After shoveling hard this morning, the road to the backyard was finally opened on the third day!

 

I went to「渡海家」for lunch, a ramen restaurant recommended by mayumiさん. I went there right after the door opened at 12:00, but there was already a long line, so I waited for 40 minutes and was finally seated. The Misuzu BBQ pork ramen was very good! The BBQ pork was grilled and oiled, and it was crispy and delicious, and the soup was also very rich. If you are coming here, I recommend you to order Miso Ramen with BBQ pork.

 

I spent too much money on ramen for lunch, so I made my own sandwich for dinner. There was bacon, tomato, lettuce and egg, and the special thing was that there was a leftover pork cake in it.

 

In the evening, I decided to watch "Summer War". Although I've seen it before, I was still fascinated by Mamoru Hosoda's portrayal of the characters and the interactions and relationships between the members of the extended family. Great movie!

6:00 ピンクの朝

少しづつ

ゆっくりと活動開始

 

久々に買い物にでかけると

行きなれた近くのスーパーが遠く感じました。

 

急がず

おだやかに

冷やさぬように

目には見えない体の内側チームを大切にしたいと思います。

どうしても食べたくなり

週末のためにパンを焼き、ハンバーグを準備して

ご機嫌で出勤した土曜日

なんと突如体調不良

 

楽しみにしていた日曜日の

手作りバーガーは延期となりました。

 

やっぱり

心と体がかみ合っていません。

 

チーム自分

バラバラだったようです。

 

ストップがかかりました。

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the morning, I continued to clear the snow for the road, and the snow got higher and higher, and it felt like it was already over a meter high.

I used the last ingredients in the refrigerator to make today's lunch, including stir-fried pork with  vegetables and Japanese fried noodles.

In the evening, I decided to challenge the half price lunch for the second time, but I only saw a 20% off sticker. I thought if I waited a little bit longer, maybe the shopkeeper would put up the half price sticker. I waited for 20 minutes and no one came to put a sticker on it, and then all the tempura lunchboxes I wanted to buy were gone. I had no choice but to go to Burger King in Otaru station for a spicy chicken burger (yummy).

春の成分を感じる金曜日

I felt the spring ingredients in the sunlight.

太陽のいつもの角度が変わったのか

北海道と太陽が近づいてきたからなのか

 

小さい変化を感じた朝

To the usual sight

I felt a slight change

 

通勤の道も

木の影がいっそう強くなりました。

I felt like the shadows were getting darker.

徘徊欲求にかられますが

先を急ぎます。

 

I want to wander around.

 

Feel free.


But,

I have to hurry this day.

 

 

 

 

In this morning, I make the beds and remove the snow. Masaさん said that the courtyard will be open again, so we have to make a way around to the courtyard. To remove snow, I used a shovel to divide the snow into squares and then shoveled the squares to the side, being careful that if you didn't throw them away properly, the snow would roll back down to where it was.

 

Lunch was Genghis Khan BBQ!

 

In the afternoon, I went to Nitori Art Museum. The five floors of exhibition space have rich collection of works ranging from stained glass, oil paintings, Japanese paintings and wood carvings, and even works by Ukiyo-e master Katsushika Hokusai and famous Czech painter Alphonse Mucha. By scanning the QR code on my cell phone, I was able to listen to audio tours in five languages, and I was able to listen to all of the artworks.

 

To reward myself for my passion for art, I went to a cafe in the shopping street and ordered a delicious sundae. On the way back, it was snowing heavily, so I ran back to the hostel as fast as I could.

 

For dinner, I wanted to challenge myself to go to the supermarket to buy half-price bento, but I went there too late and the bento was gone, so I only bought a tempura rice ball for the next day's breakfast. Since I didn't have any dinner, I took out the stinky tofu noodle soup that Natsumiさん gave me this morning (a gift from a Taiwanese customer, they were happy to receive it, but after eating it once, they realized that the smell was really too strong). It wasn't as stinky as the ones at the Taiwan night market, but it was still very tasty!

夕方過ぎて何だか体調がいまいちな火曜日

こんな時は早く寝てしまいます。

 

3月6日

復活の水曜日

 

規則正しく

毎日早寝早起き

お酒の量もすごく減りました

美味しいものを頂き、

歩いたりゆっくりジョギングしたり

すごく健康自慢な気持ちだったのにもかかわらず

 

小さな体調不良の多い

春の手前

 

何故なのだ

何がいけなかったのか

 

改善点

見直し中です。

 

できることから

コツコツと。

 

まずは

体を冷やさない事を心がけたいと思います。

 

今日の脳内は

「A列車で行こう」 (Take the 'A' Train)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Today's job was to wash the two bathrooms and make the beds. I felt a sense of accomplishment after I made the beds, and I felt good after I cleaned up the space.

 

After work, I went to another supermarket, this one (Coop) is even better than the one yesterday (Nagasakiya)! I was supposed to buy rice, but I ended up buying kimchi and dumplings by accident. When Masaさん saw me coming back from buying rice, she told me that there was rice in the freezer for only 50 yen, which was great!

 

In the afternoon, I took a nap with Hug at the heated table and had a great day.

ヘルパーメイトのルイ君とご飯中の会話

虫や動物の鳴き声の表現を

ドイツ語ではどう表すのか

という話題がとても楽しかった月曜日

日本語との違い

英語とも違うドイツっぽい音に興味深々となりました。

 

 

そんな中 、この日は

ノルウェーからの旅人さんがチェックイン

 

またまた未知の言語の音

憧れの北欧の国

ノルウェー語をいくつか教えてもらいました。

 

「おやすみなさい」→【ゴーなつ】

「おはよう」→【グゥ オォーエン】

特におはようが難しくて

音をよく聞いて、口元を観察しても

表情を真似してみても

音程を真似してみても

全くOKがもらえません

 

何度も言い方を変えながら繰り返していると

突然

「そー ソレ!」って言ってもらえるのに

何がどう変わったのか自分でも分からないので

同じように繰り返してみると

またなんか違う。

そんな繰り返し

 

何だか楽器のレッスンを受けてるみたいで

面白かったです。

 

そんな初めて出会うノルウェー語の音

 

コレだ!となっても文字ではメモに残すことができません。

 

中国語も韓国語も

同じように

また違うタイプの知らない音がたくさんあって

この感覚に触れるのがなぜかとても楽しいです。

 

 

この日もノンアルコールなのに

たくさん笑いながら

発音について不思議を感じながら

蒸しあがった

黒胡麻ソースの

卵プリン

気に入ってもらえてすごく嬉しかったです。

 

本当にありがとうございました。
