The kids challenged me to a balance game in the kitchen, one foot down and apparently NO WAVING YOUR ARMS MOM, which was not in the initial briefing. I can carry equipment up stairs all shift but standing still while a ten-year-old makes faces at me is beyond my qualifications. My calf started shaking and I was laughing too hard to hold anything steady. The Quiet One lasted longest and looked unbearably pleased about it. Sat down afterwards and could feel the bottom of my foot working even with both feet flat. Different sort of tired from a run. Lost the contest, requested a review, request denied by both children!!!

有个读者来找一本书，名字作者都不知道，只记得封面是蓝的，好像写一个男人出门。我本来想说这个范围比东湖还大，但他讲到一个情节，我倒想起以前上架时翻过的那本了。找到之后他不肯定，说印象里薄一些。我现在也被他说得不肯定了，连自己当时翻过哪几页都在想。书放回去前又看了一会儿，确实有那个情节。一个人记得蓝封面，一个人记得架子位置，凑一起还是没办法证明。这事比今天催还的电话有意思，明天看他借不借走吧。

My son cooked for us and told me to stay out of the kitchen. Imagine, in my own house. I stood near the door anyway until my wife took me away. Food was good, different seasoning from mine but good. I almost said that first, the difference, then saw him waiting with the spoon in hand and said I liked it. He looked relieved. Felt proud and a little unnecessary, both things. When he asked me afterwards about the pan getting too hot I was very happy to explain, perhaps too much. He had made one meal and I started giving seventeen years of Sharjah. My wife cleared her throat. Sheri, I stopped before the second restaurant.

my stepdad sent a picture of the crane from the road and asked if that was mine. wrong job completely but i was weirdly fired up that he was looking. called him to explain which building and he said he knew i would give him the whole tour, shouldve packed lunch. i told him he wouldnt survive the climb anyway. easy conversation, football after that, nothing big. then he said be careful up there and i didnt have a joke ready for half a second. told him im always careful. kept the picture even though its the wrong damn crane

I tried to copy a bird call with the synth and got something closer to a squeaky shopping cart, which raises the important question of whether the shopping cart is also doing its best. I can hear the pitch moving in the recording, but when I copy just that movement it doesn't sound alive at all. there's a rough little beginning to each note that I keep missing. maybe I'm paying too much attention to the obvious part. my sister listened and said the second version sounded angrier, which was not an available setting but is somehow correct. now I want to know what changed between those two versions and I didn't write down the patch.

Norma puso cuarteto mientras ordenábamos después del almuerzo y terminé haciendo dos pasos en la cocina, con el repasador todavía en la mano. Dos pasos digo yo, ella dice que quise hacer más y me acordé tarde de las rodillas. La cintura sigue bastante obediente, lo que cuesta es cambiar de dirección sin pensar dónde va el pie. Me dio calor enseguida, ese calor lindo que no viene de estar parado frente al fuego. Después me senté con la respiración un poco agitada y las piernas despiertas. No bailé ni una canción entera, pero el cuerpo se acordaba de algo que yo tenía archivado desde hacía bastante. Norma se reía de mi cara de concentración.

Practising Sunday's reading at the kitchen table, I kept arriving at the same long sentence and putting the pause in the wrong place. On paper I know what it means, out loud I make it sound like the next bit belongs to the wrong person. Drew a little line in pencil, tried again, then one of the kids asked who I was talking to. Lost my place completely. I can read a freight reference down the phone with someone shouting beside me, but give me one quiet sentence for church and I start thinking about where my tongue is. I'll try it once more when the dishwasher's finished its performance.

En la parroquia nos quedamos después de preparar las canastas porque alguien había llevado bizcochos. Yo ya tenía las llaves en la mano para irme, pero me hicieron lugar y terminé sentado un buen rato. No hablamos de nada importante, uno contó un viaje en ómnibus que le salió desastroso y nos reímos bastante. Volví contento, de esa manera tranquila que no se nota mucho desde afuera. Lucía me preguntó si habíamos terminado tarde y le dije que no, que me había quedado conversando. Le sorprendió un poco. A mí también. No siempre tengo ganas de estar con gente después de trabajar, pero hoy me habría dado pena llegar cuando ya estuvieran juntando las tazas.

Dry enough for a walk after tea so took Bramble round the orchard with the lad. He wanted to go the long way and I wasn't keen at first. Been on and off the tractor all day and my knees felt stiff, but they settled once we got going proper. The dog kept bringing sticks nobody had asked for. I liked being out with empty hands and no need to get something finished before dark. We stopped at the gate and the lad leaned on me while he watched the dog. Quite a weight now. Came back warm and hungry again despite having eaten. Wife said there was bread if it were a genuine emergency. Had two slices. Walking must count for something.

grandson saw the fishing gear in the shed and said it was ours. not mine. ours. daughter says he calls everything his at the minute but i liked that. showed him the little rod i got him and he wanted to go immediately although it was nearly tea time. said another day when his mum can come as well. he sat on the shed step holding it a while. had to remind him it wasnt for poking the fence. after they left i put it beside mine where he could see it next time. wife asked if i was pleased with my visitor. all right i said. had quite a bit to tell her about it as it turned out.
