湘南自然薯栽培その３

インドネシアの若者を英会話仲間と一緒に箱根を案内しました。海賊船、箱根神社を楽しんで頂きました。平日というのに大涌谷は混雑しており行く途中であきらめて箱根湯本の近くでランチしました。暑かったので冷やしとろろそばをお奨めしましたが、粘りのあるとろろは苦手のようでした。
Showed a young Indonesians around Hakone with my English conversation friends. He enjoyed the pirate ship and Hakone Shrine. Even though it was a weekday, Owakudani was crowded, so we gave up on going there and had lunch near Hakone Yumoto. It was hot, so recommended chilled grated yam soba noodles, but didn't seem to like the sticky grated yam.

W-san, a student on the baseball team from my school days, is a year older than me and is battling cancer. Two of my seniors and I went to visit him in Fujishiro, Ibaraki, where he lives. We were relieved to see that he was doing better than we expected.
 

自然薯圃場の今年最後の草刈りを実施しました。猛暑のため２週間もしないうちに草ぼうぼうとなってしまいます。

落語塾で落語『千両みかん』を師匠から噺を拝聴した後で、急にみかんを食べたくなりJAファームで売っていた極早生みかんを買って食べました。１房：100両と言いながら大事に食べました。美味しかったです。
After listening to the rakugo story "Senryo Mikan" performed by my teacher at a rakugo school, I suddenly had a craving for mikan, so I bought some early-season mikan that were on sale at JA Farm and ate them. I ate them carefully, knowing that one bunch was worth 100 ryo. They were delicious.
