خرجت مع ابني لشراء كرة، ثم أصرّ على أن نجربها قبل الرجوع. كنت أنوي الوقوف حارسًا، وهي الخطة الرياضية المناسبة لرجل يحمل كيس الخبز، لكنه جعلني أركض خلف تمريراته حتى التصق القميص بظهري. اكتشفت أن ساقيّ تستطيعان المشي طويلًا ولا تحبان التوقف المفاجئ ثم الانطلاق من جديد. جلست على حافة الرصيف وأنا أتنفس بصوت مسموع، فقال لي: بابا عييتي؟ قلت قليلًا، وهذه أول جملة دقيقة قلتها في المباراة. في البيت ظلّت قدماي ساخنتين بعد نزع الحذاء، وكنت جائعًا فعلًا، لا أرغب في كرواسان آخر لأن صورته أمامي على الشاشة. ابني يحسب أن المباراة توقفت مؤقتًا فقط.

Swept the veranda before breakfast and continued into the yard because the leaves would otherwise return with the first breeze. I noticed halfway through that I was gripping the broom far too tightly, thumb pressed hard against the handle as if the leaves might argue. Changed hands for a while, then straightened up and felt the pull across my back. Nothing dramatic, but enough to remind me that the yard had grown larger since I started. By the time my niece appeared I was warm and hungry, sitting with both feet out of my slippers. She offered to finish. There was very little left, which I made sure to mention.

اتصل ابني من جدة ليسأل عن طبخة أمه، وأعطيت الهاتف لزوجتي وأنا أظن أنه سيطلبني بعدها لأمر آخر. طال حديثهما عن المقادير ثم انتهت المكالمة، فوجدتني متضايقاً قليلاً، مع أنني سعيد بأنه يطبخ لنفسه ويتصل من أجل شيء عادي. سألتها هل أموره طيبة، قالت نعم، ولو أردت الكلام معه فاتصل. جواب بسيط ضايقني أكثر لأنه صحيح. اتصلت لاحقاً وسألته ماذا وضع بدل المكون الناقص، فضحك وقال إن التحقيق انتقل إليّ. ضحكت معه، لكنني كنت أريد في الحقيقة أن أسمع بقية يومه، ولم أعرف من أين أبدأ السؤال.
问题不大-Emotion
奶奶视频里没认出我，妈把手机拿近，说这个是你大孙子，她又问是不是在学校。我说没上学了，在做鞋，她哦了一声，让我不要饿肚子。挂了以后有点烦，不是烦她，就是想再给她看清楚一点，我连头发都往上扒了，跟小时候差别还大吗。后来妈发了她吃饭的照片，碗还是那个碗，我小时候也用过。我放大看她夹的菜，给妈回了个多弄软点，她牙口不好。晚上本来说去打球，坐了一阵才下楼，问题也不知道该怎么算。

Je cherche une idée de sortie avec la femme que je vois, quelque chose qui ne soit pas juste manger entre deux horaires de boulot. À force de comparer nos disponibilités, j'ai presque envie de proposer un café sans rien autour, et en même temps je voudrais lui montrer que j'y ai pensé. Elle m'a dit qu'une balade lui allait très bien. J'ai commencé à calculer le trajet et le retour avant de lui demander où elle aimerait marcher. C'est pénible, ce réflexe de préparer une tournée même quand personne n'attend de transmission. Je vais lui envoyer deux endroits. Après, il faudra aussi laisser de la place à ce qu'elle propose.

We lost a point at the pub quiz over a question so badly worded that I could have built a respectable lesson around its failings. Apparently this was not what the rest of the table wanted to hear. I've been replaying the wording on the walk home, partly because I still think we were right and partly because I know I'd tell a pupil not to spend the evening arguing over one mark. Context matters, I'd say. So does accepting that the quizmaster wants to get to the music round before closing. Unfortunately, being aware that I'm being tiresome hasn't made the answer less wrong. I may have to carry this minor injustice until next Thursday.

Played football after a shelf shift and the first ten minutes were mostly finding out which bit of my right ankle hadn't joined in yet. It loosened up once I'd warmed up properly. Could run without thinking about it after that, though my calves were heavy on the stairs home. Sat on the bed to remove a sock and somehow stayed there for twenty minutes looking at my phone, one sock off, one on. Didn't feel particularly tired until I stopped. Housemate knocked to ask about dinner and I realised I was properly hungry. Had enough chilli for two portions. Both portions turned out to be for me.

长沙那个女生给我发了张学校运动场的照片，说跑道没我们以前学校好。我第一下还蛮高兴，她居然记得发我，又不知道回么斯，写了你们学校好大，删掉，像在网上随便评论一样。后来问她还练不练跳高，她回现在课多，有时候去。我盯着那张图看了好久，想知道她平时从哪个门进去，旁边坐的都是谁，又觉得这样问有点烦。最后只发了我们教练最近晒黑的事，她回哈哈哈，我也哈哈哈，聊天就完了。手机收起来过一会又拿出来，其实根本没有新消息。

A woman at church returned the dish I had sent over when her husband was ill. She had put three lemons in it, and a note saying she knew I would not accept anything else. That tickled me. I had not been keeping track of the dish, though my daughter says I keep track of every dish and only pretend otherwise. It was nice to be thought of in such a particular way. I put the lemons where I could see them on the kitchen table, and my husband immediately asked whether there would be bars for dessert. I said there might, if someone else volunteered to wash the pan.

The younger one sent a picture of a meal he had cooked. No question attached. I enlarged it and began composing a comment about the pan handle projecting over the edge of the stove. Did not send that. Asked whether it tasted good. He replied immediately with another picture, this one of the empty plate. I was pleased. More pleased than two photographs reasonably account for. Left the conversation open while I ate my own supper. Nothing further arrived. It was not an appointment and he had not undertaken to continue it. Nevertheless, I checked the phone twice before washing up. The kitchen was very quiet tonight.
