September meant to be one of my busiest months of this year, but last week was a kind of short break, so I went to the gathering to appeal no nukes. Somehow, I tend to make my life even busier when I’m already busy. Runner’s high again.
I’ve joined some protests in the past, especially past few years, but this was actually the first time I joined a protest against nuclear power plants. I wanted to join in the past, but my schedule didn’t allow at that time, so finally. Encouraged by the crowd bigger than I expected, and there were younger people, too.
Since ‘no nuke’ is one of the biggest agenda for me, I should join more activities. I happened to have heard a remark that said that nuclear power plants’ resistance to earthquake is not strong enough to withstand magnitude 7 earthquakes, and thus it is likely that if a bigger earthquake happens, another incident like Fukushima would happen. Facts proving the danger of nuclear power plants one after another….
Having said that, today’s ‘time for that’
We had the harvest moon this month. Finally, I was successful in making shiratama (sweet rice dumplings) for this day! It’s been a tradition I’ve wanted to try, but the rice flour for dumplings were always sold out on that day in past few years, so I couldn’t make any. (Yeah I know I just should have bought earlier….)
I had it with my favourite sweets, anmitsu! Fruits shiratama cream anmitsu is my favourite dessert along with parfait. With the Lady Borden ice cream, it was just perfect.
…oh well, I seem to live to eat, after all.
