May I say . . .

What a nice way to start the month! 2 days of work only, that is what I call a golden week. May they never suppress those cherished vacation days! If they were to be removed, I am confident there is out there a hero to get them back. And that hero would be surely called the golden retriever . . . it is definitely springtime and it seems like the summer heat has already done harm to my small brain. I should stop anticipating the dreadful months of June and July. Make the most of May before monsoon winds and rains land on Japan! Rice planting has started; this should give you the hint already. Once month left to appreciate the season in its plenitude. . . .
