I Go to Marc Chagall Paintings Exhibition

'Les Amoureux en bleu' is the name of the painting

Sculpted by an Italian Artist, Sandro Chia

I went to Utsunomiya Museum of Art to see Marc Chagall paintings' exhibition with my wife the other day.

It was a rainy weekday morning, so it's not crowded inside as I expected.

We were able to spend a quite couple of hours watching awesome paintings there.

The Day Has Come in the Tennis Tournament

Takeru is sixteen years old now. He is far far larger than nine years ago.

Takeru on the right was seven years old.

I was defeated in a prefectural tennis tournament one week ago.

The opponent was a little bit different from usual at that time.

He was the son of my former tennis coach.

I remember that I told him nine years ago,
'You'll be able to become a very strong tennis player. '
'I'm sure you'll beat me at a tennis tournament in the future.'

The day had eventually come to us one week ago.

Poppy Flower Fields Near Tennis Courts Are Full-Bloomed

I got up a bit earlier than usual before heading to tennis courts to take photos of poppy flowers.

Since poppies are full-bloomed  these days, seeing flowers are sometimes more fun than playing tennis. lol

I Drink Beer at Japanese Pub Shusse-kaidou

I went to a Japanese pub called 'Shusse-Kaido' to drink beer and eat sea food with my wife.
It's good to drink beer on such a hot day as temperature goes above 30 degrees centigrade.

A New Bike Has Come

I go to and come back from my office by bike everyday, yes, everyday even it's sunny, rainy, windy or snowy.

The bike I used to ride ran pretty long distance; I guess it ran more than 15,000 km.

So I decided to buy a new one.

The new white bike came to me the other day; I bought it on the web.

It runs very good and I'm very happy to ride it everyday now.
