Ayako went to Sapporo to see Shimizu, our brother-in-law.

  Today Ayako went to Sapporo. How many times has she been to Sapporo to see Shimizus to care of them ?  Ayako came home at about 3:00. She said Shimzu's condition had not changed, and Shimizu could speak, though very slowly.
  I walked in the morning toward the Tomakomai river. The weather was sunny, but the temperature was low. Cold weather has been continued for about a month, and the news reported floating ice had reached the Okhotsk coast of Hokkaido almost one month earlier than usual years.
  In the evening, I attended the monthly meeting of the neiborhood association. After the meeting, sake and beer was served, and we enjoyed drinking and talking.

In Tokyo, more than 300 people slipped on the roads and got hurt. I am afraid the snow storm will come here to Hokkaido.
