You can hear the voice recording for the diary.
自宅近くの駅での電車鑑賞。
We watched the trains at the station near our apartment.
昨日に続いて、時刻表に乗っていない貨物列車がたくさんきて、飽きずに駅での時間を過ごせた。天気はあまりよくなかったけど、それでも雨は降らなかった。
Just like yesterday, we saw freight trains pass by in front of us — the kind that aren’t listed on the timetable — and enjoyed spending time on the platform. Although the weather wasn’t great, it didn’t rain while we were at the station.
お昼を駅のうどん屋で食べた後、電車に乗りたいというので、２区間だて乗ってきた。
After having lunch at a nearby udon restaurant, my son asked to ride a train, so we took a short round trip to a station two stops away.
もっと遠くまで行きたかったけど、急な思いつきだったので近場で済ますことに。次の週末にもう遠くに行くことを約束して帰宅した。
We actually wanted to go farther, but since it was a spontaneous idea, we kept it short this time. Before getting off the train, I promised my son that we’d go on a longer trip next time.
近くでも今ならまだ十分に楽しめるので、しっかり近場を満喫しつつ、今はお金を貯めたい。将来に向けての投資のために。
He accepted the promise and seemed satisfied with today’s short ride. So, we’ll keep enjoying these small adventures together for now — and in the meantime, I’ll keep saving money for future investments and bigger trips.
To be continued.
