□My 3-sentence Diary
ネット上で日記は、個人的にはthe last thing I want to doでした。しかし、英語を書くことが
学習の一環と言う立場にあるものが、sampleになるのも意味のないことではないだろう、
自分も毎日、英語に接する機会も増えるし、また、このホムペになんらかの足跡を残すことに
もなるかな、などなどlong, sleepless autumn nightに考えて、半ば勢いでcreate。
　3-sentenceとなってますけれども、not necessarilyです。要するにnot longということです。

　In the morning off to the family doc and the usual neck traction. The daytime high here is a little above 32 degrees Celsius today. The big cat scratched my left toe by accident. Ouch! It bled.

Monday, July 30, 2018　Fair

　Today was a workday. There was a substitute class, but only a few came. They participated. Not bad. I used my wife's parasol today, too.

　The temperature was below 30 degrees Celsius, so we switched off the air-conditioners for the first time in two weeks or so. Typhoon No. 12's storm was strong for a while in the wee hours. Today I put three of the reed screens back iin place, and cleaned the bedroom.

Saturday, july 28, 2018 Rainy

　Typhoon No. 12 is going to hit my area around midnight. It is going to stay until moon tomorrow. I just the reed screens the way there are. They may fall but will not fly away.

Friday, July 27, 2018 Fair

　The heat is less intense todaythan yesterday. However, it IS hot!!! I used my wife's parasol on the way to and back from work. Bought a bag of bonito sticks for our little cat. At work corrected quite a few "reports" , marked the exam papers, and inputted the results. Worked in the staff room on the second floor. Had my chest X-rayed, too.

Thursday, July 26, 2018 Fair

　The weather is a bit better toward the evening. I mean humans can live in it. The weather so far has been beyond human capability physically. Now I can do away with air-conditioning.

Wednesday, July 25, 2018 Fair

　Could not help but shut myself up inside because the outside world is a living hell of severe heat. This crazy heat will last until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

Tuesday, July 24, 2018 Fair

　The life-treatening heat wave is continuing. Tomorrow's weather will be no different. Today by bike I went to the hospital and the dentist. My neck and teeth are worsening. I will not live for ever, but I will do what I can do. That is it.

Monday, July 23, 2016 Fair

　Another abnormally hot day. Spent most of the day inside except when I went slow-jogging early in the morning. The rooms are constantly air-conditioned. This is a weather crisis, so to speak.

Sunday, July 22, 2018 Fair

Wednesday, July 18, 2018 Fair and abnormal heat!!!

　A workday. I left home for work, but headed back home right wasy. I almost fainted in this intense heat. Not a soul was seen on the street. I used my bike, but even so, it was so hot and tiring day. I do not think I have ever experienced such a hot summer as this, and it is still mid-July. Anyway I went to work, invigilated, corrected some reports, and marked the exam papers. At first I worked on the fifth floor where there was no air-conditioning, but it was dangerlously hot, so I went down to the air-conditiioned staff room. I also inputted the results into the computer.

　The temperature has risen above 30 degrees Celsius. The air cleaner in the living room gives out an alarm sound fromo time to time. I wonder if there is something wrong with it.
