Daylighting

I made a window in the northwest wall using the space where the exhaust fan used to be.
Hollow polycarbonate sheets was temporarily inserted.

Wire art

I became a certified electrician.
This was because I needed to rewire my house.
After the proficiency test, I had a month before the announcement the result, so I spent my time making sea creatures using pieces of electric wires.

Spring flowers

There were few people at the shrine near sunset, and it looked more desolate than when I visited there before. There were no birds.
However, the plum blossoms were in bloom, not forgetting the season, as the old song says,

"人はいさ心も知らず ふるさとは花ぞ昔の香ににほひける"

紀貫之 /  古今和歌集 (905)

"The present will soon become the past,  no one can stop it,

all I can do is watch the seasons go by."

Psalm 110 —You are an eternal priest

Heb-En interlinear translation of Psalm 110

תהילים פרק קי

לדוד מזמור נאם יהוה ׀ לאדני שב לימיני עד־אשית איביך הדם לרגליך׃
מטה־עזך ישלח יהוה מציון רדה בקרב איביך׃
עמך נדבת ביום חילך בהדרי־קדש מרחם משחר לך טל ילדתיך׃
נשבע יהוה ׀ ולא ינחם אתה־כהן לעולם על־דברתי מלכי־צדק׃
אדני על־ימינך מחץ ביום־אפו מלכים׃
ידין בגוים מלא גויות מחץ ראש על־ארץ רבה׃
מנחל בדרך ישתה על־כן ירים ראש׃

Wall insulation

I began to repair the wall.

Winter, which had exiled my father from the world was still trying to take the heat out of me, so I drilled into the walls to stop it.

The space between the outer and inner walls of the old house was covered with "SUN" (glass wool?),  but not enough. I removed them and filled its place with Extruded Polystyrene (XPS) forms. By eliminating the voids and making the house more airtight, I am protecting myself from the cold. The work takes time so winter will be over before it's finished.

 

 

 

 

My father

My father died.

It was very cold morning. (−8°C /7:00)

He had a heart attack. 

The hospital where he was being treated was designated as COVID-19 medical institution, and they refused to accept general emergency patients, so he was delayed.

And he didn't survive.

Strong cold front and the medical collapse caused by Coronavirus rilieved him of his long suffering. 

Oh, take away the pain in my heart !

His funeral (eight days after)
The crematorium was crowded
