daily joy / 小快樂

週末和溫迪去the Foundling Museum看昆丁伯為幾家醫院做的插畫，其中有一個主題是描繪日常生活的小事如梳頭髮、削蘋果等等，看了之後感受到平凡踏實的幸福。接著有場免費的音樂會，我聽到打瞌睡，代表我很放鬆了。

I went to the Foundling Museum with Wen Dee for Quentin Blake's illustrations for several hospitals. One of the major themes is about depicting daily joy such as combing hair, peeling apples etc. I felt calm happiness upon looking at the images. Then followed a free recital, in which I nodded off. Well, that means I was quite relaxed...

我房間對面的屋子原本一片漆黑，最近好像有新住戶搬進來，每天廚房的燈總是亮到十一點多，還看得到先生太太，讓我很安心。

The house across from my room used to be empty and dark. It seems that there are new people moving in. Every night the light in the kitchen is on until 11 pm. I can even see the couple inside the space, which really soothes me. 

在畫室畫了一整天的圖之後，晚上去吃阿拉伯土耳其菜，這道菜叫Shish Taouk，我跟了老闆念了好幾次，發出的噓聲讓他們很想笑。主要是烤雞肉塊配沙拉，淋上優格和番茄醬汁，真是一天美好的收尾方式。

After having spent a day in the studio, I went to an Arabian/ Turkish eatery nearby the school for dinner. This dish is called Shish Taouk. I repeated after the owners several times, but my "sh" sounds really amused them. It's mainly skewered and grilled chicken cubes with yogurt and tomato sauce. What a lovely way to end a day...
