Ayako went to Chiaki's house to take care of Tokio and Arashi, Chiaki's children.

  At 8 o'clock in the morning, I drove Ayako to the Tomakomai railroad station. Ayako was going to Sapporo to take care of  Chiaki's two boys, Tokio and Arashi. Chiaki has just begun to work regularly as a dietician, and comes home later than seven in the evening. Her children are now in spring holidays, so there is no adult at home.
  I stayed at home alone. I had to buy something to eat for dinner, so I bought packed sushi on the way when I was taking my usual walking exercise.
  In the morning, Masako, Ayako's sister in Nagano called me worrying about the bad weather. She said it was snowing there, but here in Tomakomai, the weather was not so bad, though a little windy. By the way, the news reported four people were killed and more than 400 were injured by the strong wind. 
 In the evening, after dinner, I watched, as usual, a baseball game of the Nippon Ham Fighters. The Nippon Ham was lost the game against the Kobe Orix by 2-4, which was the second consecutive loss.
