上半期/First half

こんばんは。気が付けば5月も終盤にさしかかり、6月に突入しようとしています。あっという間の上半期でしたが、今年も年始からスタートダッシュで少々燃え尽き感ありますが、下半期もこの調子で駆け抜けたいなと思います。

話は変わりますが、イラン情勢の煽りをうけて現在シンナーや接着剤が品薄になっています。特にシンナーは皆無と言えます。私も以前に接着剤は少し確保していましたので年内はどうにか持つかなぁといったところです。それと材料も高騰していて、石油由来のメラミン化粧板なんかは結構値上がりしますし、接着剤がないお陰でベニヤ関係も順に値上がるみたいです。物価はどんどん上昇するが賃金はほぼ据え置きなのでとても大変ですね。

Good evening. Before you know it, May is at the end of the year, and we are about to enter June. It was the first half of the year in a flash, but this year is a little exhausted from the beginning of the year, but I want to run through the second half of the year like this.

On a different note, thinners and adhesives are currently in short supply due to the Iranian situation. In particular, it can be said that there is no thinner. I also had a little glue before, so I wonder if I can hold it somehow within the year. In addition, the price of materials is also soaring, and the price of melamine decorative panels derived from petroleum will rise considerably, and thanks to the lack of adhesive, it seems that the price of veneer will also rise in order. Prices are rising more and more, but wages are almost the same, so it's very difficult.
