I took the afternoon off, so I thought I would go shopping. But I decided to stay home and have a lazy day. I can't stand the heat in Japan. It's extremely hot to spend time outside. It's getting hotter and hotter these days. I feel sorry for children who can't play outside due to this heat. I feel nostalgic about the days when I used to play until dark.
