Good morning Hayashi san, firstly I want t thank you for all the replies that you sent yesterday, I feel very guilty for asking you to always reply to me after your days work. As I keep saying, unless I ask you a question, there is no need to reply. I know that you don't mind but it worries me. I now know that you and the Super Mechanic are brothers; I thought you were when you told e both of your names. You get so much snow! I have said before that here we get very little - although it is -5° this morning. 🥶 The ground was all white this morning, but it was just frost. It must be so hard managing the cold in Japan? Here all the houses have central heating and carpets, but it's still cold! I think that you enjoyed your time as the Neighbourhood Association President, but I'm happy that you can rest now. I look forward to the Sagicho Festival - what does that celebrate? I'm sure that I will see. Thank you for everything that you do for me.

Mr. Neale, I basically reply to all the comments, so it's okay. The snow in my area is characterized by being wet and heavy. In the UK, it feels colder than snow. In Japan, there is a type of heater called a kotatsu, which is a low table wrapped in a futon. But these days, central heating is common. My son's house has central heating. Sagicho is an event that celebrates the turning point of the year by burning the offerings to the gods that have been displayed for the past year. Offerings to the gods cannot be burned as trash, so they are burnt in sagicho in each town or shrine.

@@HayashisanchiJp23owarai Hayashi san, I thank you. I did know about kotatsu and I know that people actually fall asleep under them! In religions here (mainly Christian) it is also necessary to burn religious item separately to trash.
