Memory of this summer
2016-08-23
 While outside temperature realizes that it is felt coolly, and wind was finally over at around 28 degrees all day long today when I fall on the evening, a day and return to the Kasaoka church, open the key of the second-floor room and enter inside.
  I notice heat as it is hard to believe it to be offended by immediately staying in a room. It is with 37 degrees that I review it without thinking that I look at the thermometer and want to confirm or shows temperature of 39 degrees. The afternoon sun hit well and was hot summer vacation as a head was absentminded.
  The stomach does not stand particularly in the summer when I spend it thinking that it is hot. However, I sometimes think about summer vacation when it was a primary schoolchild. I remembered good old summer vacation not being interested in temperature of then being how warm in particular in this summer.
  When I climbed the mountain with a classmate and lower-grade student nearby and ran in the days of a primary schoolchild in a mountain in half day during summer vacation and I became tired out and came back, mother gave it tea lukewarm a little in silence as much as desired and served you rice. When I ate rice and was going to go for an interesting thing immediately, I said by tone of command saying "wait for what came so that I took a nap, and a friend invited you".
  As there is no help for it, wind blows in a house when I lie and sleeps for very comfortable wind well all too soon. In that way I remember that I look into my face from the porch while the boy of a second grader laughs with a smile when I wake up incidentally while I take a nap. The cat which I kept not a dog in a house led it as if I was up hastily and said that let's go when everybody was gathering in shoes and went and performed it together to the entrance of the mountain.
  When the sunlight is strong and recalls it while it is hot on earth how you played, I remember only one clearly. Stopped damming up the flow of the small brook and made a dam and prevented water from coming and scooped a crucian carp and the killifish which scooped the water of the puddle of the quite deep brook in the meantime, and were inside, and there seemed to be what I divided it together equally and took home in a house several times. "Go back up from mother each time in the place that there was. It remembered, I cannot see the trouble alone to have always got yelled at.
  It was a soaked with sweat memory, but could always take cold bath when it was really hot and was hopeless as soon as I returned. I always think that mother might be thinking really well when she thinks so that heat stroke and heat stroke do not have it now. Oneself did that weeding, the washing of the field varied and was the person who worked without time to take a rest. The laundry of more children increased in summer and I always squatted down and put a washboard on the tub and, after that, washed the washing machine because it was the few time.
  It is the present times, and there are an air-conditioner and a refrigerator and a washing machine, and the times when I was able to live lively feel like strangely good old when for the shopping every day in the times when you do not need to go without thanks and the incommodiousness to mother feeling. I think that this summer felt to be particularly hot might remind of the summer vacation of elementary school days. Really hot days continue. Please spend it being careful about health.
