6月29日(土曜日)2024 
 ここ数日の天気予報を見ると、曇りや雨のマークが並び芳しくないお天気が続くようですが、本日は晴れ間も見えて蒸し暑いぐらいでした。
 さて6月は衣替えの季節で衣住を夏仕様に変えますが、寒い日もあったし、私の怠けグセで延び延びに
なっていました。一昨日、何とか戸や襖を夏用に変えました。やはり「見た目」を変えると気持ちも少し変わります。
 今年は暑い夏になると言われているし、電気代も上がるので不安もありますが、少しでも快適に過ごしたいものです。

According to the weather forecast, it will continue to be cloudy or rainy. Today, however, it was clear and a little bit humid.

In Japan, we have a custom that we change clothing and other items to summer style in June. We call this "Koromo-gae (seasonal change of clothing) ". However, I postponed it because we still had chilly days in June and simply because I was too lazy to do so.

The day before yesterday, I changed the guest room and entrance sliding doors into summer ones. Before doing so, I was hesitant but now I am satisfied with these changes. It looks much more spacious and cooler.

Many people predict that this summer will be very hot and I am personally concerned about the electricity bill going up from July. I would like to stay as cool and comfortable as possible.
