A shower watered my yards this morning, and the new era has begun in Japan under blue sky.  It is really hot and humid. After a series of ceremonies that are very simple, it has become cloudy and is rainy even in Tokyo as if it were in London.


I got an email of acceptance of my paper to a conference that is to be held in England this summer. That is a nice news to me. I can come and see my friends there whom I could not meet since I left UK in 2012. I'm excited to enjoy the journey to England.
