Spring has arrived in London! Even the clear skies feel slightly hesitant, as if still carrying the crisp transparency of winter. I love this kind of spring in this country. The first image is a collage of plants we all gathered in the park. It feels like a ritual to welcome the season is about to begin. In the city, we live so entangled with such a diversity of living beings. From the second image onward, as usual, just a few words with each photo.
「２年前の泣きべそかいてた私！全然大丈夫やで〜！」と言いたいが、言えないので、今もどこかで頑張る誰かにエールです。具体的に想像できるものは大抵手に入るのである。
Last week marked two years since I moved to London! When I arrived, I had nothing in this country, no home, no friends, no partner, not even a language I could speak.haha And yet, somehow, it's now filled with so many things I treasure. Surprising, really, though maybe not, since it's really just the ideal life I'd written out in bullet points in my notebook, steadily coming true.
I'd love to tell my past self, the one who was on the verge of tears two years ago, "Hey, you're going to be just fine!" But since I can't, consider this a cheer for anyone out there still pushing through. If you can picture it clearly enough, you can usually make it happen!
I’m now halfway through my master’s programme. I just got my essays back and the scores were all Distinctions. I only started learning English after turning 30, and I’d never even written academic papers before, which is common for art school graduates, but as long as passion and effort keep being fuelled by enjoyment, you really can do almost anything. I give a lot of credit to myself for keeping this going for two years. I’ll keep pushing forward!!!
もうすぐ2年が経つというのに今だに3回目のデートみたいな気分のロンドンで、緑とオレンジと青を記録。

ロンドンに移住して一年半、なんも上手くいかん圧倒的に孤独な日々のなかでずっとずっとずっと日記を書いてました。
「よそ者」として新しい国でギリギリ息して、大学で新しい概念に出合いまくり目が点で、そんで初めて「東京」という生き物を遠くから眺めて。ようやっと気づいた大切なこと、実は大切ではないことなど。
SNSにはとても流せないような煩悩まみれの27篇の日記を再編集した、日本語/英語併記のエッセイ本です。
1 せいろ
日本から持参。蒸し野菜は神。本格っぽいのに超簡単なので必須。
２ の時計
アラームが必要だからとスマホを持ち込んで寝るのが嫌で買ったが超超超正解。チクタク音がないし、タップするとほんのり明るくなるし最高。アラームを言い訳にスマホスクロールしながら寝るのやめたいもんな。
３ Phone とイヤホン
もうiPhoneは古いという持論。中身はGoogle Androidで外観や中のグラフィックがかっこいい最強スマホ。Gemini連携が気持ちい。Macとエアドロップできないのだけ傷。もはやパソコンの方をもう変えたい。
４ Aesopのお香： さんに頂いたもの。陽炎（かげろう）の香り、いい…。夏の地面からてりてりと立ちのぼる蒸気をあえて、寒い冬に想起し熱を感じる贅沢。私は推しブランドしかPRせん。Aesopは自腹で超いっぱい買ってる永遠の推し。#PR #aesop
５ M&Sのランプ：イギリスのスーパーで見かけて7000円くらいで買い！某有名ブランドの気配を感じるのでうーん思想的にこういうのは買うべきではないよなと思いつつ、貧乏大学生なので許してくれ。10万のランプは買えんのじゃ。
６ のグラス：食洗機も、手が滑って落としても無敵なグラスを６つお迎え。丈夫で数があることで、ガンガン使えるので生活が心地良くなった。機能的で丈夫な器と手洗いの繊細な器はバランスよく持つと豊かになるな。
７ランプ：ビンテージショップで5000円くらいで買った激安ランプ。
８ アクセサリーケース：蚤の市で一目惚れの美しい形。
９ 植物：日本を離れるときに泣く泣く植物をお譲りして２年、イギリスに長く住む目処が立ったのでついに植物を迎えた。植物がある家というのはその場所に定住する長い未来を暗示してくれるからグッと心地よいのかもしれん。
10 台所からの景色で〆
ジャネーの法則で、人生における1年の比率が子供は大きく、また新鮮な体験の多いことで、記憶が濃密になり時間が長く感じられるなどとはよく言いますが、イギリスに来てからの私は子供に戻ってしまったかのように、幼い英語を発話しながら横たわるツリーや大きな生のハムに目を丸くしているのです。
そういう意味では私は人よりも時間の体感が長いということで、それは時間的な概念を超えて長生きができているということなのかもしれません。帰り道に役目を終えて歩道に横たわるツリーを避けながら、私は人生で同じこの繰り返しをあと何度できるのだろうかと考えました。（続きは写真を横へスライドお願いします）
Earlier today at the supermarket, I noticed Easter-themed chocolates shaped like rabbits and eggs. It felt a little early, and yet it made me realise that I am about to experience the same season for the second time in the UK.
Once you have lived through more than thirty cycles of life, I think you start to lose track of how many times you have repeated the same seasons. At least, I have. But here in London, I feel as though I am counting them again from zero, freshly and attentively.
There is the idea known as Janet’s Law, that a year occupies a larger proportion of a child’s life, and that time feels longer because experiences are new and memories are denser. Since coming to the UK, I feel as though I have returned to childhood, speaking in clumsy, immature English, widening my eyes at Christmas trees laid out on the pavement and at enormous slabs of uncooked ham.
In that sense, perhaps I experience time more slowly than others, and maybe that means I am living longer in a way that goes beyond chronological time. As I walked home, avoiding Christmas trees that had fulfilled their purpose and now lay abandoned on the pavement, I wondered how many more times in my life I would be able to repeat this same cycle.
And then I realised that I want to spend this exact time of year in exactly the same way, over and over again. Ignoring ageing and changes in lifestyle, even if I were lucky enough to repeat this moment another fifty times, seeing Easter chocolates in the supermarket and tilting my head, thinking “that’s rather early”, it still would not be enough.

📷️ お正月写真は に撮ってもらいました。
Only the first photo is good — the rest are a random mix of snaps I took with my iPhone throughout March in London.
日本でSENNさんに取材いただいた記事が公開に(過去の他の記事を読んでくださっている方には重複が多い内容かと思います)。話の中で２月の東京、3月のロンドンそれぞれの一ヶ月の写真をまとめてみようということに。ふたつを比べてみると大した異なりはなく、何処にいるかとか状況よりも、何気ない日々をどう見るかの態度が肝だよなあとやはり感じます（2枚目以降に東京、ロンドンの写真を織り交ぜてみました）。
こちらでの日々はというと、英語学習が今までの人生で取り組んだどんなことよりもとにかく楽しい（投稿の英訳も自分で０から書いてみてます）。できないことができるようになっていく、このプロセス自体の喜びを超えるものってないんですね（逆に、何らか工夫してもプロセスが楽しめない切磋琢磨は限りある人生に必要ないとも思います）。
郵便を出すとか口座開設とか修理とか日本だと単に面倒だったような出来事も、それを異国で、英語でこなしている自分に毎度熱狂するし、字幕なしのTEDを理解できる度にガッツポーズしながら、自分が直接触れることのできる情報が日々指数関数的に増えている事実を刻一刻と確かめます。
あと拙い英語ながらも友達がだんだん増えていて、こんな私に付き合ってくれてる友達みんなに大感謝だし、同時に拙くもまた会いたいと思ってもらえる自分自身の培ってきた魅力にも気づきます。英語が喋れるとか英語圏では当たり前なので（日本国内の日本語話者で考えると当たり前なんだが忘れがち）、どんだけ流暢でも素敵でないと友達はできないわけで。
この点でもやはり「どう見るかの態度」が肝なんだと思います。世界への態度はいつだって言語の制限をこえますね 。

ですのでここでは詳細は割愛し、留学のきっかけになったノルウェーに一人向かう機内で書いた2023年8月9日の日記の一文を抜粋します。
「次の人生のヒントを手にいれる旅にしたいな。何か起こるかな？どうかな？いつだって、そのときその瞬間はなんとも思わなかったことがその後の人生を大きく左右する分岐点だったりする。私はこの旅で、翌年以降の人生を思い通り、否、思いもよらない方向に突き動かす何かを、手に入れられるのだろうか。」
このあと私は思いがけずノルウェーの森に籠ることになり、それがきっかけで留学を決めて、大学院に合格し、ほとんどの仕事をやめて、それでたった半年後のいまロンドンの家でこれを書いているんですから、人生って不思議で面白いですね。
和歌山と東京でしか暮らしたことのない田舎者がひとり日本を飛び出して、なんの縁もない異国で暮らす。これからぶち当たる思いがけないトラブルや葛藤、不安、小さな喜び、そして出会いの数々を、ここで細々と記録していきたいと思います。

My life in London starts today. The journey to this moment—realizing I needed to study in graduate school, quitting almost all my jobs, the hardships I faced after becoming independent, and the hope I found through these challenges—was meticulously covered in a long interview with Designing, published three days ago. Therefore, I'll skip the details here and instead share an excerpt from my diary written on August 9, 2023, on a plane alone to Norway, which became the catalyst for my studies.
"I want this trip to be one where I grab the next hint for my life. Will something happen? I wonder? Often, moments that seemed insignificant at the time turn out to be pivotal crossroads in life. On this journey, will I find something that not only directs but propels my life in an unexpected direction in the coming years?"
Unexpectedly, I ended up to stay in the woods of Norway for 3days, which led me to decide to study abroad, get accepted into a university, quit most of my jobs, and now, just six months later, I'm writing this from my new home in London. Life is indeed strange and fascinating.
Being a country girl who has lived only in Wakayama and Tokyo, it's a fresh start for me to leave Japan and live in a foreign land with no connections. I look forward to documenting the unforeseen troubles, conflicts, anxieties, small joys, and the numerous encounters that lie ahead.
