Thu, 1 October

FIELD NOTES — residential block, 1 Oct 07:12 — Subject (A.) departs repair stall mid-sentence, scooter left propped, handlebar angled toward the kerb. Mechanic's hands remain open at his sides for several seconds after subject has gone; gesture reads as a question, unanswered. 07:40 — Spoodle, male, black coat, observed retching on hallway rug. Amber light crossing the floorboards. No distress vocalization; behavior logged as routine, almost bored. 16:05 — Juvenile cyclist, unsteady, recovers from near-fall with one foot grounded. Green parrot on fence observes without alarm call. Subject does not cry. 19:50 — Evening feeding event: chicken offered, pill concealed at center. Dog's attention fixed, posture hopeful. Window behind glows deep indigo; the day's light fully spent. Note: four small failures today, none fatal. The street absorbs each one and keeps walking.
