Nelipäiväinen työviikko puhututtaa vuodesta toiseen, mutta mistä oikein on kyse? Tarjoaako neljä päivää töitä parempia tuloksia, kuin viisi täyttä työpäivää?

I'm going to talk about what I usually eat here in Japan.   You can find what ordinary Japanese people eat in our daily lives at this podcast "きょう　なに　たべた？(What did you eat today?)"
It's February 11th today. I ate a boiled fish for the dinner. 
***************************************************
「今日　何食べた？」というテーマで、日本人である私がどんなものを食べているのかをこのpodcastで紹介していきます。
今日は2月11日（土）　晴れ　最高気温は11℃　そんなに寒くないです。
さて、今日の夕食のメニューは　白米のごはん　たけのことわかめの煮物、小松菜とちくわの煮物、マナガツオの煮つけ、ナスのみそ汁です。　
実は、たけのこは調理済みのものを買ってきて、家で温め直してワカメを加えただけです。　みそ汁もレトルトで、食べる直前にお湯を注いで混ぜるだけです。　手抜きしました。一からちゃんと自分で調理したのは、小松菜とちくわの煮物とマナガツオの煮つけです。小松菜は、見た目はホウレンソウにちょっと似たお野菜です。だし、しょうゆ、みりんで味付けします。ほんのり甘く　薄目の味付けが私の好みです。
さて、メインディッシュのマナガツオの煮つけですが、これはやわらかい白身のお魚です。
骨も取りやすいので食べやすいです。しょうゆ、砂糖、酒、水で煮るんですが、魚の臭みを消すために、しょうがの薄切りも入れます。　魚の煮つけはだいたい甘い醤油味です。これが白いご飯にとても合います。　実は私はあまり魚は好きではないんですが、このマナガツオだけは子どものころから好きでした。　魚は部位によっては骨が多くて食べにくいところがあります。でも、子供のころ、いつも食べやすいしっぽのほうをもらっていました。大人になった今も、私は　頭のほうじゃなくてしっぽのほうを食べています。
昔に比べたら、マナガツオの値段もずいぶん高くなっていますが、たまに新鮮なものが
お店の棚に並んだときは、「あ！今日はこれ食べよう！」と即決で買っています。
「今日、何食べた？」　2月11日の私の夕食は以上です。みなさんは何を食べましたか？

La magia de la vida

Episodio 18: Miércoles de cine

Mum: Hi remember me?

Dad: Oh yeah, aren’t you wait, aren’t you the mother of my children?

Mum: Yes, how are you doing? Haven’t seen you in a while! 

Dad: Now I’ve put them to bed, I’m great! 

Mum: Today was exhausting!

Dad: Tell me about it. What time were you up?

Mum: About 4:30. I need that early morning time to get myself together and actually do some work before it all goes to hell.

Dad: Every night, I tell myself I’m going to do that, and every morning when the alarm goes off, I tell myself I need just a few more minutes of sleep.

Mum: You’re a night owl, I’m an early bird, it’s just how we are.

Dad: But I want to be an early bird and watch TV at night instead of doing the work I need to do. By the way, thanks for helping me out today. I owe you. Tomorrow, they’re mine.

Mum: It’s fine. Apart from when Justin dropped his yogurt, I think it went pretty well.

Dad: Oh, I don’t think anyone even noticed the screaming child while I was presenting – and if they did, they probably didn’t want to say anything in case they have their own children screaming on call in the future.

Mum: I don’t think I’m convinced about this hybrid working situation. Don’t get me wrong, I love not having to commute every day. With my job, that’s easily two hours of the day I get back. But organizing myself and kids and work?

Dad: Yeah, it’s a challenge. Some days I feel on top of it all, but there are days when I feel like I’m a terrible employee, a terrible father and a terrible husband.

Mum: (with joking intonation) Oh honey, don’t think like that. Trust me, you’re a terrible husband EVERY day, not just some days.

Dad: Just for that, I’m not going to tell you where Becky hid the chocolate Nutella.

Mum: I’ll just go and buy more.

Dad: or the car keys

Mum: Fine. You’re a wonderful husband on most days.

Dad: I’ll be wonderful tomorrow while you’re in your meeting. What are you doing again?

Mum: I’m just leading the meeting, but the CEO is going to be there. 

English Conversation/Dialogue

Mixing Responsibilities


These various expressions for affirmation encompass a wide range of tones and levels of formality. In everyday conversation, a simple "yes" or "yeah" suffices, and a touch of informality may be added with "sure" or "absolutely." When assurance is absolute, phrases like "without a doubt, yes" and "most definitely" leave no room for ambiguity. In informal settings, a resounding agreement might be expressed with "you bet" or "hell yeah," and a casual "totally" or "yup" carries a similar sentiment. For matters necessitating decorum, a formal approach may entail phrases like "I wholeheartedly agree" or "indeed," while "I concur" and "affirmative" maintain a level of professionalism. Politeness sweetens the agreement in expressions such as "I'd be happy to" and "that sounds wonderful," demonstrating eagerness to comply. A touch of wit adds a layer of humor to the affirmation, as seen in expressions like "in a New York minute" or "is the Pope Catholic?" In more refined circles, the upper class might communicate their agreement with endearing phrases like "absolutely, my dear" or "most assuredly," maintaining a level of warmth. For royalty, an affirmation is conveyed with grace and respect, as in "by all means, Your Majesty" or "it would be my honor, Your Highness," underscoring the formal nature of the response. Ultimately, the choice of expression hinges on the context and the level of decorum required for the situation at hand.
