*Here I am, because I think (dec 3rd 2007)

●友人の農園(Takahashi-san’s Farm)

 昨日(12月2日)、友人の農園へ行ってみた。が、そのあたりをうろうろするだけで、とうとう見つからなかった。あとで電話をすると、M中学校の校舎のはずれを、右折しろと言ったのを、「左折」とまちがえた。

 来週、再び、行くつもり。

I went to Takahashi-san’s farm yesterday. But I could not find his place, driving aroud in vain. I called up him later when I got home, I knew that we turned left instead of turning to the right from the road. This was our mistake. Next week we will try to come to his place again, so did we promise to each other.

●新しい自転車

昨夜遅く、近くのショッピングセンターで、新しい自転車を買った。マウンテンバイク仕様で、たったの1万6000円! 「何年くらいもちますかね?」と聞くと、「2年は、だいじょうぶでしょう」とのこと。

これで家族みんなで、サイクリングすることができるようになった。ところで昨日、いろいろあって、計10キロ近く歩いた。今朝は、ふとももが痛い。

Last night we went to a near-by shopping center, where I bought a new mountain bike. The price is only 16000 yen (abt 180 US dollars). I was surprised at the price. So cheap! Then I asked the merchant if I can ride it for a long time, then he said “Well if you use it properly, you can ride around two years”. Now our families can enjoy cycling together from now on.

By the way I happened to walk abt 20 kilometers yesterday for some reason. I feel my legs aching a bit this morning.
