★New friend

先日は、宇都宮第九合唱団のコンサートへ。
The other day, I went to a music concert by an Utsunomiya chorus group in Tochigi. They performed Beethoven's 9th Symphony.

指揮者に飯森範親さん、演奏に日本フィルハーモニー交響楽団をお迎えして。 
いいですね。クラッシック。正直、始まる直前まではウトウトしていたのですが(笑)、始まった途端に目が冴えました。 ほんと、迫力もあって良かったんですよ♪ 
The concert had guest conductor Norichika Iimori and The Japan Philharmonic Orchestra. It is nice to listen to the classic music concert sometimes. Actually, I was almost falling sleep but got wide-awake right after the concert started. Yes, it was great.

始まる前には、第九茶会で、お茶を頂いてきました。 
皆の前でお手前を披露しているのは、小学生です。すごいでしょ。
新しいお友達、ヨっちゃん。
先月から数年ぶりにお茶を習い始めて、先輩のヨッちゃんと一緒にお稽古しています。 
素直で、スマートな可愛い女の子。 ピンボケしちゃった。ゴメンネ。
Before the concert starts, I had Japanese green tea. Visitors who have bought special tickets can enjoy powdered green tea in a tea-ceremony room before the performances start. The girl who was showing skill at serving tea. She is around 10 years old. Isn't she great?!
She is my new friend. I started taking lessons for Japanese tea ceremony from last month and she is a skilled classmate. She is a good, smart, lovely girl. Sorry that picture is blurry.

帰りに外に出ると、イチョウの木が空と足元を黄色に照らしていました。
After the concert, when I went out of the building, the night sky and street were illuminated with the beautiful yellow color of the ginkgo trees.
