As I wrote before, Konatsu started dieting around July and was able to lose 1.3 kg at the end of August. After that, it’s not good to lose too much weight suddenly, so gradually loosen her diet …
And Konatsu eats my wife’s homemade tuna and beef jerky for her, and yesterday I weighed her. Then, Konatsu has gained another 1kg in the past month. Did I give too many dog treats?
これからはオヤツは控えめにしようと思う。
From now on, I’ll try to be modest in giving dog treats.
This morning, I went to Kamakura City’s citizen medical checkup with my wife. We had a medical checkup without breakfast, so when we finished, we were hungry so we decided to eat on our way home …
鎌倉山のカフェ「ル・ミリュウ」でモーニングセットです。
I decided to eat a morning set at the cafe “le milieu” in Kamakurayama.
こなつは「何か食べれそうな予感！」なのか、階段を駆け上がっていく。
Konatsu runs up the stairs, perhaps because she feels like she can eat something!
今日は天気が良くて、遠くに海がハッキリ見えている。
The weather is fine today and the sea is clearly visible in the distance.
これがモーニングセット
This is the morning set
こなつが食べられるものはあんまり無かったけれど、パンの耳だけもらいました。
There weren’t many foods that Konatsu could eat, but she only got crust.
私たちが食べ終えて店を出た時間はまだ10時過ぎでしたが、もう駐車場は満車。
It was past 10 o’clock when we finished eating and left the cafe, but the parking lot is already full.
実は、お店で食べただけでは物足りず、モンブランを買って帰ってきてすぐに食べたのでした(笑) Actually, eating at the cafe wasn’t enough, so we bought Mont Blanc and ate it right after we came back (lol).
I’ve been in Kanra Town, Gunma Prefecture for work since yesterday. This is a castle town with a Japanese garden built in the Middle Ages (1,600s). I took a walk there for today’s lunch break. It’s a pity that Konatsu isn’t with me, but dogs are probably banned.
思った通り、園内には殆ど人の姿がありません。
As expected, there are almost no people in the garden.
It seems that this place was a resting place for the princess, and it says “Please sit in the tatami room and feel like a princess”, so when I entered, it was a very scenic place.
約40分、昼休みを気分良く過ごすことが出来ました。
I was able to spend the lunch break comfortably for about 40 minutes.
I went to Shichirigahama this morning as well. I can see a lot of dogs in the distance, but for some reason Konatsu didn’t try to go there …
誰も居ない静かな裏庭の方が好きみたい。
Konatsu seems to prefer a quiet backyard with nobody.
しばらく歩いて元の場所に戻るとアンちゃんがいたので、私もそこに座ってパパさんと世間話。 After walking for a while and returning to the place where I first came, Anne was there, so I sat there and talked with the owner.
朝はかなり涼しく秋らしくなってきた。
It’s getting pretty cool in the morning and it’s getting more like autumn.
この子はブルーノ君。こなつとはまあまあ相性が良い。
This is Bruno. Konatsu goes well with him.
じゃあまたね！と家に帰って行った。日曜日の朝でした
see you later! He went home. It was Sunday morning
Following the gas stove the other day, it is a replacement work for the kitchen fan and the roll curtain.
朝から夕方まで職人さんが出たり入ったりで、こなつにはストレスが溜まる一日でした。
Craftsmen went in and out from morning till evening, and it was a stressful day for Konatsu.
古くて音も大きい換気扇だったが､､､ It was an old and loud Kitchen Fan, but …雰囲気も明るくなったかな The sound is quiet and it feels bright because of the color20年経過してこの状態だったが It’s been 20 years and it’s been so dirtyこなつが好きなこの場所がキレイになった。 This place where Konatsu likes has become beautiful.
築20数年の我が家は今後も修理するところが沢山出てきそうで頭が痛い。。。
My house, which is over 20 years old, seems to have many places to be repaired in the future, and it hurts my head.
Maron’s owner had been hospitalized for more than a month, but it was surprisingly good that he seemed to be fine. He said he was quitting smoking during that time, so he said, “I think I can stop smoking.”
Today, the last day of the three consecutive holidays, the weather is good from the morning. I got information that fresh whitebait was a big catch this morning, so I made a reservation immediately and went to buy it.
ここは境川、少し上流では柏尾川と呼ばれている。
This is called the Sakai River, and a little upstream is called the Kashio River.
The estuary is about 500m from here. It is a river that flows in front of Enoshima. You can see a boat on the left bank, and there is Hamano Fisheries.
今日は湘南の地ダコもあるという事だったのでそれも予約しておいた。遠くからママが戻ってきた。 I heard that there is a local octopus in Shonan today, so I made a reservation for it as well. I can see my wife who bought it is back.
こなつは生シラスも大好きだから、今夜は大騒ぎだろうな。
Konatsu also loves raw whitebait, so it’s going crazy tonight.
Typhoon No. 14, which caused heavy rain, has passed, and the next day, today, it is fine from around noon. In the evening, I went for a walk in the coolness of autumn.
毛が抜け始めてもう2ヶ月近くなるのにまだ収まる気配がない。お尻の周りに白い毛が浮き上がっている。
Konatsu hasn’t seemed to settle down even though it’s been almost two months since her hair started to fall out. White hair is floating around the buttocks.
家の近所を歩いただけだから、何度もご紹介している場所しか写す処が無いけれど
Since I just walked around my house, I can only take pictures of the places I have introduced many times.
龍口明神社の前で撮影してみた。歩いているうちに辺りはだんだん暗くなり､､､
I took a picture in front of Ryukomyō Shrine. As I walked, the area became darker and darker …
中秋の名月は明日21日ですが、今年は満月です。
There is a seasonal festival called “Otukimi” in Japan. Otukimi means “viewing the moon”, people decorate silver grasses and offer rice dumplings to the moon. It also means gratitude for the harvest of the grain. tomorrow is the day.
反対側を向くと富士山のシルエットがきれいです。
Looking to the other side, the silhouette of Mt. Fuji is beautiful.
Next is Rosemary Park Hanamaru Market. There is a large site around the market where you can take a walk in the woods, but unfortunately the rain got heavy and I gave up walking with Konatsu.
ここでは農産物がたくさん売られていてママにとっては嬉しい場所だったみたい。
It seems that it was a nice place for my wife because a lot of agricultural products were sold here.
この後もまだまだ買い込んで、やっぱりねって感じ(笑)
After this, she still bought it… I knew it! (lol)
最後に行ったのがこの日の一番のお目当ての「ちくら・潮風王国」
The last place we went to was the “Chikura / Shiokaze Kingdom” that we were most interested in on this day.
遠くに見えてるのが海産物の市場ですが、手前の芝生のスペースはワンコが走るコースが出来ている。
The seafood market is visible in the distance, and the grass space in the foreground has a course for dogs to run.
だけどこなつはここを走らずに､､､
However, Konatsu didn’t run here …
係留されている漁船のところに来た。見学用に開放されていたので入り口に向かい
I came to the moored fishing boat. It was open for a tour, so head to the entrance
甲板まで上がってみた。この後、こなつは車の中で待っていてもらい、私はマーケットの方へと移動。 Konatsu went up to the deck. After this, Konatsu waited in the car and I went to the market.
建物の真ん中にでっかい生け簀があり、その前で獲れたての魚が売られている。
There is a huge fish cage in the middle of the building, and freshly caught fish are sold in front of it.
It looks cheap and delicious, but even if I buy this and go home, it seems to be difficult to fillet it, so I stopped buying it and walked around the venue …
When I returned to the cage, there was a shop. Here, I ordered fried horse mackerel and squid menchi because it is said that the fry is fried after ordering. I ate this half with my wife.
アジにはタルタルソースを添えてくれたのですが、何も付けないままでも十分美味しい！
The fried fish was served with tartar sauce, but it’s delicious enough without adding anything!
This time, I went to Regina Resort Kamogawa with the invitation ticket that I received as a supplementary prize for the blog contest.
途中、海ほたるで休憩して
On the way, take a break at Umihotaru ＊Umihotaru is a parking area where the expressway that passes through the undersea tunnel in Tokyo Bay goes out to sea on the way.
ここから鴨川まではノンストップで走ります。
I drove non-stop from here to Kamogawa.
レジーナリゾートは鴨川シーワールドのすぐ隣でした。
Regina Resort is right next to Kamogawa Sea World.
入り口を入り、敷地内のスロープを下ると玄関前に到着。
When I went down the slope on the premises, I arrived in front of the entrance.
At any Regina Resort, you can unload your luggage at the front door and our staff will take all your luggage into your room during the check-in process. It’s a very nice service when you have a lot of luggage.
This view from the bath. I thought that I should take a bath at a time when the view was better than after it got dark at night, so the first thing I did when I arrived was taking a bath (lol)
さあ、夕方の散歩に行こう！
Let’s go for an evening walk!
プールサイドを通ってビーチに出ます。手前のがワンコ用のプールで、奥に見えるのが人間用のプール。 Go out to the beach through the poolside. The pool in the foreground is for dogs, and the pool in the back is for humans.
こっちが人間用だけど、こう涼しくなるとちょっとね｡｡｡
そのあと浜辺に出て約30分の散歩から戻るとそろそろ夕飯の時間だ。
After that, when I went out to the beach and returned from a walk of about 30 minutes, it was time for dinner.
こなつにはワンコ用メニューの中からサーモン焼きを頼んでおいた。
For Konatsu, I ordered grilled salmon from the dog menu.
At Regina Tateshina and Karuizawa Regina, where I have stayed, dinner was a French course, but this was a Japanese course. From the conclusion, it was very delicious.
Konatsu was relaxing under the table after eating her own. This was the end of the first day and we fell asleep at 9 o’clock, partly because we were tired.
そして翌朝、夜明け前には目が覚めてしまったのでそのまま起き上がり
And the next morning, I woke up before dawn, so I just got up.
日の出は05：22となっていたのでその時間まで待ってみると
The sunrise was 05:22, so I waited until that time.
この日は雲が多くて太陽は見られず、ずっとこのままだった。
There were a lot of clouds on this day and I couldn’t see the sun.
そのあとまた眠ってしまい目覚めると9時前。慌てて朝食を食べにレストランへ。
After that, I fell asleep again and woke up before 9 o’clock, in a hurry to go to the restaurant for breakfast.
メニューを見ると、これまた朝からすごい品数。
Looking at the menu, this is another amazing number of items.
これは三段重になっていて､､､
This is a three-tiered structure …
並べたらこんなことに。。。
When I put them side by side, it looks like this.
これはこなつの朝ごはん、キンメダイの蒸し焼き
This is Konatsu’s breakfast, steamed Kinmedai
あっという間に食べ終わり、「アタシが食べられるものはもうないの？」とテーブルの上を見渡していた。
She finished eating in a blink of an eye and looked over the table asking, “Is there anything I can eat anymore?” It was a fun two days.
Since the sake here was dedicated to the wedding ceremony of Princess Sayako, the photographs at that time are displayed on the wall. Unlike the topic of the person who have been bustling in Japan these days, this makes me feel congratulations.
さっそく数本買って帰ってきました。車だから試飲ができないのは残念だったけど。
I bought a few bottles and came back. It was a pity that I couldn’t taste and choose these because I had to drive a car.
こんな看板もあり、店内ではこれをオーダーしている人がいたので私たちも食べてみることにしました。 There was also a sign like this, and there were people ordering it in the store, so we decided to try it too.
There will be a live stream of the Seiji Ozawa Matsumoto Festival on this day, so I brought my PC and HDMI cable and connected it to the TV in the room …
部屋でコンサートを楽しみ、そのあと夕飯。今日はホテルのテイクアウトのお弁当
We enjoyed the concert in the room and then dinner. Today, hotel takeaway bento.
こなつは私が食べているのをずっと目で追っていたらしい。。。 そして翌朝
Konatsu seems to have been following me as I was eating.
ここは山の斜面に位置しているからワンコの散歩コースもこんな坂道なのです。
And the next morning. Since the hotel is located on the slope of the mountain, the walking course of the dog is also such a slope.
In the morning, take a walk in the park near the hotel. It’s a place I’ve been to many times, so Konatsu decided on her own walking course and pulled me to walk.
ランチは芦ノ湖湖畔のベーカリー＆テーブルで
Lunch at the Bakery & Table on the shores of Lake Ashinoko
ここはパン屋ですが、2階・3階はカフェとレストランになっている。
This is a bakery, but the 2nd and 3rd floors are cafes and restaurants.
食後は恩賜箱根公園をゆっくり散歩してきました。
After lunch, I took a leisurely walk in Onshi-Hakone Park.
The summer music festival I’m looking forward to every year has been canceled due to the influence of Covid-19. It’s a pity that it was canceled, but this year the members gathered in Matsumoto for live streaming, and it seems that they are currently rehearsing. You can enjoy live streaming for free on September 5, so if you are interested, please click here!
七里ヶ浜の広場ですが、夏の間、雑草が伸びて歩きにくくなっていたのだが、草が刈られていた。 It was a park in Shichirigahama, but weeds had been growing and it was difficult to walk since before summer, but the grass was mowed.
With this, it gets wet with morning dew, grass fruits stick to Konatsu’s body, and I was worried about mites, but from today I can walk with peace of mind.
今朝はワンコに会うたびに「歩きやすくなって良かったですね！」が挨拶になっていた。
Every time I met someone this morning, the greeting was “I’m glad it was easier to walk!”
メインの広場の方は以前のままだけど、こっちはそれほど伸びてないからまだ大丈夫。
The main park is the same as before, but it’s still okay because it’s not growing that much.
In the end, she just walked around the ground and got into the car herself and complained with her eyes, “Let’s go home early!” Although she likes to take a walk.
At my home, we finished the renovation of the washroom about two months ago, and today is the day of the replacement work of the gas stove in the kitchen.
The only weakness is that the current oven seems to have a temperature setting of 100 ° C or higher, and it is not possible to set the temperature to 80 ° C when baking jerky for konatsu. This is a problem.
