Apparently I went back home and watched lots of movies. Frozen 2 was fun~

February

Went traveling with Pu-chan, went to Yamanashi with my wife, and had Shiho-shan’s café latte. Did quite a lot of things and went to various places.

March

SHIROBAKO the Movie, pan-fried soup dumplings in Togoshi Ginza!!

Around here is when I started staying home more due to self-restraint measures.

The pan-fried soup dumplings were really delicious. I want to drink outside in nice weather during the day.

Self-restraint. From around here I was mostly home. Tried UofPeople (did 1 term but didn’t continue), started growing green onions. Green onions are cute.

May

Tried growing basil and arugula, got a NINTENDO SWITCH and started playing Tetris. I’m getting into Tetris again lately.

Was working on DFM support, a particularly busy month for feature development.

June

Apparently did horse racing, watched movies, made presentation materials. Around here I realized: my memories from June (when I was mostly at home) are less vivid than my memories from January and February (before self-restraint)…

July

Went to see Princess Mononoke and gave a DFM presentation.

August

DTM ended when the software trial ended. Miyazaki Hayao’s studio had a different aura. I only looked at it from outside, but I’m glad I went.

September

The month I moved. Moving was hectic, but I’m glad it went well. Getting used to life in Fukuoka little by little. I cook a lot more, but haven’t explored many restaurants yet.

October

The month when the washing machine and internet arrived and my remote work setup at home was finally complete. (Until then I was moving between coworking spaces and various places.)

Went to see Demon Slayer, drove a car for the first time in a while.

November

Went to Okinawa with GoTo, and senior colleagues from work came to visit Fukuoka. In Okinawa, I became friends with the owner of an izakaya near the hotel and ate and drank there.

Also, sea urchin was too delicious.

December

A month where I went to Huis Ten Bosch to see fireworks and released a personal app. Also I didn’t write about it, but I recently started playing Ring Fit Adventure mini-games and rhythm games. It’s fun and you break a good sweat so I recommend it. Health first.

Next year I want to establish more habits for working from home to increase efficiency, and I want to go abroad too, but who knows what will happen.

Also, wedding-related things are still postponed, so I don’t know what will happen, but I’m thinking “next year for sure.”

That’s all. Thank you for your hard work in 2020! Looking forward to 2021!
