Glad to see the entrance of autumn / 秋の気配が嬉しい（My Actifit Report Card: September 4 2024）

（日本語は後半にあります）

【English】

Yesterday and today, the mornings and evenings have become much cooler, and the breeze has begun to smell like autumn. It is still the beginning of September and it will probably get hot again, but even so, my body and mind feel much better these days when there is a lull in the heat.

We turned off the air conditioning for the first time in a long time yesterday, after leaving it on for probably two months already. I even left the window open a bit when I went to bed, and a cool breeze flowed in and I was able to sleep soundly. Autumn is my favorite season of the year, so I hope it comes as soon as possible and lasts as long as possible.

In the morning I walked to the park where the ponies were. It was still before people arrived, and the ponies were leisurely playing in the sand and eating grass with their faces out of the fence. I was able to get close enough to take their picture, but they were much bigger than they looked from afar. They were eating grass as if they didn't care about me at all, but when I looked closely, I couldn't figure out where the horses' eyes were looking... I felt somewhat uneasy, so I left the scene.

At the base of a tree in the park, I found a mushroom that grows every summer. I think it is probably a Laetiporus versisporus.

Yesterday and today were busy with a few things to do, such as taking my eldest son to the hospital (he is receiving sublingual immunotherapy to treat hay fever) and taking my second son to and from his swimming school. Still, it was much easier than traveling under the blazing sun like I had to do a few days ago. Conclusion: hot weather is exhausting!

Even now, as I sit at my PC to draft this blog, I am glad to enjoy the cool breeze coming in through the window. I wish lots of Actifit this autumn!

昨日、今日と朝夕がだいぶ涼しくなり、風に秋の匂いが混じり始めました。といっても、まだまだ9月の頭でまた暑くなるのでしょうが、それでもこうした暑さの小休止的な日があると身体も心も随分楽になります。

おそらくもう2ヶ月ほどつけっ放しだった冷房を、昨日久しぶりにOFFにしました。寝る時も少しだけ窓を開けておいたら、涼しい風が流れ込んできて熟睡できました。秋は私が一年で一番好きな季節なので、できるだけ早くやってきて、そしてできるだけ長く続いて欲しいです。

午前中にポニーのいる公園まで歩きました。まだ人が来る前の時間帯で、ポニーたちはのんびりと砂で遊んだり、柵から顔を出して草を食べたりしていました。近寄って写真を撮らせてもらいましたが、遠くから見るよりもずっと大きいんですね。私のことは全然気にしないといった感じで草を食べていましたが、よく見ると馬の目はどこを見ているのか分からず・・・何となく不安な気持ちになったのでその場を離れました😅

公園の木の根元に、毎年夏になると生えてくるキノコを発見。多分「ヒラフスベ」だと思います。

昨日今日は長男の通院（花粉症治療のため舌下免疫療法を受けています）や、次男のスイミングスクールの送迎など、ちょいちょいやることもあり・・・それでも、数日前までの炎天下を移動するよりはずっと楽でした。結論：暑いと疲れる！

ブログの下書きのためPCに向かっている今も、窓から入ってくる涼しい風が嬉しくてたまりません。この秋はたくさんActifitできますように！
