気象の変化が激しい１日でした。朝は散歩も気持ちよく家へ戻り朝食をとっていると雨の音。天気予報は曇り時々雨で買い物は無理かなと思いながら家にいたら、雨が止んだのでレインジャケットと帽子、サングラスで買い出し出発。途中ポツポツと帽子に雨の音。しだいに本格的に降ってきました。そのまま進むのは無理と判断し、途中のコンビニの軒下で雨宿り。東の空は雲が切れ西は雨雲。２０分ほどで雨が止んだので再び出発。買い物を済ませて外に出たらまた雨。期待薄の空を見て、これは一気に帰るしかないと自転車を走らせるも雨脚は激しく帽子から靴までビチョビチョ。高校生らしい兄ちゃんが前を短パン、ひさしつきの雨ガッパ姿でペダルをこいでいます。信号待ちの辛さを無言で共感した後彼は他の道へ。歩道を走るも対向車が水飛沫をあげてやってきます。大型トラックがすれ違いざまに強烈な水を掛けていきました。ブワッ！という感じ。こうなったら面白がるしかありません。食材を入れた段ボール箱もびしょ濡れ。財布の中のカードも一枚一枚干しました。夕方は穏やかな日没となりお月様が静かに光っていました。
It was a day during which the weather changed rapidly. I took a walk in the morning and when I was having breakfast, I heard rain was falling, so I thought that I had to give up going to the grocery store, then stayed at home for a while. The rain stopped shortly, so I decided to go out by bicycle with a rain jacket, hat and sunglasses. In the middle of the way, the rain started pouring and I stopped at a convenience store to wait until the rain subsided. The rain stopped again, so I headed to a supermarket. When I finished shopping, it started raining again. Since the sky was dark gray and it seemed it didn't stop raining, there was no way to go home in the rain. I was soaked. There was another person who I guessed was a high school boy, who was also on a bike in front of me. While we were waiting at the traffic light, we shared the same feeling of being drenched. He took a different way after the signal. Even though I went the pedestrian's way, water splashed from cars which passed by and the biggest one was from a heavy truck. I couldn't stop laughing at this. The cardboard box in the basket of my bike which was full of groceries was soaked. I dried each card in my wallet one by one once I got home. In the early evening, I could see a beautiful sunset and the moon was shining quietly.
