Tu veux payer 5 euros pour Notre-Dame?

みなさん、こんにちは。
わたしは、ほぼ毎日息子と主人のお弁当を作っているんです。ときには、自分のものも。
お弁当の中身、気になりますか。何が入っているか。
わたしが作るお弁当ですから、日本の一般的な男子高校生がどんなお弁当を食べているかってことになるでしょうか。
SNSなんかでは、セレブなママさんたちが「今日の息子のお弁当、食べてくれるかな」ってアップしているんですが、私の作るお弁当ってそんな感じではないです。夕ご飯の残りとそこに少しおかずを足す感じです。
とは言っても、私も日本人なので、お弁当を詰めるときには、彩りを考えますし、旬の食材を意識するんです。
さらに、息子は高校生男子ですから、栄養価も考えます。母の愛情弁当ってことになると思うんですが。
彼のお弁当作り始めて、早5年以上です。息子は、小学5年生の途中までは中国のインターに通っていましたから、お昼ごはんはキャンティーンで食べていました。小学5年生と6年生は日本の小学校でしたから、給食でした。中学校と高校は給食がないので、お弁当を持って行くことになった。つまり、私がお弁当を作ることになったというわけです。
え、じゃあなんでご主人の分も作っているのって。
はい、主人は一人で昼食を取るときは、たいていコンビニのサンドイッチのようなんです。で、それはあまり健康によくないってことで、どうせ息子に用意するのだから、ついでに主人の分もということになったわけです。
今日は、何を入れたかな。
昨日の夜のハンバーグ、鶏むね肉のレモンソテー、キャベツのみそ炒め、湯がいたブロッコリー、ミニトマト、それからゆかりご飯です。ボリュームたっぷりですよね。キャベツをみそ炒めにしてしまったので、全体的に茶色くなってしまったので、ブロッコリーとミニトマトを入れました。
この母のこだわりを息子は何も感じずに食べるのかなって感じですが。
どうですか。私のお弁当。おいしそうですか。次回は写真も撮りたいと思います。

Las Islas Galápagos, como se les conoce comúnmente, se llaman en realidad el parque Nacional Galápagos, ubicados a aproximadamente 1.000 kilómetros de la costa ecuatoriana, son reconocidas a nivel mundial por su increíble biodiversidad y su papel fundamental en la teoría de la evolución de Darwin. Este archipiélago enfrenta un desafío importante en la actualidad: el manejo eficiente del plástico que llega a sus costas. Conoce al Frente insular: un grupo comunitario fundado por el comunicador social Alberto Andrade.

Family members in Swahili with examples

"Not all heroes wear capes."

This is a phrase that's often used online to talk about normal people who do amazing things.

They don't need a cape — like Superman — to do something amazing.

But here's a hero who not only didn't wear a cape — he didn't have a name either.

Or at least, he kept his name a secret.

This is the story of a Filipino man in Japan who saved a young boy from the sea in Fukuoka city.

A 6-year-old boy was at Hakozaki pier with his family when he fell about 2 meters down into the water below. His family didn't notice at first that he had fallen, but the Filipino man did.

He was fishing nearby, and jumped into the sea to keep the boy safe while they waited to be helped out of the water.

The 6-year-old was not wearing a life jacket, and the coast guard said if the man had not jumped in, the boy could have been in trouble.

The Filipino man, who is 26 and lives in Fukuoka, gave his details to the coast guard afterward. But when the family asked for his name and his contact information, he declined and went home.

Some reports said he replied that he was not worth identifying.

SoraNews24 said the man replied in Japanese: "I'm not important enough for people to need to be concerned about my name."

The website said this is a phrase that is more likely to be used in action movies or manga, perhaps by a hero who has just saved the day.

The Filipino man was not hurt, while the boy was taken to hospital.

Man Saves Boy from Sea, Keeps Name Secret

Matòòòòò…. Si muore di caldo!!!!
Non poteva che iniziare così quest’ennesima rubrica.
Sembra che questa sia l’estate più calda di sempre – ma mi sembra che lo dicano tutti gli anni.
E quindi anche la rubrica, e quindi anche io, battiamo la fiacca alla grande!
Ma come ovviare a questa indolenza?
Di solito d’estate gli italiani si riscoprono lettori.
Certo: per leggere devi restare immobile, non muovere neanche un muscolo, così non sudi.
Mi sembra sempre una buona strategia.
E allora ecco che negli ultimi anni sono arrivati “i libri dell’estate”. perché tutti andiamo in vacanza, tutti in vacanza abbiamo più tempo.
E allora ecco che ci siamo ritrovati a consigliare libri a persone sconosciute, a comprare almeno tre titoli che dovremmo assolutamente leggere per poterne parlare alle cene di settembre, a pensare che avere più tempo da assaporare possa passare attraverso i libri.
Come se fosse facile!
Anzitutto: cercare di finire Guerra e Pace di Tolstoj, provare ancora a leggere Ulisse di Joyce, fare scorta di almeno tre o quattro gialli – che sono sempre facili e appassionanti, mettere nella lista le nuove scrittrici irlandesi e, per chi ha ceduto, avere sempre con sé il kindle, con l’illusione di poter passare da un libro che non ci piace dopo sole venti pagine, a un altro…. Che forse farà la stessa fine.
Ma dove prendere i titoli giusti?
Niente di più facile: ovunque, e dico ovunque, ci sono le liste dei trecento libri che sono adatti all’estate: almeno il vincitore del premio Strega, 2 romanzi di cui parlano tutti, un classico, come dicevo prima, almeno uno di Elena Ferrante (oddio….), un libro assurdo…. E così via.
