Today's diary

Today I bought some duck eggs. I was going to preserve them into water filling with salt and seasoning. After 15-day-preservation the yolk will become tastier than before. It will taste like the eggs of autumn crabs. When I was busy in the kitchen, there was no water supply. Luckily, after about two hours we could get water.
the duck eggs will be preserved in this pot
At night, my daughter was in her room and locked the door. The day after tomorrow she will go to school---the new semester is coming. I was happy she didn’t watch TV tonight. I thought I could watch any programs I wanted. But I was wrong. My husband wanted to watch the war films. Finally I robbed the mobile control from his hand during the advertisement time.

In our town most people live in flats. So only a few people living at the ground floor have green fingers. We borrowed many words from English such as sofa, cool, MBA and so on. I saw a flat named “a green mansion”. It seems we use the mansion as Japanese.

Now there are lots of discounts in department stores, so it is a good time to go shopping. One of our friends will marry in the next month, so we are considering how many gifts of money we will send them. And I am also planning to buy some good dresses for the ceremony.

Today I bought some duck eggs. I was going to preserve them into water filled with salt and seasoning. After 15-day-preservation the yolk will become tastier than before. It will taste like the eggs of autumn crabs. When I was busy in the kitchen, the water was cut-off. Luckily, after about two hours we could get water.

At night, my daughter was in her room and locked the door. The day after tomorrow she will go to school---the new semester is coming. I was happy she didn’t watch TV tonight. I thought I could watch any programs I wanted. But I was wrong. My husband wanted to watch the war films. Finally I managed to wrestle control of the remote from his hand during the advertisement time.
