I walked more than 10,000 steps in sunshine today.

  It was a fine spring day today. In the morning, I walked more than 10,000 steps toward Kawazoe cho. On the way, I collected some butterbur sprouts to eat for supper. The thermometer in the median strip showed 9 degrees. After I returned, Ayako was taking off the winter covers of the young trees in the garden.
  In the evening, I watched, as usual, a baseball game of the Fighters. They defeated the Olix by 8-1, and have come out on top in the Pacific League. The winning pitcher was Masaru Takeda.
  I wrote and sent an email to Ilsemarie in Germany.
