It was very cold but sunny.

     In some northern places in Hokkaido, the lowest temperature was below -30, and in most parts, the highest was below -5. But, when I was walking westward to Kawazoe in the morning, I felt very pleasant. The sky was blue and beautiful. I don't like snow season, but today, I felt happy to live in this snow country. I sent an email to Tomoko, my old friend in Miyagi. A few days ago, she emailed me saying she was very fine, and enjoyed shopping with a respirator. I felt relieved to hear that.
