New Logo, New Signs

スレッド
New Logo, New Signs
Today at our Gifu school, workers put up* new signs with our new company logo. What do you think? Unfortunately I haven`t received new business cards with the new logo yet, so I have to put up with** using my old ones a little longer...

I hope the sign attracts (引く) lots of new students!

Vocabulary
* put up = 立てる, 掲げる
** put up with = 我慢する

Postcard Postscript

スレッド
Postcard Postscript
I bought some old postcards at a fleamarket last Saturday. Like me, they are old, discoloured (日焼け) & devalued (値下げされた). However, I like this colour for painting pictures on. This is a painting of the view from my room when I was in hospital recently for a minor operation.

P.S. - I sent this postcard to my brother.

Vocabulary:
The prefix (接頭辞) 'post-' may mean:
1. after (後) e.g. postscript/P.S. (追伸), postoperative (術後), postpone (延期する)
2. 郵便 e.g. postcard (葉書), postbox (郵便ポスト), post office (郵便局)

Fleamarket Bargains

スレッド
Fleamarket Bargains
Today there was a fleamarket* in Gifu, near my school. I bought a few things - the towel was only ¥300 - a bargain (お得)! The kobito-zukan characters were only ¥50 for the lot** - another bargain!! The car was even cheaper - only ¥10 - what a fantastic bargain!!! Finally, the old postcards were ¥500 for 6 . Is that a bargain? Hmmm... maybe not.

* a flea is a kind of insect (蚤) - in the past, old clothes sold in fleamarkets sometimes had fleas
** the lot = まとめ, everything
