５月２９日（月曜日）２０２３
今週は雨になるとの予報通り朝から雨音に包まれました。定休日の月曜日は買い出しの日。気が進まないながらも１週間のお弁当やカフェの食材の買い出しは必須。レインジャケットはすぐ見つかるも、あるはずの雨用パンツが情けないことに見つけられず。仕方なくジャケットとヒサシ付きの帽子とサングラスで出発するも、ズボンに雨がかかり、これではダメだと途中の衣料品店に飛び込んでレインスーツを５８０円で購入。サイズはLLで選べる色も一色。格好を気にするなら間違いなくボツでしたが、こんな時は機能優先。
雨の中、いつもの道は通る人も少なく幸いで、自転車のペダルを漕ぎながら何か楽しめることはないかとジーン・ケリーの有名な映画のシーン、土砂降りの中でタップダンスをしながら歌う「雨に唄えば（Sigin' in The Rain)」を思いつくも歌詞分からず取り敢えずはハミングで。
びしょ濡れの買い出しでしたが目的が果たせてほっとしました。帰ってシマシマシャツと明るいピンクのカーディガンに着替えて気分アップをはかりました。
As we expected by weather forecast, it was raining from the morning. Monday is the day off and it is a day to buy foodstuff at the market in Hikone. I was unwilling to go out on such a day, but it was necessary for me to prepare lunch and other stuff for the cafe. It was easy to find my rain jacket but I couldn't find rain pants, so I decided to go with rain jacket, hat and sunglasses. Right after I left the house, however, I realized that I needed rain pants otherwise I would be drenched in the rain. I stopped by a clothing store on the way and bought a rain suit for 590 yen which was an extra large size and see through one only. I didn't hesitate to get it because protection from the rain was the most important rather than looking fancy.
It was raining but I was lucky because I didn't see many people on my way and it's easier to ride my bicycle.
I tried to find something fun while I was riding in the rain, and I found a song which Gene Kelly was singing with tap dancing in the movie "Singin' in the Rain" but since I didn't know the lyrics of it, I just hummed.
I was soaking wet after shopping. When I got home, I dried myself and changed into a striped shirt and bright pink cardigan to raise my spirits.
