Replacement of the Battery
At first, I tried to ask the manufacturer’s customer service department to replace the battery, but I found out that my TV is too old for official repairs.
So, I searched online for a new battery and ordered one for about ¥3000. Thanks to a DIY website, I was able to replace the battery myself. It was easier than I expected, and the TV is working perfectly again.
Catch-22 !? ― 2026/01/23 15:34
A Catch‑22 Kind of Situation
I joined an English lesson. Although the session was interesting, I was worried about a note on the wall that said, “Speak English in the session.” It made me wonder whether I was allowed to ask questions about my English problems in Japanese.
I face these problems because my English ability is limited, so without Japanese I can’t explain the issues in detail. But if I were able to explain my English problems well enough in English, I probably wouldn’t need to ask the teacher in the first place, because that would mean my English was already good enough.
I was afraid that this “Speak English” rule might put students in a Catch‑22 situation.

Frozen Pond
This morning, I saw Shinobazu-no-ike frozen over.

It was the first time I’d seen ice on the pond this winter.
