Normal life? (J)

Sorry...didn't blog for a day of two.
There didn't seem to be anything to blog about!

Now THAT is actually amazing. It shows that I feel life is just settling down into a nice routine and I can't think anyone else would like to read about it.

So. Here are the boring, but nice highlights.


Friday and Saturday I worked at my classroom near bye. Yujiro took me into work by car. The knee is actually beginning to feel stronger. I haven't hiked mountains yet, or even made it to the post office, but it feels almost normal around the house.

Friday night he cooked curry. Okaasan wasn't home by 7 pm. So we started without her. Is it my imagination, or do we both RUSH to get dinner on the table and eaten - before she appears?!!
She rolled in about 7.30 pm: "Oh? I thought tonight you were going to a Korean restaurant?" (err...THAT was a conversation and plan a week ago...). We served her plate of curry. Washed up our own plates and left her to eat alone in the kitchen.

Saturday night he had his favorite sashimi. We gave Okaasan the 5 minute warning that dinner was almost ready, so that she can do toilet visits and hand washing while we are serving rice and soup and lining up all the plates. This time she didn't come back from the toilet for ages...I went to look...and found her standing outside the front door (in her pyjamas) looking at the night sky...taking in the evening air!
I guess she'd forgotten that we'd announced dinner in the minute or two she was in the toilet. Sweet!


Anyway. It's been a nice, gentle Sunday. I did a little gardening. We ate lunch outside. He watched TV. I read a book in the sunshine. The cat dozed. Okaasan went out shopping.
The garden is getting all green and interesting...and the grass is poking up through the soil!

So there. Nice boring life. After the past year's events I am so happy to have a non-eventful 3 days.

通常の生活？ 

ごめんなさいね・・・二日間ブログを休んじゃったわ。

ブログにするようなことが何もないように思ったの！ 

それって実に驚くべきことだわ。今や生活がよい日課に落ち着いていると感じ、誰かがそれを読みたいとは考えられないということだわ。 

それで、つまらないけど素敵な場面をどうぞ。 

金曜日と土曜日は近くのワタシの教室で仕事をしたの。ユウはワタシを車で仕事に連れて行ってくれたわ。膝は前よりしっかりしてきた気がするのよ。ワタシはまだ山歩きをしていないし、それどころか郵便局にも歩いて行っていないわ。でも、家の回りではほとんど普通に感じるわ。 

金曜の夜彼はカレーを作ったの。お義母さんは午後７時まで帰らなかったわ。それでワタシたちはお義母さん抜きで始めたの。お義母さんが現れる前に、ワタシたち二人ともが、なんとか夕食を作り終えてテーブルに並べ、食べるのを急ぐのは、思い過ごし？それとも実際かな？

７時３０分ごろお義母さんが転がり込んできたわ：“あら？あなた方、今晩は韓国料理のレストランに行くんじゃなかった？”（ああ・・・それは一週間前の会話と計画・・・）ワタシたちはお義母さんにカレーをよそったの。自分たちのお皿を片付け、食べるお義母さんを台所に一人残したのよ。 

土曜の夜は彼の好物のサシミだったの。ワタシたちはお義母さんにもうすぐ夕食ができあがるという５分前の警告をしたの。ワタシたちがご飯とスープをよそい、お皿を全部並べる間お義母さんがトイレに行って手を洗えるようにね。今回お義母さんはトイレから長いこと戻ってこなかったの・・・ワタシが見に行って・・・お義母さんが玄関ドアの外に立ち（パジャマ姿で）、夜空を見て・・・夜の空気を取り込んでいるのを見つけたの！

お義母さんはワタシたちが夕食を告げたことをトイレにいた１・２分のうちに忘れてしまったんだと思うわ。かわいい人！ 

ともかく、すてきな穏やかな日曜日だったわ。ワタシは少しガーデニングをしたの。ワタシたちは外でお昼を食べ、彼はテレビを見たわ。日なたでワタシは本を読み、ネコはうとうとして、お義母さんは買い物に行ったの。庭は一面に緑になり面白くなってきたわ・・・そして、芝が地面をついてでてきているわ！ 

こんなところよ。素晴らしき退屈な生活。過ぎし年の出来事のあとに、ワタシは事なき３日間を過ごせたのがとてもうれしいわ。
