Our Turtle Says 'Hi'
この青空で外に行きたくなるけれど、今日は会議が４つもありました。町お越しの大会議とその小さい打ち合わせ、来月のそば祭りの実行委員会(私はハロウィーンの実行委員長として呼ばれた)と、１１月末の講演会の打ち合わせ。まあ、観光会館と亀清の間に何度も行ったりきたりしています。走る度にうちの新しい電信柱の看板を通りました。真緑の柳の葉っぱと真っ青の空といい雰囲気でした。
On a sunny day like this, you feel like doing something outside. However, I was stuck indoors today with 4 different meetings. There was a big one on the town's 'machi-okoshi' followed by a small one on the same, then a meeting of the Soba Festival organizers (I partook as the head of the Halloween Festival), and finally a meeting to coordinate a speech I will be making in Nagano City in November. As a result of these meetings, I had to run back and forth between Kamesei and the Kanko Kaikan Meeting Hall so many times. Each time, I saw our new Utility Pole Sign, shining in the sun with the green willow tree branches and the blue sky.
