芦屋のサービスアパートメント”ミミロッコ”徒然帳

先日、入居者様用　ガーデン　ティーパーティを中庭で開催致しました！
今回はミミロッコ初のデザートビュッフエ風で、女子には嬉しいメニューでした。
アルコールが無かったので、残念がっていた人も中にはいますが、、（私！？）
でも！いろんな種類の美味しそうなスイーツが沢山あって見ているだけでも楽しかったですよ～。もちろんいっぱい食べましたぁ～♪
お天気にも恵まれて、沢山の入居者や、関係者もご参加頂き、賑やかで楽しい１日となりました。
さて、次はどんなパーティか、楽しみになさってくださいね♪

Garden Tea party
　A garden tea party had been held in the courtyard of Mimilocco on a sunny day in May.
The party was a buffet style only of sweets which were decorated deliciously and looked so good and most of women love them!!
We hadn’t prepared alcohol this time so it was a little pity for some people who love drinking (Is that me?)
However, it was a lovely and happy day with a lot of people, delicious foods and perfect weather for the party!!
We hope that you are looking forward to joining next Mimilocco party!!

芦屋には谷崎潤一郎記念館があります。
文豪・谷崎潤一郎が「細雪」を執筆した邸宅・倚松庵を模したそうです。
「細雪」はこれまで3回映画化されています。
私が観たことがあるのは、吉永小百合さん他、豪華女優陣が競演した33年前の作品です。
この「細雪」より前の2作品が公開された頃、昭和25〜45年（1950〜1970年）には、芦屋会館（通称・アシカン）という映画館がありました。
芦屋に住んでいたことのある作家・村上春樹さんが、雑誌に「アシカンで007の3本立てを観た」と書いています。
残念ながら、アシカンはじめ芦屋には映画館がなくなってしまいましたので、“趣味は映画鑑賞”という方がミミロッコに入居されましたら、梅田、三宮、あるいは西宮へ出かけなければなりません。


The autumn season for art is coming soon.
In Ashiya, there is the Memorial Museum of Literature of Junichiro Tanizaki, one of the greatest writers of the age, and which was built after Tanizaki’s residence called “Ishoan” where Tanizaki wrote “Sasameyuki,” one of his masterpieces, when he lived in Ashiya. “Sasameyuki” was made into movie three times. I had watched the one which was released thirty-three years ago. In the movie, in addition to Sayuri Yoshinaga, many other top film stars appeared on the screen. When two older ones were released before the one I watched, there was a movie theater called Ashiya Kaikan (“Ashikan”) during1950-1970.
Haruki Murakami, one of the great writers of this age, who had once lived in Ashiya, said that he watched a triple-featured 007 movie at Ashikan. Unfortunately, the traditional “Ashikan” has gone now, and you have to go to Umeda, Sannomiya, or Nishinomiya if you would like to watch a movie as there is no movie theater in Ashiya.

時季外れの桜の話題

今年の桜の時期は過ぎてしまいましたが、ミミロッコご入居の皆様に芦屋川沿いに咲く３本の桜の木についてお知らせします。

阪急電車の芦屋川駅より南側へ５０メートル程進むと「つきわかばし」があります。その橋の東詰より芦屋川の土手に沿って桜並木が続いています。橋の欄干から１本目が八重桜の老木、２本目がソメイヨシノの若木、３本目がソメイヨシノの老木と並んでいます。

それ等３本の桜の開花時期が異なります。先ず、２本目の若木が咲き、散り始めた頃に３本目の老木が開花、それが散り始めると１本目の八重桜が見事な八重の花を開花させます。

毎年、これら３本の桜の開花の移りゆく姿を見るのを楽しみに通勤しています。ミミロッコから徒歩でたったの５分、皆様来年ご覧になっては如何でしょうか？

Topic of cherry trees though their season is over.


I would like to inform you about the three cherry trees
located along Ashiya River,
though Sakura season this year is already over.

About 50 meters southward away
from Ashiyagawa station of Hankyu railway,
there is a bridge named Tsukiwakabashi.
You can see the row of cherry blossom trees
along the river extending from the east end of this bridge.

Next to the parapet of the bridge to the north side
is an aged double flowers cherry tree
so called Yaezakura.
The second one is a young Somei-yoshino cherry tree
while the third one is aged of same kind.

The timings of blossoms of these three trees
differ from one to another.
The young Somei-yoshino tree starts blooming first.
The aged one starts blooming
while the petals of cherry blossoms of young one are almost gone.
Finally, the aged Yaezakura starts blooming
when the flowers of aged Somei-yoshino starts going away.

I enjoyed the scenes of these three cherry trees
ever changing the timings of blooming every year.
It is about 5 minutes walking distance from Mimilocco.
So, why don’t you take a look next year?
