One Day Weekend

Due to the big earthquake hit in Japan, my office was closed for a whole month from March 11th to April 10th. To compensate the one moth none-working period, the employees have to work even on Saturdays. So, my weekend is only today.

I played tennis in the morning, came back home, cleaned up my computer and took a rest for several hours at home. I should get up very early tomorrow as usual and head for my office. Sigh.
My body always complains me to get two days weekend.

Flowers Blooming By The Roadside

It’s still in the middle of the rainy season in Tochigi prefecture.

I think it takes more two to three weeks before we have hot summer days.

Even these sultry rainy days, just short walking near my home brought me a nice discovery or tiny flowers blooming by the roadside.

Visiting Utsunomiya Central Park

I went to Utsunomiya Central Park to see flowers yesterday. I’m not so much familiar with the names of the trees but they had very beautiful flowers. It was also nice for riding a bike on such a sunny warm spring day. I think it is the best season of the year for biking if you don’t have hey fever or pollen allergy.

It is said on TV that cherry blossoms would be in full bloom in Tokyo this weekend. I saw some cherry trees in Utsunomiya Central Park, but they haven’t been in full bloom. Maybe, I’ll go to U.C.P. again or somewhere else to see cherry blossoms next weekend.

I think I’ll show you some pictures of cherry blossoms on this blog next time.
