Oh, it's December 9th!
How quickly time goes by!
What have I been doing these days?
I attend two English circles.
I go to the community café
for the elderly people
when I am in free time
and enjoy talking.
I go to my daughter's house twice a day.
Yes, I am busy with this and that.
I walk 7000-8000 steps in a day.
My Friday English teacher always starts
with the question, “How was your week?”
My answer is always the same:
“I should say my week was pretty good.
I've been busy with this and that.
But I have nothing special to say.
I spent an eventless week.
My week was the same as usual.”
I have no energy to go on a hike
nor to go downtown Tokyo.
But I should say I am happy for the present.
============
By the way, the expression “time goes by”
reminds me of the movie Casablanca
I saw when I was a university student.
I've almost forgotten the story
but I remember the following
two expressions:
As times goes by (時のすぎゆくままに)
Here’s looking at you, kid!(君の瞳に乾杯!)
Oh, my fond memory!
