The Perfect Pillow Arrangement and a Game of Charades About Shower Gel

Hellish heat, so I only went in the afternoon. I figured out the right pillow arrangement — I hadn't slept that well in ages. At the shop I played a bit of charades with one of the stockers: 'shawa gel' didn't land, but at 'body soap' the penny dropped at once.

Weather: hellish heat · Lunch: onigiri · Dinner: maybe I’ll skip it today, it’s so hot… all right, in the end I had sushi

I only went in the afternoon. For one thing, I figured out the right pillow arrangement. I hadn’t slept that well in ages.

Other than that? I worked. And got tired again.

At the shop, though, I went to buy shower gel. Or rather, I played a bit of charades with one of the stockers. He didn’t understand “shawa gel.” But in the end we sorted it out — though we had quite a laugh about my not knowing the word. At first he wanted to give me a soft, silky shower gel, since he couldn’t quite picture what I was after. It turned out that if I’d said “body soap,” the penny would have dropped for him right away.
