湿気がなくて、涼しい風が吹き抜けてサイコーの季節。
石垣島に住んではや何年目でしょうか？４月の石垣が最高といえます。
だって夏は、特に７月は本当に蒸し暑くて、家に引きこもりになってしまいます。
ちょっとお買い物で外に出ると、もういけません。玄関のドアを開けてすぐに床に倒れ込んでしまうくらい太陽にやられてしまうのです。
そんな季節が来る前に、この４月の素晴らしさをいっぱい吸い込んでエネルギー補給しておかなくては！
April is the season called "Urizun" in Ishigaki Island.
It's a fantastic season with no humidity and cool winds blowing through. I've been living in Ishigaki Island for several years now, and I can confidently say that April is the best month here.
Because summer, especially July, is extremely humid and makes me want to stay inside my house all day long. Even going out for a quick shopping trip can be unbearable. As soon as I open the front door, I feel like collapsing on the floor due to the scorching sun.
Before such a season arrives, I must absorb the greatness of this April and replenish my energy!
今日はお友達が久しぶりにお外で遊ぶというのでご一緒させてもらいました。
しばらくぶりに見上げる空はほんとうに突き抜けて青くて心がすっとしました。
視線を落とすと猫のうんちがたくさん散らばっているのには閉口しましたが…そうここは通称猫島、捨て猫がいっぱい住んでいる人工の島なのです。
週末になると餌を上げたり、猫をなでにいろんな人が訪れる島が石垣島にはあります。
ネコ好きさんにはおすすめの場所ですが、ゴミやうんちが散乱してて、公衆トイレの前はすごい数のハエとひどい悪臭がしてて…どうにかならないものか？
お友達のパパはさすがに偉い！帰りがけにゴミを拾って帰っていました。
ちょっとでも貢献しなきゃね、大谷さんの言う通り、「ゴミを拾えない人は幸せも拾えない」ってね〜
Today, I joined my friends who were playing outside for the first time in a while.
The sky, which I looked up to after a long time, was piercingly blue, and it made my heart feel refreshed.
However, when I looked down, I was dismayed by the large amount of cat feces scattered around... This is called "cat island," an island created through reclamation where many abandoned cats live.
On weekends, many people visit the island to feed the cats or stroke them, making it a recommended spot for cat lovers. However, there are problems with garbage and feces scattered around, and the area in front of the public toilet is full of flies and a terrible odor... Is there anything that can be done about it?
My friend's dad is truly admirable! He picked up the garbage on the way home. I have to make some contribution, as Mr. Ohtani said, "People who cannot pick up garbage cannot pick up happiness."
