なにわ淀川花火大会
８月８日（土）なにわ淀川花火大会。
知人より「なにわ淀川花火大会」のお誘いを受けた。マンションが「打ち上げ場」のすぐ前で、ベランダは特等席との事。当日ゴルフの予定でハードスケジュールとなるが、折角のお誘いゆえ、「喜んで」とお受けした。３時にゴルフを終え、マンション着１７時５０分。結構広いマンションであるが、既に１０数名のお客が来ていた。「マッチャンいらっしゃい・・・」、顔ぶれを見ると半数近くは顔なじみの連中。遠慮会釈なく、お言葉に甘え、先ずはビールから・・・。ほろ酔い機嫌でビール片手にベランダへ、１０・９・８・７カウントダウンが始まり、８時ジャスト。ドーンの大音響と共に花火の共演。私の為にとしか思えない位の超特等席にて花火観戦。感動ものとはこのこと。ドーン、ドーン、ドドドーン、ドドドーン、たまやー！！、延々１時間、花火は上がりっぱなし・・・。
August 8th (Sat) Naniwa Yodogawa Fireworks Festival.
I was invited to “Naniwa Yodogawa Fireworks Festival” by an acquaintance. The apartment is right in front of the launch site, and the balcony has a special seat. We finished the golf at 3:00 p.m. and arrived at the apartment at 5:50 p.m. We had a hard schedule for the day’s golf, but since we were invited, we gladly accepted. It was a rather large apartment, but more than a dozen customers had already come. Almost half of the faces are familiar to me. Without hesitation, I’ll take your word for it and start with a beer… I went to the balcony with a beer in my hand, and the countdown to 10, 9, 8, 7 started, just after 8:00. Fireworks are played together with Dawn’s loud sound. I was able to watch the fireworks from a very special seat that I could only think of for me. This is what makes it so moving. Dawn, dawn, dawn, dawn, dawn, tamaya! The fireworks never stop going up for an hour….
