古着

気づいたら一週間以上ブログ書いてなかったですね。
時間たつの早っ!

最近ひさしぶりにヴィンテージのワンピースを買いました。物はポリエステルだし、洗濯できるだろうと手洗いをしてみたら「ギャーーー!」っと叫びたくなるほど水が真っ黄色に!

70年代初頭の服だからな〜。ウン十年分の汚れだったのか・・・?
おそるべし古着。

ロンドンにいた時もパリに行った時は必ず寄る古着屋があって、よく直しては着ていたもんです。そのパリの店は結構直さないといけない状態のものも多かったのですが、ロンドンよりずっと安くて、しかも値切り下手の私でもかなり値切れる店員がいるお店でした。すごくいい加減なので、半額とかに余裕でしてくれた(笑

また行く機会があったら、行ってみよう。

It's been long since the last diary.
It's getting gradually cold here in Japan, but compare to how it was when I was little, the winter's so much warmer now. I guess people in colder countries are happy with this change, but I think this has been a dreadful change, to be honest.

Frog used to be an animal appears just in the summer though we hear they croak even now!
The number of sparrows has gone down by half, and I don't see snails anymore.

I'm still surprised how rapidly the environment has changed while I was away from home.
I was taking a walk yesterday by vinyl houses where strawberries were grown. To raise strawberries in the winter, they put the heating on all day and night.

these days I find too many clues saying our environment is on the verge of collapse. People in Japan are too used to the wealth they live in. I don' know what I can do, but I try to reduce any waste comes from my everyday life.
