午後3時過ぎJessとOnline talk。時間が遅くなり子供たちはもうおねんねだった。明日からフランス、Normadyを見ること、Oliの算数問題、私からはdesmoidや誕生会、Mariのsleeping disorderの改善、French professor friend、🌻・トマトのことなど。言いたくないけど嫌なTrumpのことなど。30分かけて私のペンパルMs Jan Scaceの家を訪ねてくれたお礼（この、記憶力・注意深さに感銘）。信じられないほど人に頼まれたことを大切に守る人だ、有難い。（投稿記事: Old penpal Janの家 in L.A.）
Nov 13 Jessica : Today, I went to the address you gave me for your pen friend Ms. Jan Scace. There was an apartment building there. I talked with its owner, and learnt he bought the lot from a builder who had built this new building in 1988.
11/25 mail to Dr Oga: 「今日も良い天気ですね。昨日は娘と早稲田孫が来ましたので近所の龍華寺まで車椅子で連れて行ってもらい、大きな厚物（観賞用の大きいもの）の菊を鑑賞しました。とても良い日でした。 その前の日はイタリア人一家4人が来て、75歳ぐらいのシチリア島出身、ミラノ工科大卒元エンジニアの＊＊のパパが、1年前に妻を亡くした話の5分後には、陽気にカンツォーネを大きい声で楽しく歌うのにはびっくりし、なんだか楽しくて笑いが止まりませんでした。」

Seoul wants N Korean troops to leave Russia immediately oct20 Kelly Ng BBC News
South Korea has summoned the Russian ambassador, seeking the “immediate withdrawal” of North Korean troops which it says are being trained to fight in Ukraine.
About 1,500 North Korean soldiers, including those from the special forces, have already arrived in Russia, according to Seoul’s spy agency. In a meeting with the ambassador Georgiy Zinoviev, South Korea’s vice-foreign minister Kim Hong-kyun denounced the move and warned that Seoul will “respond with all measures available”. Mr Zinoviev said he would relay the concerns, but stressed that the cooperation between Moscow and Pyongyang is “within the framework of international law”. It is unclear what cooperation he was referring to.
The ambassador did not confirm allegations that North Korea has sent troops to fight with Russia’s military. Later on Monday, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told reporters the cooperation between the two nations is “not directed against third countries”. He added it “should not worry anyone”, according to Russian state news agency Tass. Pyongyang has not commented on the allegations.

Why is the world so violent and painful? And yet how can the world be this beautiful?

“Komorebi” literally translates to “sunlight leaking through trees” or “sunlight filtering through leaves“. It’s more than just a description of the light; it’s about the aesthetic and emotional experience of witnessing this particular natural scene. The word is often associated with feelings of peace, serenity, and a connection with nature. It highlights the beauty of the ever-changing patterns of light and shadow in a forest setting.
なのに今、これほど愛子さま待望論が盛り上がっているのは、「なぜ天皇家にお子さまがいらっしゃるのに、甥っ子に皇位を継がせなければならないのだろう」という素朴な庶民の感覚による疑問から生まれているのではないか。皇位を卑近な例で考えるのも恐縮であるが、自分の家に優秀な跡取りの娘がいるのに、わざわざ甥っ子に家業を継いでほしいと考えるだろうか。多くの国民は、娘に継がせようと考えるのではないか。 FULL TEXT
