Tiny Treasure
Riding back from Tarumi, I stopped to look at a shrine, and I found this tiny glass bottle. It looks old (it has thick seams (継ぎ目), & the glass contains small bubbles). I think it`s for eye drops (目薬).

Vocabulary:
small: 小さな
tiny: 小っちゃな

Oh My God Medicine

Oh My God Medicine
While I was cycling in Ikeda (north of Ogaki) I found these bottles and shards (ガラス片) by the road. The writing on the brown shards says 'トヤマ', '廣貫堂' & '神薬’ (God Medicine?). I think the others are medicine bottles too, except for the short, clear one. There`s nothing written on it, but I think it`s Yakult (drinking yoghurt).

Grammar
- 何と書かれていますか？　『＿＿』と書いてあります = What does this say? It says “___” (“What is written...? '__' is written...” はあんまり使わない)

大阪ラムネ Glass Boa...
My daughter found this small glass boat under a tree near the park. On the bottom, it says '大阪ラムネ (Osaka Ramune), so I guess it contained ラムネ candy, but I`ve never seen this kind of container before. How about you? Have you ever seen a glass ラムネ boat like this? This is all I could find on the internet: http://bikki.blog103.fc2.com/blog-entry-680.html?
Maybe it`s rare...? Well done, my daughter!

Vocabulary:
- this kind of ___ = ___ like this = こんな ___
- 'ラムネ' comes from the English word 'lemonade'

ぼろぼろ Birdhouse

ぼろぼろ Birdhouse
I actually made this birdhouse a few years ago, but it was in pretty bad shape e.g. gaps, loose pieces, rusty nails, rotten wood, etc. So I fixed it & made some changes e.g. I added a retractable (引き込み式) roof. I also made the entry hole smaller i.e. more suitable for small birds. I`ll let you know if a bird moves in.

Vocabulary:
e.g. = for example (例えば)
etc. = etcetera 「エトセトラ」 (とうとう, など)
i.e. = that is (つまり)

Pentax Spotmatic SP - First Ro...
A while ago I bought an old Pentax film camera on ヤフオク. https://en.bloguru.com/otto/415668/pentax-spotmatic-sp
Finally, I finished a roll of film & got it developed* (現像). Yay, my camera works (動く)!

I`m pretty happy with the results, but I think I have to clean inside the main lens. That`s difficult, but one of my students knows how to do it. I will get him to* help me.

Grammar:
* 'get + 目的語 + 過去分詞 (+誰かに)'
* 'get* + 誰か + to 動詞’ [*ask/tellもOKです]

清洲人と清洲ジン飲みたい

清洲人と清洲ジン飲みたい
I live in Ichinomiya, Aichi. When I found out about this gin made nearby, in Kiyosu, I was like*, "Cool, I wanna try it!"

I like** gin & tonic, but tonic water is a little difficult to find in Japan, so I don`t often drink it. Also, tonic water in Japan isn`t like*** tonic water from countries like**** America & Australia, which contains a kind of medicine called quinine ( キニーネ ). Japanese tonic water doesn`t contain quinine, so it`s a little sweeter.

I have a friend from Kiyosu. I want to drink this gin with him, so I can be like*, "今清洲人と清洲ジン飲んでいます！"

Vocabulary:
* (be) like, "___" = 「＿＿」と思う/言う [very casual style]
** like = 好き
*** (be) like = 似る
**** like = ような、例えば

Pentax Spotmatic SP

Pentax Spotmatic SP
I bought an old (1964–76) Pentax Spotmatic camera on Yahoo Auction (ヤフオク). It was pretty cheap, so I wasn`t surprised to find that the internal light meter didn`t work. However, I could fix it. Yay.

I don`t have film yet, so I haven`t taken any photos yet. Actually, I`m not sure how to use this kind of camera yet; I`ve never used one. I will watch some Youtube videos to find out (= learn). Also, the lens is a bit (= a little) dirty inside, which is a common problem in old camera lenses. To clean it, I need to buy some ethanol & purified water, so I haven`t cleaned it yet.

So, I`m not ready to take photos yet, but after I take some, I`ll show you the results.

Grammar
- I`m not sleepy/hungry yet: まだ眠くない / お腹空いていない
- I don`t have/know yet: まだ持ってない / 知らない
- I haven`t decided/finished yet: まだ決めていない / 終わっていない
- I`ve never used...: 使った事がない
- "I`ve never...yet": WRONG

Old Chisel
I found an old chisel at the site of a demolished building. It looked in bad shape (= condition) but I took it home, washed it, sandpapered off the rust, spray-painted the metal parts, & put varnish (ニス) on the wooden part.

It looks pretty good & it works well. I`m glad I picked it up.

Vocabulary
ニス is not English, but it comes from the English word 'varnish': バーニッシュ --> ワニス --> ニス

They Did It Their Way

The one on the right is German, the other two are Japanese. What do you think? Which one do you like best?

Pronunciation:
- scheme: 「スキーム」 (「シェーマ」 is German)
- theme: 「THィーム」 theme park: 「THィームパーク 」(「テーマ」is German)

じゃあ...s and Bot...
An old house in my neighbourhood (近所) was demolished (潰れ) recently. My son and I looked around the site and we found some ceramic insulators (ガイシ) and some jars & bottles. The tall one on the left at the back is a milk bottle, the clear one on the right is Yakult, the clear, short one at the front on the left is for ink, and the small, dark blue one is for eye drops. I`m not sure about the others. Do you know?

Grammar:
- ON the left/right
- AT the front/back
- IN the middle/centre
