daily stuff

 
The snow Tokyo got on Thursday took its time melting, (there was still some on Sunday!)…creating slippery roadways & sidewalks.

So many people got hurt on Friday that at one point you couldn’t get hold of an ambulance!

Not to mention all the vehicles that got into accidents.

Any “hill” or slope even the slightest one was something you could slip on.

It took me longer to make my way to the bakery and market on Friday because I had to choose walkways that were not in the shadows.

Though it was fun seeing the snowmen around the neighborhood 

and the cats keeping warm...

I definitely don’t envy the people who live in areas where there is way more snow and they have to shovel the stuff.

Every year many elderly die in Japan because they have to shovel the snow off of their roof tops to keep it from collapsing.

Today is a national holiday, the Coming-of-age day...when 20 year olds are considered adults.

Bummer that a lot of ceremonies have been cancelled due to the pandemic.

Have a good week.
