaper, which I do not feel impolite because fortunately, Katya likes to eat and read a book during breakfast. Then everyone went to Lake Inagako. Only the skin of the lake was frozen.    It was not very cold walking around the lake. Maya-san smelled something under the ground, which made her dig a hole. We need to leave the hole, anyway, and this is only when Maya-san loosing herself growls and barks at … Continue reading →

Locked out, Rejected, Sushi

Posted on February 3, 2012 by Muravej

In the morning, I took Smart to take Maya-san out for a walk, then, Katya left home by bike for teaching English. I left the key inside! I found it out when Katya arrived at the class.  I called her, but it was too late.  There was nothing to do except taking Maya-san for a longer walk; so I did. Maya-san enjoyed a morning digging very much. I went to the real-estate office to borrow a master key. At 8:30 AM, I got the key. I went back to the apartment quickly, left Maya-san inside, and returned to the office to have the key back. After I finally arrived in my … Continue reading →

First Tokube of the year 2012

Posted on January 11, 2012 by Muravej

Katya and I went to Nigirino Tokube for the first time this year. We used a 10%-discount coupon that they gave us at the end of the year 2011. After the dinner, we went to TSUTAYA to return and rent DVDs. On the second day of the new year, they gave us a free coupon for two CDs. Today, we chose a set of three CDs for classic music and another set for Jazz. We bought 20 packs of CD-R, too.    When we tried to copy the CDs, we found out that the CD recorder we have at home does not open to accept a CD; it is broken. … Continue reading →

Total Lunar Eclipse

Posted on December 10, 2011 by Muravej

It was a beautiful day. From Kofu city, Mt. Fuji was clearly seen. For dinner, Katya and I went to Tokube. Extra wasabi, or horse radish, is something we do not miss.   I had a crab miso soup, too. Yellowtails are good in winter. We were expecting a lunar eclipse starting at 9:45 PM. It would be a total eclipse after 11 years. I had a slight cold and left Katya take pictures. She was taking these photos continuously.       It was mysterious. The hide of the moon should continue for 50 min, but we came in to our apartment to avoid the coldness. I had a hot … Continue reading →

In the morning, it was rainy. I walked to my office instead of riding a bike. There was a students presentation.  Then, a meeting of the professors was held. In the afternoon, I took trains to Tokyo. There would be two managing meetings for my two apartments in Nakaochiai and Myorenji. I am representative of the owners of the two apartments. I moved from one meeting to the other.

Autumn Equinox Day on Hatsushima Island

Posted on September 23, 2011 by Muravej

We stayed one night at my parents’ in Shimosuwa. Today is Autumn Equinox Day, a national holiday. We had breakfast at my parents’. Maya-san stayed in Shimosuwa, and Katya and I drove to Atami.  It was a bit cloudy. On the way from Tokyo to Yamanashi, on the opposite way from ours, there was a traffic jam.  People in Tokyo have difficulties driving out. As was last time, we had sushi lunch at Nigiri no Tokube in Gotemba.    We then drove to Atami to leave the car.    Leaves of a palm tree were faded: fall has come. We took a boat to Hatsushima Island.    We arrived at Grand … Continue reading →

Busy Respect-for-the-Aged Day

Posted on September 19, 2011 by Muravej

Today was a holiday. Katya’s mother, Natalia, is coming to Japan in October. We went to buy a set of futons for her at Nitori.  We bought a pan, too. Then we went to Super Autobacs and changed the tires of our Smart. I was sitting by the window, watching how the tires were changed. Then we went home with futons. In Japan, TV broadcasts have been completely digitalized since July 25.  I have not enabled our TV set to receive digital signals (we are watching Internet programs), so today, I installed the adapter. The first program watched was Sumo, because it was broadcast on Channel 1. Today’s Tokube Day. … Continue reading →
