Daylight saving time has started today, and the clock moved ahead an hour at two o’clock this morning. I have lost an hour of sleep…
Since the cell phone automatically adjusts the time, I do not have to be aware of anything when I wake up with the alarm on my phone. Yet, even so, I feel a little anxious before going to sleep for fear that something trouble would happen.
It means the beginning of summer, but the climate here is still winter. It snowed this morning with the low temperature.

I am an early bird, while my husband is a night owl. I like the morning type because it seems healthy. But I read an article about a study that if a night-type person gets up early forcibly, his/her productivity drops.
I have a slight doubt around this kind of study. Yet, it is a fact that my husband used to be in a daze every time he got up early. So I thought it might be better not to force him to get up early from now on.
But the different sleeping types make us hard to act together…

A cruise ship has finally visited Canada for the first time since the pandemic began. According to the news story, this ship is taking a seven-day cruise from San Diego to Vancouver and docked at the port of Victoria last weekend.
As for the concern of the spreading of Covid, the news also says many cruise ship companies have prepared to prevent the infection, with full testing regimes and enough medical facilities.
The tourism and hospitality industry in Canada must be jumping for joy.

Hearing of recent movement in space, I feel like space and planets are our neighborhoods expanded from Earth.
For example, it has been decided that Canadian laws will apply to crimes committed by Canadians on the Moon and in lunar orbit as well as on the ISS. It sounds like it will become natural that many Canadians are there.
Also, the increase of space debris, unnecessary artificial satellites or rocket fragments, has been a problem. We might need a garbage collection day like on the ground!

レッスンの感想
昨日のレッスン１回分を犠牲にして、取れた予約で今日もB先生の日記添削レッスンを受けることが出来た。
あまり修正箇所がなく、先生からも「上手になっている」と褒められた。
でも過去に書いた日記を引っ張り出しているだけなので、先生の指導に合わせて書いた訳じゃないんだけどね。
もちろん、褒められれば当然嬉しいけど！
4つ目の日記で、先生からNetflixの韓国ドラマ「Space Sweepers」を教えてもらった。
まさにこの日記の内容と同じで、スペースデブリをお片付けする話らしい。
後でチェックしてみよう。
