A day for the line at the shop, clinic, station, office, or counter, and the social art of waiting well.
You hear the dripping long before you call for help. The stranger arrives with a toolbox and knows exactly where to look. Silence returns to the pipes while you hand over the payment.
You stare at the screen waiting for the three dots to appear. The reply comes hours later with an apology you do not really need. Silence speaks louder than any words you could type back.
A useful nudge to move the chair, check the corner, wipe the forgotten shelf, and give the home a proper reset.
A day for the proof of purchase nobody can find until the warranty is over.
You witness Saharan fenec foxes, addax antelope, and Barbary macaques inhabiting Algeria's deserts and mountains. You see that people commonly keep dogs, cats, and budgerigars as beloved pets.
