We had forgotten yesterday was "Nanakusa" day.

  Yesterday was January 7, which was "the nana-kusa day". "Nana-kusa" literary means seven spring herbs. In Japan, through several days in the beginning of the new year, we continue to enjoy big feasts. But, on the 7th of January, we get tired of eating such good food. So we have the custom that on January 7th, we eat rice porridge which has been enhanced by the seven spring herbs, such as Japanese parsley and shepherd' s purse. Eating such porridge on that day is said to ward off all kinds of diseases. We had forgotten about it, and didn't eat the porridge yesterday.
 Today was Saturday. In the morning, I walked as usual for about an hour and a half, and in the afternoon, I spent watching sports programs on TV. All Japan Inter High School Rugby football championships final match was fought between Higashi Fukuoka Senior High School and Toin Gakuin Senior High School, but the match ended in a tie. Both teams became the champions.
