The third game of the World Cup qualifier against Australia -

  It was a cold day today. In the morning, it was reported that in some area of Hokkaido the temperature went down to below the freezing point. It was quite unusual for June. I felt cold when I stood at the corner as a crossing guard. Ayako went to Sapporo to help Mr.Shimizu who moved from the hospital to a care facility. Mr.Shimizu and his wife, Emiko, Ayako's sister, are now in different facilities in Sapporo. Ayako came back home at about 4:00.
  In the evening, I watched Japan's third game of the World Cup soccer qualifier against Australia. The game ended in a draw by 1-1. It was a very exciting game. Japan got 7 points in the 3 games and is in the top of the group.
