自我介绍

すみません、全部、関西弁（かんさいべん Kansai dialet）になってしまいました！
いや、初めはそんなつもりじゃなかったんですが、「お母ちゃん」のことを考えている間に、どうしても「標準語 （ひょうじゅんご Tokyo standard）」で話せなくなってしまったのです。
難しいことは言ってないので、たぶんそのまま聞いても、何となくわかってもらえると思います。

なお、「お彼岸（おひがん） equinox day」は春と秋にあって、それぞれを日本では「春分の日」「秋分の日」と呼んでいます。
昼間は私たち、生きている者の時間、夜は死んだ人たちの時間。その両方が近づく日、ということで、先祖（せんぞ ancestors )に会いに、墓参り（はかまいり  visit to a grave )をする日になっています。

私は本当に、23日に墓参りに行くつもりでしたが、台風が来たので、あきらめました…　お母ちゃん、ごめん…

Life Lessons from Aesop's Fables

Episode 15: The Fox & the Stork

Working from home and avoiding the journey to and from the office is saving many of us at least an hour every day, according to a 2023 study.

But we're not always using that saved time for ourselves — we're actually spending a lot of that time working.

The US-based National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) did a survey that looked at how workers in 27 countries used their time when working from home.

On average, the daily time saved by working from home was found to be 72 minutes.

Workers in China saved 102 minutes per day, while in Japan it was 100 minutes, and in India it was 99.

But the study also found that, on average, 40% of that saved time was spent working — either on the worker's main job or on an additional one.

Workers in Malaysia, Singapore and Taiwan said they used more than half of their saved time to work.

So what happened to the rest of that extra time?

According to the study, an average of 34% was used as leisure time — with people in Germany and Austria using almost half of their extra time for leisure.

And 11% — about eight minutes per day — was spent looking after children or other family members.

The NBER said children had gotten a better deal with parents working from home — but that the big winners were employers, who got extra work time from their employees.

Work from Home Study: We Save Time but Work More

I order a decaf latte and an egg mayo sandwich. It is interesting that the brown bread is still "frozen" so she only has white bread available. That says a lot about how we treat food here.
