うるう日 ‐ on the Leap Day

うるう年の2/29日。
なんだか、プチいいことがたくさんありました。
It was the leap day in 2016 and small happiness came to me for several times.

#1 出勤時に初めて見かけるネコと出会う。
- 暖かくなってくると、街で見かけることが増えてきます
I met a new face of street cats on my way to the office.
It’s getting warmer and we can see more cats in the town.

#2 その前の週に引き続き、手作りパン(新作の“エピ”)を同僚よりいただく
- 香ばしアロマがずっとデスクで漂っていて、気もそぞろに。美味しかったーです。ご馳走さまでした!
One of my colleagues shared with me some bread baked by himself again.
Thanks a lot to him, these new homemade bread were so nice, with incredibly good smell while they were on my desk during work.

#3 同僚より新潟限定きのこの山「笹だんご風味」のお土産。
- まあ、見かけは毒キノコ?よもぎ風味はしないけど、アズキ味しっかり♡
A colleague sitting next to me gave me special “Kinoko no yama” sold at the limited area only.
It tastes like adzuki bean paste, rather than typical chocolate confectioneries.

#4 会議設営の手伝いをしていたら、なくしたフリクションペンを発見
I found a friction ballpoint pen lost before at the conference room.
It’s a Pilot Corporation’s ballpoint pen with erasable ink and I can’t work at the office without it now.

#5 友からほっとする連絡来たる。
- 心配しているからこそ、ちょっと強いこと言っちゃって、言った当の本人が落ち込んでいたという。。。
My friend sent a nice message to me.
It made me feel relieved as I had been worried about her after I told something with a little bit strict advice.

#6 久々の生牡蠣。
- お試しSALE中だった生牡蠣に、菜の花のお浸し添えて大根おろしと三杯酢で。
冷えた日だったので、野菜たっぷりのスープも添えて、美味しい夕ご飯でござりました。
I got nice fresh oysters at cheaper price at a supermarket and really enjoyed them with other dishes at dinner time.

#7 PCとiPhoneのご機嫌が直る。
長らくデザリングができなくなっていたiPhoneとWindows PCの接続がようやく復活。
この友好関係がずっと続きますように。
途中、PCのハードウェアも、iPhone迄もリカバリーが必要な状態に陥り、絶望的に焦りました。。。
2日間に渡って合計6時間以上をWi-Fiがあるご近所Caféで費やすハメに。
まあ、おかげで美味しくて居心地の良いカフェを見つけたということにしておこう。
Finally, my iPhone & Windows PC were successfully connected via tethering for internet access again, after I spent more than 6 hours for 2 consecutive days at a café with free Wi-Fi. I was almost in a panic when they both have fallen into a state required system recovery while I was just trying to update their OS & applications. The good thing was I found the very cozy café near my place, serving good meals & drinks.
