午後横浜のKSGGの月例会で湘南ひらつか七夕祭りのプレゼンをした後に新橋に向かいました。学生時代の野球部の先輩Aさんの快気祝いを他の仲間と九州の居酒屋で実施しました。元気そうで安心しました。ふるさとの関アジの刺身を堪能しました。
In the afternoon, gave a presentation on the Shonan Hiratsuka Tanabata Festival at the monthly meeting of KSGG in Yokohama, and then headed to Shinbashi.  Went to a Kyushu izakaya with some friends to celebrate the recovery from the illness of my senior A, who was on the baseball team when I was a student. Was relieved to see that he was doing well. We thoroughly enjoyed eating some Seki horse mackerel sashimi from my hometown.

KSGGで大変お世話になっているYさんを鎌倉のご自宅をKさん夫妻と共に訪問しました。
Yさんは昨年末に腰を痛めて手術を行い現在リハビリ中です。ジャガイモとベルガモットの花束を持参しました。早期の回復を祈念します。『乱歩と千畝』の本を貸して頂きました。
Together with Mr. and Mrs. K,  visited Y-san, who has been very helpful to us at KSGG, at her home in Kamakura.
She hurt her back at the end of last year and had surgery, and is currently undergoing rehabilitation. Brought her a package of potatoes with abouquet of bergamot flowers. Pray for her speedy recovery. She lent me the book "Ranpo and Chiune."

浜田牧場さんの今年最初の２反の田圃の田植えです。途中までは順調だったのですが、途中で故障しました。私が良く観察すると田植え機の後ろの苗移動部のベルトが破損していました。クボタに連絡してベルトの交換をすることになり、本日の田植えは中断しました。２日後に再開の予定です。
This is the first rice planting of the year at Hamada Farm in a 2-tan rice field. It was going well until halfway through, when it broke down. When I looked closely, I noticed that the belt for moving the seedlings behind the rice planter was broken. He contacted Kubota to replace the belt, and today's rice planting was suspended. It is scheduled to resume in two days.
