ちょっと外に出てみた Just Went Out To Get Some Fresh Air


ミュンヘンは外出制限が出て、ここ数日外出控えていたのですけど、今日はちょこっと外の空気を吸いに出てみました。
Munich is now on lockdown, so I haven't been out of our flat for a few days.  But I took a short break from lockdown and went out to get some fresh air.

  一番の理由はこの桜を見たかったからです。
Actually, the main reason for going out was to see Sakura (cherry blossoms.)

 色んな種類の桜が咲いていました。
 Many different kinds of Sakura were blossoming.






 イースターの時期なのになんだかコロナ騒ぎで影が薄い。
It's the Easter season, but the Coronavirus news are overpowering.


 なんて可愛い形。
Such a cute shape.

 この緑の色がめちゃ好きだな。
I love this green color.


お店に列はなく、商品もいっぱいありました。
There were no queues and plenty of products in the store.

自宅で楽しく過ごす Enjyoing Days At Home

 最近のミュンヘンはとってもポカポカ陽気で気持ち良いのですコロナウイルスで外出控えています。
Munich is getting much warmer nowadays and so nice, but we are trying to stay home as much as we could due to the Coronavirus.

 今日は朝からオレンジでミッキー作って。
I made Micky with an orange this morning.

 とんでもなく久しぶりにバナナケーキを焼いて。甘い良い香りがアロマセラピー。
I baked a banana bread.  I don't even remember when was the last time since it was so long ago.  The sweet aroma from the oven was so therapeutic.

 良い感じいい感じ。Looking good.

 自宅勤務の夫とお昼一緒に食べて。アボガド丼風。主人のはお米だけど、私のは白いご飯に見えるけどカリフラワー。
Ate lunch with my husband who is now working from home.  This is sort of like Avocado Don (avocado over rice.)  His is rice, but mine is actually cauliflower though it looks like white rice.

 ヨーロッパの生活が長くなった今は、ランチの後はエスプレッソ。
After living in Europe for a while, now we enjoy espresso after lunch.

その後は免疫力を高める為に昼寝 、それにビタミンDもゲット。
Then, I took a nap to boost my immunity and get Vitamin D.

春かな It's Spring

ミュンヘンはとっても暖かくなって来ました。今日の最高気温はおそらく20度近くありました。お店に行く途中、公園のベンチでちょっと目を閉じて周りの音を聴いてみました。美しい音です。
It's getting much warmer in Munich.  Today's highest probably was close to 68F.  On the way to a super market, I sat on a bench in a park, closed my eyes and listened to the sound of surroundings.  Such a beautiful sounds.

お店までの道のりは歩いて7分くらいなのに、何故かお店に着くまでに30分はかかりました。
It's only about 7 min walk to a store, but it took over 30min somehow.




 色とりどり色んな花が咲いていました。
So many colorful flowers were blooming.

桜も咲いていましたよ。春が来ましたね。
Even the cherry blossoms were blooming.  Spring is here.

おやき作ったよ Made Oyaki

これはおやき。私が育った長野県地方の料理です。
This is called Oyaki which is a local cuisine in Nagano region where I grew up.  

やっぱり時々食べたくなるのですよね、でも面倒で作らなかったんです。でも、や〜っと数週間前に作りました。一番大好きなのは茄子と味噌の餡。
Sometimes, I have a craving for this, but I was always too lazy to make them.  However, I finally made some a few weeks ago.  My favorite filling is Miso paste and eggplant. 

伝統的にはおやきは灰の中で焼くんですけど、もちろん我が家では無理。なので、オーブンで焼きました。美味しかったですー。実は思ったより結構簡単で時間もかからなかった。もっと頻繁に作ったらいいんだよね。。😂
 Traditionally, Oyaki is cooked in the ashes of an open fire, but it's not possible at home.  So, I cooked them in an oven.  They were very good.  It was actually very easy and didn't take much time.  I should make them more often!😂

3月の挑戦 March challenge

今日は3月1日。今日は新しい事始めるのに良い日だな。それで、決意した。余りにも長い間何の運動もしていない私、自慢している場合じゃない。今月は運動プログラムを開始する事に決めた。
Today is March 1st.  Today is a good day to start something new.  So, I came up with a decision.  Because I haven't done any exercise at all for a long time and I cannot be too proud of it.  I have decided to start an exercise program this month. 

今月の挑戦は。毎日少なくとも30回のスクワット。😁 さて、1日も欠かさずに出来るかな。とりあえず1日目は完了💪
This month's challenge is 30 squats minimum every day.😁 Let's see if I could be so disciplined for the next 30 days.  1st day is completed💪
