Mr.Akagashi's funeral

  Ayako went to the dentist's in the morning while I went for my routine walking. I walked as far as the supermarket "Paseo", and bought sekihan or "red rice" ( rice steamed with red beans) and a fried fish (hokke) for my lunch.
 In the evening, I went to Bellco Tomakomai City Hall by bus to attend late Mr.Yukio Akagashi's funeral wake. It was a big funeral and more than 200 people had gathered in the hall. Tomorrow, the memorial service will be held at 10:00 a.m., and I will attend it. Late Mr.Akagashi had been an official of our neighborhood association until four years ago, and in charge of managing our community hall with me. He was 90 years old.
