王家の人々

ほとほと根も尽き果て、五月のはじめ、あり金さらって、旅に出た。この脱走が、間違っていたら、殺してくれ。殺されても、私は、微笑ほほえんでいるだろう。

太宰の短編『八十八夜』には宿の女中頭が茶を差し出すくだりがあるが、特段意味は無い。

 京都府南部の日本茶の歴史・文化や景観は4月に、文化庁の日本遺産に選ばれた。イベント関係者らは「次は世界文化遺産への登録を」とアピールしていた。

It’s A Girl! Duchess of Cambridge Gives Birth to Princess
2015/05/02 に公開

 英王室のウィリアム王子(32)とキャサリン妃(33)夫妻に2日午前、第2子となる王女が誕生し、英国は祝福ムードにわいた。
 キャサリン妃が入院したロンドン中心部のセント・メアリー病院前や誕生を知らせる告知書が掲示されたバッキンガム宮殿前には各国からの大勢の報道陣や市民が詰めかけた。英王室によると、母子ともに元気といい、入院から約2時間半での「安産」の知らせに、キャメロン首相もツイッターで「大変喜ばしい」と祝福した。
 「プリンセス・オブ・ケンブリッジ」の称号が与えられる王女の名前はまだ発表されていないが、賭けごとが盛んな英国の大手ブックメーカーによると、命名予想の一番人気は「アリス」。エリザベス女王の夫フィリップ殿下の母親と同じだ。これに祖父チャールズ皇太子の名前の女性版「シャーロット」、「ビクトリア」「エリザベス」などが続く。

This congenial collaboration of two iconic performers was the first single to be released from a new Michael Jackson album….something called “Thriller.”
Per Michael: “One of my favorite songs to record, of all my recordings as a solo artist, is probably “The Girl Is Mine”, because working with Paul McCartney was pretty exciting and we just literally had fun. It was like lots of kibitzing and playing, and throwing stuff at each other, and making jokes.”
