土曜の夜から日曜の朝にかけて降った雪は、最大で10センチくらいに積もりました。早朝散歩で玄関から出ると、門が凍り付いたように固まっていたのにはびっくり。ヤカンでお湯を沸かして解凍しました。
It started to snow overnight, from Saturday night to Sunday morning. At the peak, it was about 10 centimeters deep. When we came out of the porch to go for our early morning walk, the gate was frozen and would not open. So, I boiled water in a kettle and thawed the ice inside the metal hinge.
子供専用の公園横のロウバイ。最近は満開で良い香りを放っていたのに、雪で香りも凍り付いているようです。
The wintersweet blossoms were in full bloom recently, sending off a beautiful scent. This morning, the perfume seemed to be frozen.
The field beyond the wire fence is where we were heading. Until a few years ago, it was a farm field and, therefore, very few trees standing, which makes it an ideal field for dogs to run freely.
今回の動画のタイガは、いつもより更にぽっちゃり体形です。去年の秋に私が坐骨神経痛になって以来、運動不足がたたっています。坐骨神経痛のほうは、最近までは治ったかのように楽で、夕方のジョギングを再開していましたが、この寒さですっかり痛みがぶり返しています。まあ、暖かくなるまでの辛抱ですよ。
Taiga in this video may look chunky but it is because of me. My sciatica started in autumn last year and she has not been getting enough exercise since, while eating the same amount of food. As to my sciatica, it seemed to have gone recently, and I started jogging in the evening as before. However, the current extremely cold weather has brought back the pain, and I am scared of going out into the cold air. On the bright side, it is a matter of time when the weather turns warm enough to bring relief to my sciatica.
