flea market

Outdoor market will be given monthly at our residential area.
To my joy I like to get an old or used goods at low prices.
By luck I could get a burberry's purse in a good shape.
Burberry is my all-time favorite and the purse is always in my bag.
Basically I don't want to spend much money on books so I go to the library
or used-book stores.
These English books at flea market are for my study.
Daily reading is a must.

dine

We had lunch with our grandson.
I rarely eat out but it is a good chance to use a free-food coupon
at the restaurant.
The waitress seated us and then brought his bib and a toy-car for him.
I was surprised at the house deal.
Let's dine out for a change !!

doyo

It might be hard to sing in English "blowing bubbles".
Please try it again !!
Doyo is originally written for children but we adults really understand
the deeper meaning behind them, as the following two lines;

storonger ones need lots of soap
weaker ones need lots of hope

Greg Irwin teaches us human values through this song.
He is making a good translation of the song.

blowing bubbles

Let's sing together in English
and decorate your day !!

しゃぼん玉　とんだ
屋根までとんだ
屋根までとんで
こわれた消えた

しゃぼん玉　消えた
飛ばずに消えた
うまれてすぐに
こわれて消えた

風　風　吹くな
しゃぼん玉　とばそ

Blowing bubbles in the air
Blowing bubbles everywhere
Some will fly up to the sky
Some will drop and just go pop

Some will last and some will break
That's a chance you have to take
Stronger ones need lots of soap
Weaker ones need lots of hope

When the wind begins to blow
Up to the heavens bubbles go

English lyrics by Greg Irwin

cicada

"Ew !". They look like cockroach.
It's not that.
On my dog's walk I'll see the bugs are shedding their skin here and there.
Their short but happy season has just come.
Have you heard their buzzer already ?

Japanese enjoy the songs of birds and insects.
