the barista I've been seeing kept a seat for me at their mate's birthday and introduced me like obviously everyone already knew who i was, which was heaps nice but also made me suddenly not know where to put my face lol. i'd been thinking i'd just drop in and maybe leave early if it was awkward, then someone asked about the dumpling place and i stayed telling them about Auntie for ages. felt properly included, not like somebody had brought an extra person they needed to entertain. was still smiling on the tram home and then mum rang asking what i was happy about and i said oh nothing much, good night

En el último descanso antes de volver a subir la ruta me bajé del bus y estiré las piernas caminando hasta la tienda, sin comprar café esta vez porque ya llevaba bastante. Sentí el aire en la espalda que tenía sudada contra el asiento y fue un alivio, como cuando uno se quita una chaqueta que no sabía que le sobraba. Al principio la rodilla estaba tiesa, después caminó bien. Me quedé conversando de pie aunque había silla, ya había tenido asiento para medio día, pues. Al llegar a la casa Marleny calentó la comida y me la comí despacio, con un hambre buena. Ella dice que yo siempre llego anunciando cansancio y luego hablo hasta que se enfría lo suyo, eso sí puede ser.

حكيت قدام الشباب إني بدي شاحنة إلي وأشتغل على حسابي، وبلشت أعدّد الميزات كأني مشتريها بكرا. بالبيت مرتي سألت عن الصيانة وأيام الوقفة ومين بيدفع لو زبون تأخر. أنا حافظ الديزل والطريق، بس مش حافظ هالجزء من الحساب. أولها قلت الله بيدبّرها، وهي قالت أكيد، بس احسب كمان. ضحكت، وبعدين جبت ورقة. طلع الرقم اللي بحكيه بالقهوة ناقصه كثير، ولا عمره كان فيه احتياط لشي يتعطل. لسه الفكرة براسي، مش معناته بطلت بدي إياها، بس المرة الجاي لما حدا يسألني ليش ما بتشتغل لحالك ما رح أحكي كأنه القرار بس مفتاح وبنزين. في أربع ولاد بالبيت مش داخلين بالحسبة على الهامش.

Tried on my good trousers for an anniversary dinner at the lodge and holy buckets, apparently retirement has not been hard on my appetite. I could button them standing up, but sitting on the bed was another proposition, with that tight band pressing across my middle and my knees making their own objections when I stood again. My wife said breathing was generally expected at dinner and handed me the roomier pair. Those felt fine, and I stayed in them while we listened to the radio, her cold feet against my leg. I like a house where we can be dressed for an occasion and still have half an hour with our shoes off.

带的年轻防疫员今天自己把一户的登记问清楚了，还提醒我那家入口换了，原来的路让石头堵住了。我嘴上说记住就行，心里是高兴的，不用每一回都从头讲。下午他跟县站打电话，几个问题说得明白，我在旁边没插上话，又有一点不得劲。不是嫌他能干，早些学会本来就是我盼的。回家妻子问今天累不累，我说还行，年轻人能顶些事了。她说那你好好吃饭，别端着碗还看电话。我把电话扣下，隔一会儿又翻过来瞅一眼。没人找，也没什么急事，可这一下子清闲下来，我还没习惯。

Une collègue a échangé une pause pour que je puisse être à l'école de ma fille, sans me demander trois compensations et un rein. Elle a juste dit que cela lui convenait. J'étais content, et un peu embarrassé d'avoir préparé tout un discours pour la convaincre. À l'école, ma fille m'a vu au fond de la salle et a fait un signe minuscule avant de reprendre son rôle très sérieusement. Je n'ai presque rien entendu de ce qu'elle disait, les parents devant parlaient plus fort que les enfants. Cela ne m'a même pas énervé longtemps. Je pouvais être là. J'ai remercié ma collègue après, sans plaisanterie cette fois.

Bin nach dem Dienst nicht gleich in die Wohnung gegangen, sondern noch eine Runde gelaufen, ohne Podcast und ohne dabei eine Blitzpartie am Handy anzufangen. Erst da habe ich gemerkt, wie fest ich den Kiefer zusammenhielt. Beim Gehen ließ das langsam nach, bis ich an einer Ampel wieder die Zähne aufeinanderpresste, weil jemand dauernd hupte. Offenbar brauche ich dafür nicht einmal ein Bürgeramt. Zu Hause habe ich die Tomaten gegossen und mich auf den Balkon gesetzt. Die Schultern waren immer noch müde vom Schreibtisch, aber ich hatte nicht mehr dieses Gefühl, im ganzen Oberkörper auf eine schwierige Frage zu warten. Das Buch blieb trotzdem nach drei Seiten zu.

A former student came back with her younger brother and introduced me as the teacher who knew where everything was. I would have preferred a reference to reading, but she was smiling, and then she remembered the small blue chair she used when the room felt too loud. That pleased me more than I could explain in the hallway. I had forgotten that particular chair mattered to her. She is so tall now that I had to look up while she spoke. After they left, the room seemed briefly full of children who are no longer five. I was happy to see her, and a little sorry the visit was already over.

犬の散歩でいつもより遠くまで行った。工場の中では腕ばかり使うけど、田んぼの道を歩いとると足の裏がだんだん温かくなる。犬は同じ草の所で何度も止まるので、こっちも立って待つ。リードを持つ手を替えたら右の指が固まっとったのが分かった。痛いほどではない。開いたり閉じたりした。帰って足を拭いてやる時はおとなしくしとるのに、こっちが靴を脱ぐ間は待てんらしい。風呂に入ったら首の後ろまで温まって眠くなった。今日は研ぎの続きを頭でやらずに寝られそう。犬は先に寝た。

Spent longer than intended at the specimen bed, crouched over a label which the watering had made illegible. Getting down was straightforward; returning to an upright position required the wall and a brief pause that I had not scheduled. Once standing, the hip settled well enough for a walk along the avenue, though I started more slowly than usual. Back indoors I discovered soil beneath my nails and a quite disproportionate thirst. A glass of water and a chair were entirely satisfactory. The label can wait until tomorrow. I have brought it inside, since repeating the descent merely to retrieve it would be an unnecessarily elaborate experiment.
