To greet the New Year

I make the list at the beginning of the year to "thing that want to do".
At the same time, I decide the one "thing that does not want to do absolutely".  And I have to be done it by end of the year.
Sports ... that I do not want to do.

I went to yoga classes that participated last year.
Last year, I had cramp in my arms and it was very painful.
This year, there was a pose of yoga that I can not ....
But I'm good. I was doing a thing I do not want to do.

I will be able to greet the New Year comfortably.

There are many types of rice crackers.
This has been pressed together the some ingredients and rice flour.  From the left, it is "Shrimp" "Octopus"" Squid".
That's surprise to this thinness.

              It's a little cruel, but the taste is very delicious all.

Felix the Cat

From in the closet, "Felix the Cat" doll came out.
Nostalgic! Cute after all!
This is the one that I bought about 30 years ago.

I went to see the winning design of the competition.

 

 

The theme is "The middle".

                          

        There is the doll (like Matryoshka doll) of the girl.
The inside has the woman who got well-proportioned.
But, it is not visible from the outside.
Everyone does not see the "truth = middle" .

 

That's a wonderful work.  I wish to see it again somewhere...

Where is the autumn?

Today is like summer though it was cold last week.

These days I see one mascot characters everywhere.

This mascot is called "yuru-kyara" which means "a loose mascot characters".
However, he is actually working "hard".and this makes him more attractive.

 

 

 

　　　　　I feel better when I see his performance.

Changing clothes for the season.

It is still hot today.
When does it become cool?

Still the summer costume in chest of drawers.
Chest of drawers have to change from the summer costume to the winter costume before it becomes cold.

But, seems not to have to change the summer costume for a while.
