2022

Happy New Year.

2022, I'm determined to have fun this year. Are you?

あけましておめでとうございます

私が暮らす群馬の山沿いでは、きりりと冷えた風と
明るい日差しに包まれた穏やかな元旦を迎えました。

「ステイホーム」という言葉を聞くようになって約2年。
私たちの巣ごもりスキルはこの月日の中で確実に上がり、
気がつけば、以前なら当たり前と感じていたことのなかにも
小さな楽しみや喜びを見出だせる頭と心に
変わってきたように感じています。

2022年が、みなさまにとって希望と幸せに満ちた

健やかな1年となりますことを心からお祈りいたします。

楽しい年にしようぜ。

[nokonoko journal] The progress 7

State of emergency is lifted, anti-rebound week is over, and my 100 movie challenge completed (total 103 movies by the end of Sep). Yay!

EKN #43: Harvest Moon

 

Marvin Gaye - After the Dance

An airport. Early morning. The smell of coffee. The sound of brewing.

 

#438

1.5 hour before the departure.

 

#439

Most stores are still closed. Dimmed window displays. Quiet boxes of perfume and cigarettes. Lingering smell of duty free shops.

 

#440

Coffee. Extremely hot airport coffee. Can't taste anything other than hot. Perfect.

 

#441

Staffs slowly coming in. Fresh makeups. Sleepyheads. They're still dragging their faces outside of work. I like it.

 

#442

The fact that they are here for work, soothes me.

 

#443

The fact that they will keep serving extremely hot coffee after I leave, gives me stability.

 

#444

Excitement. Nervous faces. Relief. A big bottle of water. Light sound of tapping laptop keybord.

 

#445

Gate check. Phone.
