A quiet day. Talked on the phone with Kazuko, my sister in Iwamizawa.

  Yesterday my grandson, Arashi, returned to Sapporo with his mother. In the morning, Ayako went to the hospital to have her given a shot to prevent influenza.
  In the afternoon, I walked as far as the Koitoi river at Kawazoe. There were no leaves in the trees, but it wasn't so cold yet.
  In the evening, Ayako and I talked with Kazuko, my sister living in Iwamizawa, on the phone. She was fine and said she is still enjoying tennis. I was glad to hear that.
