*Home is where you make it* was true✨ Ibaraki City, Osaka Prefecture🫶🏼

Hello♪

It has been three years since I moved from Osaka City to Ibaraki City.

The city's public relations magazine is packed with information!

When I first started living here, I compared the
good points of Osaka City with the things I wasn't quite sure about in Ibaraki City.

That's not the right way to do things, is it?🙅

A year, then two years passed, and now I think Ibaraki City is the best!٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و

Local library📚

They always set up several special corners according to the season.

📚During the Kansai/Osaka Expo

《Various books related to the Expo》

When I noticed it, they told me,
“The 2025 edition is currently checked out at all libraries in the prefecture.
If you'd like...”
so I borrowed an EXPO '70 guidebook.
My son laughed at me, saying,
“Why are you looking at old stuff?”

🤗
I went to EXPO '70 on a school field trip,and I was taken there by a neighbor, so it brought back nostalgic memories!

📚On the day the <Japan Booksellers' Award> was announced

《Past 2nd place winners of the Japan Booksellers' Award》

I forgot to take a picture, but it was interesting and I finished reading it all at once.

Today, 📚《Commemorating the 100th year of the Showa era》

When I was planning a trip, I couldn't find the book I wanted, so I told the staff my request.

Click-clack on the computer💻……
They reserved several books for me at incredible speed.

When I received the notification that my “reserved materials were secured” and went to pick them up, not only were the travel books there, but several books recommended by the librarian had also arrived!

Since they were books from the prefectural library and other cities, they didn't show up when I searched for them myself.

The recommended books were more interesting and fascinating than the guidebooks, and I was truly happy♪

The library staff are all very kind!
Thank you for all your help.
Thank you( ˶ˆ꒳ˆ˵ )

Municipal gymnasium

The time slot I use is 50 yen per visit!

Ibaraki City Culture and Child-rearing Complex Onikuru

There was concert information in the “public relations magazine” I mentioned at the beginning of this article.

I was moved when I heard it in the main hall for the first time!🎼

I saw flyers for concerts being held one after another, made reservations, and learned about various concert information.

When I lived in Osaka City, there were many concerts that were a bit expensive, such as at Festival Hall and Symphony Hall, so as an unemployed pensioner, I am very happy about this

On the way home, to the supermarket
For fruit, ...I'll go with mandarin oranges

There were some rare ones from Turkey, but I put the bargain bag into my shopping basket.

When I peeled it by hand, it was a color I'd never seen before💦
*I thought for a second it was rotten?* and looked it up...
↑Sorry about that

Small, but a mandarin orange with a rich flavor🍊

It was delicious! ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و*

I'm sure the Turkish ones are delicious too, so
I'll buy them along with the blood oranges!
