Being Sherlock Holmes! 3rd Daily Diary 02/06/2020

Sherlock

Another day of quarantine! Today I waked up at 6.30 a.m It is a bit later than the other days. But I was able to get ready quickly and start my works sharply at 8.30 a.m. As usual, I pointed down important things to do while drinking a cup of milk.

I started studies after breakfast at about 8.30. I usually do studies from the veranda. Because my table is focusing on a very nice scenery. I can see a newly tilth paddy field from the far. I love green. And this place is so cool as there are many trees around. Also, I can get enough lighting and wind while I work. I continued my works until 10.00 a.m and then went to help my mother for gardening.

My favourite place to do studies

We have grown some vegetables for our domestic use. As new young Luffa fruits have originated, we wanted to cover them using polythenes. Otherwise, insects are attacking the fruits and spread to all other plants too. So my mother I spend a few minutes covering Luffa fruits.

Then I went to see my papaya plants which I planted the day before yesterday. OMG!!! One of four plants has removed by someone. So I became Sherlock Holmes😎. I noticed some footprints around the location and according to the shape of footprints they should belong to a mammal, and the depth of the footprint shows the creature is about 30cm - 50 cm high. All the evidence point into one person. 😄😄😄😄 According to my Sherlock Holmes conclusion, the criminal is my dog. 🙎 This is not the first time he destroyed my plans and I ignored and forgot everything as usual because there is no way to make him understand.

This is for fun!

I took the lunch at about 12.p.m After that I had a lecture from 1.15 p.m till 3.15 p.m. After the lecture, my brother and I went to pluck Rambutan fruits as now they are suitable for eating. Rambutan is a tropical fruit. When the skin of rambutan becomes reddish-yellow we can eat them. We have to remove the skin before eating. We eat only the flesh part and the seeds throwaway. It tastes sweet but has a little acidic flavor too. As I have heard, rambutan fruit is good for burning fat.

Plucking Rambutan fruits

After plucking we eat some rambutans and gave some for neighbors. Then I went to pick durian fruits too. In the evening our 8 years old little cousin came to our home to learn English from my mother. After his lessons, he wanted to play and I played with him as I can.

Little cousin who is running here and there always

He left about 6.00 p.m and I took a wash and did religious activities. Then I watched the news on the television to get an update about the current situation.

At about 7.30 p.m I took dinner. Today the dinner was very tasty. There were rice and 5 curries made by my loving mother. It includes Luffa curry, Gotu kola sambol ( Indian pennywort salad), Soya bean curry, Fried potato curry, Fried dry fish curry, and papadum (the crispy thing). We are adding coconut milk when cooking curries and coconut oil for fried foods. Usually, Sri Lankans like to eat spicy foods with more chili. When eating rice we don't use fork or spoon. We eat by hand. Rice and other curries are mixed well-using fingers. As we mix well, the meal tastes more.

Finally, I helped my mother to clean the kitchen. In conclusion, today I spent a long time with nature but less time with studies. But I hope I spent time in a balanced manner. Finally, I noted my feelings in the Daylio app.
