Re: Mowing on a mid-summer day for the first time in 23 days 3週間ぶりの真夏の草刈り

Tropical days have been still continuing in my hometown too. Since the weather forecast said that it would be a bit cooler today than yesterday as it may be almost cloudy, I did the duty again for our small field that we have grown nothing but weeds. I thought I couldn’t continue any longer when 2 hours passed, but I managed to complete as scheduled. I was relieved to think that I’d be released for three weeks or so from the quite heavy work. (I understand it very well that this small job is of just no significance, comparing with severe hardship that victims from that big earthquake in Kumamoto have been struggling in order to resume their daily lives.)

【日本語訳】

タイトル: 3週間ぶりの真夏の草刈り
私の故郷でも、まだうだるような暑さが続いています。天気予報では今日は終日曇り空で昨日より少し涼しくなるかもしれないとのことだったので、また雑草以外に何も栽培していない小さな畑の草刈りを行いました。2時間経ったところでもう限界かと思いましたが、なんとか予定通りに終えることができました。これで3週間ほど、重労働から解放されると思うと、ほっとしました。(熊本の大地震の被災者の方々が、日常生活を取り戻すために大変な苦労をされていることを考えると、このようなことで弱音を吐くなど恥ずかしいことはよく分かっています。)
