Today thunder showers came down as predicted. Such weather will continue tomorrow. This morning I cycled to school for it was my turn to be on duty. On my way there it didn't rain. But two hours later on my return it began to drizzle. In spite of the protection of my raincoat, my trousers got wet with raindrops which fell slantingly in the wind. Last time, i.e. two months ago when I was on leave for the injury on my foot, I failed to turn up fulfilling my duty for which I paid ￥30. After two hours' standing guard over the schoolhouse, I saw the two watchmen of our school, Lao Liu and Lao Li, come back. They showed their willingness to take over my duty and urged me to go home.
