Horie`s Hobby

スレッド
Horie`s Hobby
I sometimes get my hair cut* at this barbershop in Gifu. It`s retro-cool, & the barber, Mr. Masao Horie is a nice old fellow. And he`s talented! Not only does he cut my hair just the way I like it, he`s also good at photography. He told me it has been his hobby for 50 years. He has even had a book of his black & white photographs published*. I bought it. It`s good.

Grammar:
- * get/have + 目的語 + 過去分詞 = 主語が(目的語が) ~される

An Old Student Pops In

An Old Student Pops In
Today an old* Teragoya student popped in to say hello. Three years ago Yuji went to Australia to study. Today he told us that he graduated from his course & got a job as a tour guide at Ayer`s Rock (Uluru). He said he is having a great time in Australia. Well done, Yuji! We`re proud of you.

Vocabulary:
- * 'old' usually means 古い or 年寄り, but here it means 旧. (Yuji is not 年寄り!)

Brave鳩? No, Brave Sparrow!

Brave鳩? No, Bra...
The title is a joke - brave = 勇ましい, & 'Brave鳩' sounds like 'Braveheart' the movie. Do you know it? But this bird isn`t a pigeon (鳩). It`s a sparrow. Do you understand? Is it a funny joke? No? A little? No? Ah...

Anyway, I was having lunch in the park today, & this sparrow came closer & closer, & finally jumped on my leg. I was surprised. I don`t usually feed birds, but I gave this brave sparrow some of my lunch.

Language Use:
- If you are chatting & want to change the subject [話題を変えたい時、仕切り直したい時] because it becomes boring, confusing, uncomfortable, or irrelevant (見当違い) use "Anyway..." & start a new subject.
