Friday - Hot and sunny, slightly less humid than yesterday

An okay day.

I got up this day, and felt a bit better than yesterday. It was slightly cooler and much less humid in the morning.  I had a quiet and slow morning.  I requested and wrote up another Postcrossing card.  This one was also going to Canada. My second in a short time. Yay.  

In the afternoon I ran out to the post office and mailed off my cards, then made a quick run to a convenience store for my late lunch.  

I came home and ate. I even tuned in at 5 pm to watch the Agatha Christie on NHK, just to find that there wasn’t one today. Boo hiss!

F didn’t get home until after 6 and we chatted and vegged for a while. I watched Nigel Slater’s Simple Dinners and drooled as always over the lovely food and his fabulous garden.  I started dinner just after the show.  

Tonight we had fried chicken drumsticks, salad and bought chawanmushi.  F was going to eat one of the drumsticks when I noticed that it wasn’t quite cooked.  He was going to eat it anyway.  Ewww.  I took it back from him, along with all the other pieces of chicken and threw them back in the pan.  After a couple minutes more we tried again.  They were finally cooked. 

After F did the dishes (not many tonight) I asked him if we could watch a DVD.  A student of mine had loaned me a movie.  I had seen it before, but not since I came to Japan, so more than 15 years ago.  It was Secrets and Lies and it was fabulous.  F enjoyed it too. I never know if he’s going to enjoy the weird little movies I make him watch, but he does.  

At 11:15 I put on Desperate Housewives and it was good.  The writers pulled up their socks in this season, a little bit anyway.

F went to bed around 12 and I watched a little more TV before turning it off and doing some internet surfing and listening to music.  

My class for tomorrow has cancelled, so I don’t have to go to work.  It’s been a bad week for work.  F has a few errands to run in the morning and then I’m not sure what we’ll get up to.  We could go and see a movie or go to karaoke depending on timing and how we both feel.  That’s it for me.  Night.
