Day XLIII: この音とまれ! pg. 45-51 & 空き寺の大入道
6 pages today!
And read today’s 百物語, about a monk and an Onyudo.
Today is also サツマイモの日 ! Sweet potato day!
I sure hope I have some sweet potatoes in for dinner.
There’s also a story here about sweet potatoes but I don’t have enough reading energy left for today.
