Photographs on the week (Another blog of mine)

I am so busy that I cannot write a log of the week. Let me just create a new post. I may be able to write something later.

Photographs on the week (Another blog of mine)

August 24, Monday
No memory, no record. But I am sure that I had been working all day.

August 25, Tuesday
Ditto

August 26, Wednesday
I borrowed six books in the branch library in the town. I bought two portions (?) of herrings for supper in the supermarket. It was 321 JPY. I always buy something that is not necessary when I go to a supermarket. So, on the day, I just made up my mind that I wouldn’t buy anything other than fish meat of herrings.

August 27, Thursday
In a small town in Japan, many old, or out of day, habits still remain. On Thursday, I was in charge of opening and closing the door of Garbage collecting place in the village.This role comes to each home once in two or three months. I got up a little earlier than usual and went to the garbage place at 4:40 a.m. Then I saw that someone had already brought his or her trash to the place and put them in front of the door. I heard that there was such a kind of person who brought the trash very early in the morning. Probably it was fun for him or her to make other people carry the trash to inside. And I also heard that it was almost identified who did that.
Anyway, the day was too hot to go outside. I had been in my house and continued to work for my Japanese classes all day.

August 28, Friday
I brought a document to the agricultural association. But I made a mistake on the document. It was a typo of just a one letter of Chinese character. The letter was the same pronunciation, but totally different meanings. I had to correct the character, to print it again, and to send it again to ask other’s stamps.
In the afternoon I went to dentist.

August 29, Saturday
I needed a photograph of my face. So I went to a town next to my town in the morning. I said hello at the entrance of a camera shop. The shop was open already, but no one came. A funny thing was that one family member walked into the shop by my side, but she didn’t say anything to me nor told someone that I was there. I was disappointed by that camera shop. So I got on a train and headed Niigata. I was not sure but believed that there should be a photo studio in some certain part of the Niigata. Luckily enough I found a photo studio there. I got a digital data of my face photo in my USB thumb drive. While I was waiting for the photo, I went see Shinano River.

August 30, Sunday
It is today. The classes will start tomorrow. Everyone is now in the university and will have in-person classes from tomorrow. But I am the only one who cannot be back in the campus. It is terrible that I cannot teach Japanese in the class but still I have to do online classes. I don’t like this situation.

August 17, Monday

I worked all day for making PPT slides for reading class. While doing so, I scanned  a book of poems that was an anthology for junior high school students. Of course I thought it was also suitable to my students learning Japanese language. I practiced my electric bass for 30 minutes at 8 p.m. in small volume.

August 18, Tuesday

I worked all day for making PPT slides for reading class; if I wrote like this, it looked the same as the day before. Yes, the same. At around 10 a.m., I went to a small branch library and borrowed a book about advanced Japanese grammar. And then I bought a flower bundle that was to put aside of dad’s photo.    

August 19, Wednesday

I went to the Agriculture Association in the morning hours. I just wanted to ask some questions about how to write documents for succession of property. In the afternoon, it was the same as days before. I just worked to make PPT slides of reading classes.   

August 20, Thursday

I revised a document for agreement between heirs and went to post office to send the document to my sibling. The afternoon was the same, I mean, I worked to make PPT for the reading class.  

August 21, Friday

Getting on a local train, I went to the morning market in Niitsu in the morning. The photographs are shown in another blog of mine.

August 22, Saturday

I went to a supermarket in the morning. That was only thing that I did other than working on PPT.

August 23, Sunday

Today, too, is working day. I think I have spent so many hours and days for preparation for reading class. Now I think it is the time for me to prepare the business manner class for 4^th grade and the listening class for 2^nd grade students.  

日本語教育に関係する人で、カレールー（カレールウ）の写真が必要な方はお使いください（800px✕600px，235kB）。

It is terribly difficult for me to attach a photograph image onto a blog post on wordpress. I need to try several times to call an image file from media library. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. I have already spent more than 20 minutes for just one picture, but actually I couldn’t make it. What I found was that it is easier to write HTML code “img src” in order to display an image on the blog post than to use the block editor for that purpose.

Now I am worrying that, if wordpress continues this user-unfriendly block editor, many people may give up writing and stop using wordpress. I hope I am wrong.
