where is the rain?/雨はどこに？

It rained all day yesterday, and finally it felt like the rainy season was here. However, it's very sunny and hot today with a blue sky above us. It feels quite nice since the humidity is not very high. Due to this weather, people are worried about a water shortage this summer in Japan. It will be very hard for us if it happens, especially because we will need to do lots of laundry and washing as soon as our baby comes!!

The picture is my fingernails (totally unrelated to the rain). I rarely do my nails, but when I had a friend of mine over for dinner last week, just for fun she did my nails one last time before I have a baby. Since the polish is starting to come off, I'll have to remove it very soon. So, I thought I'll take a picture to keep it as a memory.

昨日は一日中雨が降り、やっと梅雨らしくなったなと思っていました。しかし、今日は青空の広がるいい天気で暑いです。湿度があまり高くないので、気持ちが良いです。 こんな天気なので、日本ではこの夏水不足が心配されています。赤ちゃんが産まれたら洗濯やら洗い物やらがたくさんあるのに、もしそうなったら大変です。

雨とは全く関係ありませんが、写真は私の爪です。普段あまり爪をいじらないのですが、先週うちに友達を夕食に呼んだら、お産前の最後の楽しみとして爪の手入れをしてマニキュアをぬってくれたのです。今は剥がれてきてしまっているので、もうすぐきれいに取らなければなりません。せっかくなので、思い出に写真を撮っておこうと思ったのです。
