  • Hi! I’m tomomo.
    Thank you for visiting my weekday video.
    I live in a small town 2 hours drive from Tokyo.
    I’m a happy mom of two (👦🏻15+👧🏻10) and two cats (😺😇Picku 18.5 + 🐈 Momiji 16).
    ------------------------
    In this video…
    The mornings and evenings are still cold, but the days are becoming warmer. Spring is coming to Japan soon.
    I wanted to feel spring in my small tatami room too, so I changed my bed sheets to pink.
    I had sunratan ramen and cabbage salad for lunch . And I cooked soup pasta for my kids’ dinner .
    At night, I had warm shochu sake and Kitsune-udon🍲.
    I hope you’ll enjoy my life in rural 🇯🇵 Japan!

    ¡Hola querida Tomomo!
    Thank you very much for the video, we always learn things.
    We are happy to know that your mother is doing well during her illness and I find it endearing that she likes to have a clean house and that she has an appetite. Treasure those moments, dear Tomomo.🤗
    We also send you a lot of encouragement to face the bad health moments of your family members, I hope they are restored as soon as possible.
    about thirteen years old...🤭 it's a complicated age, but I think it's worse now because of social networks, in my time we didn't have a mobile phone (I was a teenager in the nineties) and at thirteen years old I still played, especially with playmobil toys and kept the dolls in order (always well haired and with perfect clothes)😂 Later I would meet up with my friends in the park for a little while and eat sunflower seeds and talk, we talked a lot, yes, face to face.
    These times has good things, but I think children need to be children for longer, I think everything is faster now...
    How nice your mother-in-law always gives you things, how lucky you are.😍
    It caught my attention that you iron on your knees...don't your knees hurt after a short time?...here we iron standing up, I like to iron, but after a while I also get tired of standing.
    Regarding the almond trees in the other comment, I would like to tell you that they look very similar to the cherry tree when they are in bloom. In Spain there are many almond trees because almonds have been used in many desserts for many years. The most typical ones, in case you want to search for them on Google Images, are: polvorones, mantecados, tarta de santiago, mazapan de Toledo... many more, I don't want to bore you.😋
    And about surnames, indeed, when we get married in Spain, we do not lose the two ones, it is something beautiful that unites us with our family despite the marriage.
    About the past weekends...it snowed a little and it was very cold and windy..., this week I have had a cold and a throat pain 😓 now I am better.I hope to be able to go out on the weekend and enjoy the sun after so much cold, but Juan Carlos is starting to feel bad, no please!! 😱
    here in Spain we are saddened by the death of Akira Toriyama, Dragon ball creator, many Spanish children and adolescents watched that series and it really left its mark...I didn't watch it, but I was faithful to the song in the final credit title, I turned on the television to be able to sing it, these days I have sung it again (I don't forget the lyrics despite the passage of time)...that such precious memories...Juan Carlos saw the series and he also liked it, he watched it during his study break and has fond memories.
    As always we send a big hug to you, your husband and children and to Momiji, as adorable as always.😺💓
    Until next time dear friend...take good care of yourself,
    With love from Spain, Juan Carlos and Silvia 😘😘😘

      Hola! Juan Carlos and Silvia♡
      Thank you for writing me again, I always thrilled to read your message.
      Yes, thirteen years old nowadays seem more difficult age than when we were teenager.
      My friend's daughter told me that she had nothing to talk about with her friends because they shared their lives on SNS all the time.
      I felt WOW!
      I laughed about ironing on my knees!
      As you've already know, we sit on the floor in the family room.
      And this way is more comfortable than sitting on the chair for us you know?
      We call it "seiza" = sit in a kneeling position, and this is formal way to sit when we do Japanese tea ceremony, in the temples, calligraphy classes...so on.
      Yes, it will hurt my legs if I sit for a long time.
      So, I don't usually sit that way. But when ironing, I do it because it's easier.
      And I didn't realize I was sitting that way until you pointed out😂. That was so funny.
      I googled that sweets you told me! They look so yummy.
      We don't focus on the desserts much in Japan when we eat dinner, but in Spain , maybe it's big thing for you ?
      You always eat these kinds of sweets after dinner?
      We are shocked that Mr. Toriyama's sudden death.
      I've heard that the working environment for Manga artists in Japan is quite harsh.
      I'm sure he smoked a lot, and he often stayed up all night drawing Manga.
      That may cause his life shorter...
      JC, I loved Dragon ball so much. I have an older brother, so we watched it every week on TV.
      I also loved Arare-chan which is his famous piece.
      I'm so so sorry that I gave you and JC my cold😆.
      I didn't know you can get it through UA-cam!
      I hope both of you are better. And I hope you enjoyed your weekend!
      Thank you for your big love❤️
      Talk to you soon!
      Love♡tomomo

    I never heard foxes like fried tofu. That makes me smile. I am imagining them with little stoves. I'm sorry for your sadness and hoping your son is well soon. Here, it is cold and rainy but the daffodils and crocus are out Maybe, Spring will slowly creep out and fill our days with flowers and sunshine. Wishing you all the best.

      Hi, Leah! We even have the shrines for foxes😂. One of them is on the side of the supermarket parking lot in my town. And there is always fried tofu as an offering🦊. I hope your town will be full of flowers soon🌸.

      A fox shrine! I love the things I learn from you. I think if we had one here, people would put Kentucky Fried Chicken as an offering. We think of foxes as wanting to eat chicken.
