Cherry blossoms at night / 夜桜

Tomorrow is the day my second son has his "farewell picnic" at his daycare and I have to make his lunch.

Since I had not yet bought the ingredients for his lunch, I went out shopping at night. Some of the cherry trees in the park are already in full bloom. I don't think they will last until the entrance ceremony season. I tried to take some pictures of the cherry blossoms illuminated by the street lamps, but I think it is better to see the cherry blossoms in person.

My son had asked me to put Japanese omelet in his lunch box tomorrow, but the first supermarket I went to had no more eggs left. I was aware that they were in short supply due to the bird flu and that prices had gone up, but I did not expect them to be sold out.

I had no choice but to visit another supermarket, but even there, the 10-packs were sold out. The only eggs left on the shelves were very expensive eggs, 158 yen for 4 eggs... Hmmm, expensive...!! But what's a bento without omelette...? So I bought two packs.

Tomorrow, my son's lunch box will contain a high quality egg omelet.

明日は次男の保育園で「お別れ遠足」があり、お弁当です。

お弁当の材料をまだ買っていなかったので、夜、買い物に出掛けました。公園の桜はすでに満開を迎えている木もあります。入学式のシーズンまではとてももちそうにありません。街灯に照らされた桜の花がとても綺麗だったので何枚か写真を撮ってみたものの、やっぱり桜は直接見るのが良い気がします。

次男から明日のお弁当に卵焼きのリクエストを受けていたのに、一軒目に行ったスーパーでは卵がもう残っていませんでした。鳥インフルエンザのため品薄になっていて、値段が上がっていることは把握していましたが、まさか売り切れとは・・・　仕方がないので別のスーパーも回ってみましたが、そちらでも10個入パックは売り切れでした。棚にあるのは4個入り158円の高そうな卵だけ・・・うーん、高い！でも、卵焼きのないお弁当なんて。ということで2パック買いましたよ。

明日のお弁当は高級卵焼き入りです。
