朝より暖。飛駒、１１時の外気温は１１.５度。室温１２度。午前中薪割。昼に至るも、来客無。雑草取り、ミントの枯れた茎を刈払い、周辺をこざっぱりさせる。ヨーコさんがこの頃、よくやっていたのを思い出した次第。陶芸家夫妻より新鮮なヤリイカ恵まれる。梅の蕾を確認したが、明日辺りは咲くような気配がある。
Warmth from morning. Hikoma, the outside temperature at 11 o’clock is 11.5
degrees. Room temperature is 12 degrees. I do firewood fare in the morning.
Even noon, no visitors. Get out in the garden and weed out. Cut the mint’s
withered stalk and make the surroundings rough. I remembered that Yoko
was doing well this time. A fresh squid is blessed by the potters and the
couple. I checked the plum buds, but there are signs that they will bloom
around tomorrow.
