　犬好きです。いろんなことに挑戦しています。英語、中国語、フランス語、韓国語、カラオケ、健康体操、野鳥観察、文学、哲学書・宗教書を読む、認知症サポーター、地域コミュニティーの在り方、図書館の在り方、老人会（寿会）の在り方探索、国際交流、短歌、俳句、川柳、各紙への投稿等々……。しかし、どれも中途半端なので、最近は、とりあえず英語が流暢に話せるようになるため、多くの時間をかけています。

Residents of the Japanese capital were taken by surprise, as the temperatures around this time of the year usually range from 10C to 17C.
The snow, caused by an unusual cold front over the city, caused slight delays on public transport.
The first snowfall - which is called "hatsuyuki" - arrived 40 days earlier than average, Japan's Kyodo news agency reports.
Tokyo last saw November snow in 1962, though in that year it did not accumulate on the ground.（from BBC）
