Summer Greeting
This is an entry of inquiry after health in the hot season.
fc2_summergreeting2009.jpg
The Japanese word "atsui" bears a double meaning, 1: hot, 2: thick.
When it's written in this kanji
fc2_hotkanji.jpg
it means the weather is "hot",

and in this kanji
fc2_thickkanji.jpg
it means manga magazines are "thick".

Surprise
Well, I never! There was a remarkable incident yesterday.
Unlike this weblog in English, my Blog in Japanese is updated almost everyday and that blog stood first of so-called "blog ranking". I'm often writing reviews on Manga for this Japanese blog.

This image shows the placing of each blog which participates in the category of "review on manga"(1279blogs in this category) and as you can see, my blog has gained 200 IN points/456 OUT points in the past week.
fc2_rankingtop20090506.jpg

This image shows the transition in the past week.
fc2_weeklyranking20090506.jpg
"IN points" of the week decides the ranking. If someone who felt my blog is interesting clicks the banner at the tail of any entries,
fc2_blogranking.jpg
it is reflected in the total weekly IN points. I'm distributing 80% of the total IN points to "review on manga", 10% to "philately" and 10% to "tobacco" as for my Japanese blog.

However, the fine weather won't hold long. My blog which was at the top of the ranking yesterday has already made a close second in the race. I think I need to write a new entry for today. Maybe what's important is "Continuation" .

What is the reason I don't update this English blog more often? -because I'm lazy.

Summer Greetings
I've just had a notion that I should draw a blue(aqua) planet for my summer greeting card.
After all, it became "Not a star but something refreshing".

I used "HKY037.jpg" of Design Exchange Co., Ltd. for the reflected image.

Plan2

Maybe I can usd this planet for the New Year P-stamp for 2009 also.
2009plan3.jpeg

As for the summer greeting cards, I only send approx. 30(less than 50) to my friends so I'm not going to place an order outside but print directly to Camomail postcards with lottery by printer for home.

Briefmarke
For some unknown reason, I found a philatelic catalogue of Austria Briefmarke in my letterbox.
fc2_briefmarke200712_1.jpeg

There was no name of the sender on the envelope.
Well, although I can't read German, the catalogue was full of attractive stamps and philatelic items.
