毎週月曜日の朝、週末に何をしたのか聞くのが定番となっている。

皆驚くほど週末を有意義に使っているんだ。

僕の「家で静かに本読んでました」は、ダメダメな週末の使い方の例だ。

同じ「読書」でも、

ロブの「トラファルガー広場で本を読んでいたよ」とかになると、良い週末の使い方の部類に入る。

ロブの周りには先週の土曜日発売された、ハリーポッターの最新版を読んでいた人がやまほどいたらしい。

テロがあってからまだ一週間なのに、トラファルガー広場でハリーポッターを悠々と読めるロンドン人って一体...

やはりロンドンの人はタフだな。

いづれにしろ、今度からもっと有効な週末の使いかたを考えなくちゃ。



Perhaps Monday morning is the only time in a week when you ask and are asked what you did over the weekend.

It's amazing how everybody spends their weekend so wisely.

I just told them I was chilling out at home, reading a novel and such; which was not quite a  correct answer.

Although it's the same 'reading', a right answer would be like R's, who said

'Oh, I was just reading some book at the Trafalgar Square'.

Damn... I was overwhelmed.

He said lots of people around him was reading the recently released Harry Potter.

Visualising those Londoners reading Harry Potter in Trafalgar Square a week after the terrorist attack made me think,

how resilient those Londoners are... it's astonishing.

Anyway, I'm going to think how to spend my weekends more preciously from no on.
