You can hear the voice recording for the diary.
雲ひとつない快晴の中、散歩がてらお目当ての揚げパンを買いに行ったが、午前中に足を運んだのが功を奏して、残り3つのところで無事にゲットできた。
It was a perfect day for a walk, and heading out in the morning proved to be the right call as I managed to snag one of the last three fried bread rolls.
往復でちょうど1時間のウォーキングは運動不足解消に最適だし、道中は英語のリスニングに集中できるから、まさに一石二鳥の有意義な時間だ。
The round trip took exactly an hour—a perfect distance for light exercise—and it served as an ideal time to immerse myself in English studies, killing two birds with one stone.
午後イチの会議中にこっそり味わった揚げパンは格別で、学生時代はそれほど好きではなかったのに、大人になった今、この素朴な甘さが無性に心に染みる。
While the price has doubled since my last visit, the 200 yen was a small price to pay for such satisfaction, and I savored the nostalgic flavor during my early afternoon meeting.
価格は以前の倍の200円になっていたけれど、この満足度を考えれば安いもので、自分の機嫌を自分で取るための必要経費だと思えば全く気にならない。
It is interesting how I never cared much for fried bread during my school days, yet now I find myself craving its simple sweetness more than ever.
久しぶりに思い出したこの「揚げパン散歩」を新しい習慣にして、心身の健康を維持しながら、美味しいおやつと英語学習をセットで楽しんでいこう。
I plan to turn this “fried bread stroll” into a regular habit, combining physical activity and language learning with a small, delicious reward to keep myself motivated.
To be continued.
