I had a flat tire of my bicycle. I was going to ask a repair shop to fix it, but usually it takes about 1,000 yen. So I tried to fix it by myself. The tube inside the tire seemed too old, so I thought it should be replaced.
It was really tough work to release the tire from the frame because of the rust. But I managed to do that.

I'm really tired since I met my friend from UK on Tuesday and Wednesday. It was a nice and enjoyable time.
I'm going to write about that soon.

I started carrying a lunch box with me last week since I spent a lot of money these days. I make most of side dishes for my lunch on weekend and freeze them. So I have to eat the same thing for every lunch.

Our office is closed from August 13th to 16th. It is Obon period. I don't have any special plan for this holiday. Yesterday, I went to a big bookstore with my niece. The book store is too far from my house to get there by bicycle, so I asked my niece to go with me by her car.
The bookstore also sold stationery, so I bought two refills for my notebook, and a double-faced tape. I'd like to arrange my notebook for my autumn trip to UK.

I have never been walking lately. I usually take a passometer with me. It can connect to my PC and record how much I walked. The record says I walked for a long time just once last month.
Last month, I tried to listen to English materials 3 hours a day, so I neglected walking. I have to go walking more this month! 

I'm under the weather and have a little headache. I wish the weekend comes soon.

I'm trying to avoid caffeine lately.I heard that caffeine might cause a headache. I often have a bad one.
I used to have a cup of tea every morning. But I quit it. Instead of that, I have a cup of herb tea. I also used to have a few cups of coffee during my work, but I quit it, too.
I don't know that works well for me. But I couldn't sleep at all after I had a cup of tea outside. Before avoiding caffeine, taking caffeine didn't affect my sleep. I'm really surprised how caffeine works for us.

I'm giving myself up to avocados lately. The supermarket near my house usually sells them for 138 yen. But they sells them for only 88 yen once a week. I try to buy them then.
My favorite is Avocado don (Rice with avocado). It is very delicious, even though it is cooked by just putting avocado on the top of rice.

I took a day off today. At first, I was going to see a movie. Women can see movies for 1,000 yen every Tuesday! But I had a terrible headache in the morning. So I gave it up.
After spending time at home lazily, I went to a restaurant to have lunch. The restaurant was famous for its rice omelet. I don't eat egg lately, but I wanted to have it.
The rice omelet was delicious, but they were impolite to customers a little. They forgot to bring me a glass of water at first. And they even forgot to bring me chopsticks and a knife and fork. The restaurant was so crowded that they must have been very busy. But I don't want to go there again. 

I have 5.5 paid holidays now. We can't carry over a half holiday, so I should take a half day off by the end of March.
At first, I was going to take a half day off on one of Tuesdays. Because women have to pay only 1,000 yen for the movies on Tuesdays. But there don't seem to be any interesting movies now in my town.
A half holiday sounds like more special than a holiday. I want to use well it, so I have to choose the day carefully.
