I don't think autumn is here yet because it's still very hot during the day. However, I feel like it's getting cooler and cooler lately during nighttime. Personally, I really like autumn, especially in October. During this time of the year, there is so much choice in delicious food options, such as fish and fruit. I love Pacific saury and grapes... My favorite dish in autumn is a toss-up between Pacific saury and grapes. I can't wait to eat them! In the meantime, the number of new cases in Japan remains high, due to a Covid variant called BA.5, but thankfully it has started decreasing little by little lately. At this rate, I hope we will have very few cases in October. I have actually scheduled a trip with my friends for the first time in 7 years, in October. I haven't yet received the 4th vaccination, because I'm having trouble receiving the invitation, but I really want to proceed with it. However, I still feel safe to go on this trip and return home without any problems. Since this is an opportunity for all of us to get back together again, I hope we have a great time!
