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.
So, 90.3-72.2 = 18.1kg is the moment when the goal is achieved ! Since it was 19.4kg at the end of April, Konatsu succeeded in dieting 1.3kg in 4 months.
やったね！ このまま減り続けても困るから食事の量を少し増やそうかな。
You did it ! But it would be a problem if it continued to decrease, so I think I should increase the amount of food a little.
On Saturday morning, almost all of the recent friends, both people and dogs, gathered and everyone seemed to have fun. It’s a time to forget the Covid-19 pandemic. I will introduce the photos without comment.
Looking at the rain radar, there are still so many rain clouds, but the forecast says that the clouds will go up to the north, so summer will come back.
By the way, the title “Dogs without names”. It was a movie that was screened six years ago, and it is a work that combines the coverage of “Chibawan”, which protects abandoned dogs, with a drama. It is currently distributed on NETFLIX. If you have a NETFLIX contract and are interested, please have a look.
Konatsu also has a past that was protected from dog shelters by “Chibawan” 11 years ago and saved her life. I hope that as many protected dogs as possible will be happy.
My family is not particularly religious, but we value events such as Obon and equinoctial week. First, prepare offerings for the Buddhist altar.
仏壇が狭くてお供えを乗せきれないけど、まあこんなもんで良いでしょう。
Obon is a Buddhist festival in Japan to honor the spirit of our ancestors. We welcome back the spirits of our ancestors during Obon every year.
正式には野菜を使って牛と馬を作るのだろうが今回はこれで代用。
WE prepare straw horses or oxen, which are supposed to carry the returning souls.
こなつにはご先祖様が見えている？ と思いたくなるような目つきだ。 そして、玄関で迎え火を焚きます。
Konatsu, can you see our ancestors ? You have a look that makes you want to think so. Then, ignite the fire at the entrance.
こういうのって、何となく敬虔な気持ちになるものですね。
On the first night of Obon, people light the small fire called Mukaebi or light lanterns so that souls wouldn’t lose their way to come back to their home.
This is like an annual event when I go to work. The weather forecast said that the inland area would be extremely hot on this day, and it overlapped with my business trip …
群馬に着いたらまだ午前10時過ぎにもかかわらず、もう36℃になっていた！
When I arrived in Gunma, it was already 36 degrees Celsius even though it was still past 10 am!
そんな猛暑の中、インプラントのオペがあったりして忙しい二日間の仕事を終えて家に帰ってくる途中､､､
It was a busy two days with implant operations in the intense heat. On my way home after two days of work …
明日から夏休みなのが関係しているのか、関越自動車道の上り東京方面は途中からこんな大渋滞。
Perhaps because it’s summer vacation from tomorrow, there will be such a heavy traffic jam in the direction of Tokyo on the Kan-Etsu Expressway.
圏央道に入り、ここは多摩川を越える橋の上
This is on a bridge that crosses the Tama River
圏央道ではここ一か所だけ速度取締機が設置されている日の出ICの出口付近。
On the Ken-O Expressway, near the exit of the Hinode IC, where a speed enforcement camera is installed only here.
海老名JCTでは東名に合流する車が大渋滞。
At Ebina JCT, the cars that join the Tomei Expressway are in heavy traffic.
On Sunday evening, I met Maron when I was taking a walk after 6 pm to avoid the heat. Both Konatsu and Maron happily ran up to each other and started jerking, so we decided to take a walk together.
It’s been almost a year since Maron didn’t come to Shichirigahama in the morning, so it’s been a while since I met him. Maron, who I met after a long time, had the impression that he was quite calm after he was three years old.
I didn’t use it this time, but there is also a library, so if you’re staying for a few days, it’s a good idea to spend some time here. We stayed one night so check out soon after this.
Hakone is also known for its famous water, and there are many soba restaurants. I entered here because I wanted to eat at a soba restaurant that I had never been to for lunch.
The exterior is also distinctive, but the interior is more like an Italian restaurant than a soba restaurant. There are many unusual soba noodles on the menu …
Hagino Tofu, a tofu shop in Hakone Yumoto. Following the recommendation of the shop, I bought Tamadare tofu and raw yuba and went home. Is Yuba or fried food from the long-established tofu shop of the soba restaurant just this shop? It was shopping while thinking so.
