DAY191 [渡英169日] 2020年10月8日（木）refreshers lesson，息子のKARATE

　車の運転講習について最初の会社からはなしのつぶてなので，別の会社に問い合わせ。日程的には空いているようだが，最初の２時間は自分の車ではなく，教習車に乗らないといけないらしい。もしかしたら教習所のコースを走る？いずれにしても教官がGoサインを出して路上に出る仕組みは日本と同じ。ただ，夕方になるとダブルブッキングしたということで時間を変更せざるを得ない状況に。午前中なら午前中，午後なら午後に決めてくれると楽なのだがしょうがない。
　夕方から息子の空手レッスンのトライアル。自宅から徒歩圏内に会場があるのでトライアルで行ってみたが，生徒が息子を入れて３名しかおらず，何とも寂しげな状況。妻がついてくれたので後で状況を聞くと，空手というよりもエクササイズであったとのこと。空手らしい空手は最後のパンチくらいだったそうな…。身体を動かすだけでなく，息子のコミュニティの拡大を狙っていたが，この状況では難しそう。続けるか否か…。

　There is no contact from the refreshers driving company, so I emailed another company. It seemed about the schedule that it was OK, but the first two hours needed to driving using a training car, not my car. Maybe I will practise in a driving school. Anyway, when an instructor doesn't admit to driving outside, we cannot go, that is the same system in Japan.
　

　However, in the evening, an email from the school asked me to change the time because of double-booking. It would be useful for me fixing the time every day, but it was a pity that the reservation time zone each day was different.
　

　My son went to a KARATE lesson from the evening because it took a few minutes' walks from my house. However, there were only three kids, including my son; it just a lonely situation. According to my wife, there was not KARATE, but the just exercise. The aim of going to KARATE is not only doing exercise but also making network but, maybe it was difficult to achieve the aim.
