I went to the elementary school where my son went to. I did some
tasting of the school lunch. They are all handmade and delicious. My son
seems to look forward to having a school lunch every day. I was sorry
that the tableware was made by alumite. I'm hoping to have it be
improved soon.
I went to Donq near my work with my colleague for lunch. Donq is my
favorite bakery. We have a wide choice of bread at the bakery. The
conversation grew lively while eating a delicious lunch. I forgot to
bring my wallet so he paid the bill. I want to go there again.
I went to the dental clinic for the maintenance of my tooth. There is
the dentist in the basement of Hotel Okura. That dental hygienist cleans
my teeth carefully and the treatment of the dentist is not so painful. I
have heard the tourists staying at Hotel Okura were receiving dental
treatment at the dental clinic. I have to take care of my teeth to enjoy
eating even if I become 80 years old.
I often go to a baker called the Cascard. The shop is in Tambabashi
Station of Kyoto. I love French bread and sandwiches in particular.
You can bring that back or eat in the shop. If you go to Tambabashi Station, I recommend the bread of the Cascard.
I passed in front of Saikyu-ji temple, near the Fujinomori Station. I
had been going there to participate in a yoga class during my maternity
leave and childcare leave. The instructor of the yoga was experienced,
so I learned some important things about labor and childbirth from her.
For example, a way of physical training for delivery and the breathing
at the time of labor pains. I met some pregnant women who turned a
breech baby by her instruction.
I want to go again because it is settled
down very much to do yoga in the temple. If you are interested in yoga
or meditation, wouldn't you like to stay at our guesthouse, and go to
the Saikyu-ji temple together?
I went to Kani Doraku with my parent and my son. It was near our
guesthouse, about 10 minutes on foot. I did not make a reservation, but
the usher conducted us to the private room.
My son fell sound asleep, so
we were able to have dinner and calm down.
The waitress who was wearing a kimono offered various kinds of crab
dishes. The sashimi and the grilled crab dish were very delicious.
My parent said that we could spend a luxurious time, so I was happy.
It has stopped raining, I went to the hydrangea festival of
Fujinomori-jinja Shrine with my eldest son. The shrine is near my house
and our tutelary deity. In the hydrangea garden, there were various
colors of hydrangeas such as pink ,purple, blue, yellow green, and white. I didn't know various kinds
of hydrangeas like that so far.
After having left the hydrangea garden,
we ate hydrangea Dango. They were selling skewered mugwort dumplings as hydrangea Dango. My son loves Dango, so he
ate joyfully.
The people who were wearing happi coats played the Japanese drums at the
festival. I felt that the drumbeat sounded to the core of my body.
My mother arranged flowers of leeks in the entrance of the house. I saw
such big flowers of leeks for the first time. It seemed a mysterious
space for the flowers.
Cafe Veroce in Otesuji shopping street is one of my favorite cafes,
because there is a diaper changing table in the restroom. When I am with
a baby, I am particularly thankful. I wish there were more shops like
that.
I
went to Kura-Sushi with my family and guest family who were staying in
our guesthouse. My sons ate sushi, I ate a tempura bowl, and my husband
ate cold noodles. It was fun because we could eat various kinds of
dishes.
The guest family enjoyed looking at the sushi train and shot
photographs. The couple are photographers who came from Australia. I
saw their pictures with a blog, and they were very wonderful
photographs. I want to talk about things such as each other's country
with them when I get better at speaking English.
My son and his grandfather get on well. When my son wakes up early in
the morning, his grandfather always takes my son for a walk.
It was rainy today, so they prayed in my house using newspapers. My son
calls his grandfather "Ji-ji-" . The word that he spoke for the first
time was "Ji-ji-". I was sorry that was not "mom".
I went to Pure Kids near my house with my oldest son and his friend. It
is around 15 minutes by car. That is the place where children can play
on big playground equipment in the room. While children played, their parents sat down on a sofa
all the time and talked. There are a lot of massage chairs for adults.
After having eaten in the food court of the neighboring building, we
went shopping. We were able to meet Pepper the robot in a cell-phone
shop. My son loves Pepper.
My son said before going to bed that it was good today because there were a lot of good things.
I went to Katsukura in Otesuji shopping street with my family for the
first time in a while. When I was a college student I went there often.
I
ordered vegetables cutlet and fin cutlet this time. My son ordered a
child set, of course.
I grind the sesame of the sauce myself. The fin
cutlet was very tender so I thought that it was difficult to make it the
same way. My husband got refills on rice, miso soup, and shredded
cabbage. After eating everything, he said that he ate too much.
I cooked a lunch box which my son took on an excursion this morning. I
asked my son what he wanted to put in the lunch box yesterday, he said
"I definitely want to put in octopus and crab sausages!" He loves
octopus and crab sausages, so he always says that. It took 30 minutes to
make a lunch box today. I want to cook a lunch box more quickly next
time.
Gardenias bloomed in the garden of my house. When I open the door of my
house, gardenias give off a sweet smell, which is in the air and I feel
spring.
Today was my son's class observation day. It was the time of an
elementary school subject, called drawing and handicrafts that I
observed. My son was focusing on that class. His class teacher talked to
children in the same way as an adult. I was relieved to see that he
was enjoying his class.
I woke up early and went to Komeda coffee. That is near Keihan Sanjo Station.
Komeda serves breakfast until 11 am. When I ordered cafe au lait, the
toast came free.
The seat that I was sitting in was very comfortable, so
I was able to take it easy. I want to go again if I have time.
I use rent-a-cycle bicycle on weekdays. It is close to Demachiyanagi Station.
The staff of the rent-a-cycle bicycle prepared for a bicycle quickly this morning.
I have seen the person who explained how to use the bike to a foreigner
in good English before. If you are with a little child, he'll lend you a
bicycle built for two riders sitting one behind the other.
Why don't you use rent-a-cycle bicycle?
It was the day of the calligraphy classroom. I go to that class about
twice a month. I am taught the various characters such as writing brush,
a brush-pencil, and a ball-point pen in the class by a mistress. I
wrote more this time. I want to be promoted to a higher rank.
The comfortable days just keep coming lately. Today, I dropped by on my
way with my baby and went home from nursery school. We looked at
flowers, my baby sat down on a stone, and we saw Fushimi Momoyama-jo
Castle.
Children grow up so quickly, so I want to enjoy the time I'm
together with him.
I
got some takeout gyoza and butaman (Japanese steamed buns) at "551
Horai" .There is it between the JR Kyoto line tickets gate and the
Kintetsu Kyoto line tickets gate. I sometimes buy that for dinner when I
didn't have enough time to making dinner. I bought the shrimp shu-mai
this time. Shrimp were fully contained that and that was delicious, so I
will buy that next time.
