Mr.Akio Abe, a classmate of my university, died of cancer, Mr.Owaki phoned me.

  It was a warm, sunny day. I walked west to Kawazoe in the morning.
In the evening, Mr.Owaki, one of my old classmates in university, phoned me to inform Mr.Akio Abe had died of tougue cancer.

Ayako went to Sapporo to see Mr.Shimizu.

  In the morning, I drove Ayako to Tomakomai rail road station. She went to see Mr.Shimizu, our brother-in-law. Then, I went to the funeral hall to attend late Mr.Terashima's funeral.

Mr.Shi-ichi Terashiama, a former staff member of our neighborhood association, died.

  A former staff member of our neighborhood association, Mr.Shin-ichi Terashima died, and the funeral wake for him was held this evening. I went in Mrs.Saito's car with Mrs.Kumagai, and attended the wake, and returned home at 7:50 p.m.

I enjoyed playing park golf at Arten with Ayako.

  It was a beautiful, sunny day. In the morning, Ayako and I went to the park golf course at Arten, Nishikioka, and enjoyed playing park golf. We played 18 holes of it. It was only one gentleman playing, so the course in the woods was not crowded at all and very quiet. After playing, we had lunch in the restaurant, and came home at about 2:00.
  I tilled the soil of the little kitchen yard in my garden to plant some vegetables.

I had a barium examination-still feel nasty and tired. Ozawa, former head of JDP, decided "not guity".

  Ayako drove me to the hospital at 9:50. In the hospital, lay on the X-ray examination table, barium was infused into the large intestines. My intestines were shown on the screen. I was tumbled many times. The examination finished within thirty minutes. The result will be announced in a couple of weeks. I was tired. After returning home, I had my regular breakfast at 11:00 for the first time in three days. I was relieved.
  Ichiro Ozawa, a former head of the Japan Democratic Party, had been on trial for false recording of his political money, was handed down a not guilty verdict. Mr.Ozawa is one of the most influential politician, and he has strongly opposed  to his party's plan to increase consumption tax, so what are he and his followers going to do is attracting people's attention.

One day before my barium exam - I am following a restrictive diet.

  It was a fine day, but I had to stay at home all day. Tomorrow, I am going to have  a barium examination of the colon. I have been following the diet restriction for these two days.
  It was warm, so I walked around in my garden. I was happy to find some tiny spring flowers like 'katakuri' coming out. I looked up the English word for 'katakuri' and found it was called 'fawn lilily'.

Takashi's birthday. Sent him two books he ordered from Amazon.

  It was rainy in the early morning, cloudy in the mid-morning, and sunny in the afternoon. In many places in Honshu, the temperature went up to over 25 degrees, and it was a "summer day", which the meteorology bureau called.
  In the morning, I walked west to the Tomakomai river as far as Route 36. Ayako cycled with me as far as the post office at Nisshin cho and returned home after sending the books Takashi had ordered from Amazon e-book store.
