Sunday - Hot and sunny.  Hot!

A good day.  We both went to bed really, really late last night…I believe we both went around 5 am.  I was in bed slightly before F.  I didn't get up early at all today!

I dragged myself out of bed just before noon and F fed me some lovely bread that he baked.  I liked it, he wasn't too impressed. It was Brioche.  

We had lunch at Grado.  I had a lovely meal of local pork with camembert cheese grilled on top. It was very yummy.  F originally chose a fish dish, but they didn't have it anymore.  Instead, he foolishly chose a tomato based pasta dish.  He has problems with tomatoes too, so it wasn't a good choice.  He finished it, but wasn't too happy about it.  

Next up for us was the craft shop. I've been meaning to make F's nephew's child a baby blanket, so we had to get wool.  I didn't like the choice for baby stuff, so I branched out to some gorgeous all acrylic stuff in strong colours.  I chose a royal navy blue and a cream colour.  Unfortunately, with F being there and me having to mentally convert how many balls of yarn I'd need to get the blanket done, I made a mistake.  I only bought half of what I need.  Sigh.  And I thought I had the right sized hook on hand, but I don't.  I did a little of the pattern tonight and the yarn works up really nicely. It is so soft.  

After the craft stop and a brief drugstore run for F, we hit up the internet cafe and went to karaoke for a couple of hours.  It was fun and we enjoyed ourselves.  After our two hours, we went over to the massage chairs for an hour and relaxed.  Today I found a perfect thing for myself to watch, the Done in 60 Seconds film festival from Empire magazine and Jameson whisky.  They were weird, wacky and wonderful.

We had dinner tonight in a soba restaurant.  We had soba, which is a bit unusual for me, but it was okay.  Then, we bought groceries for tomorrow's dinner.  I think I'm going to make something semi-simple like a caesar salad with chicken on top.  For me, it sounds delicious and wonderful, but I'll be timing F to see how long it takes him to make ramen for himself afterwards!

We came home and relaxed.  I watched a bit of TV and tried out the pattern that I'll be using.  It's just a bit of counting but so far so good. It did take a while to get the first row done.  I really should check for gauge though.  I don't want to make an adult sized blanket!

After a while F went to bed.  He has to go to work tomorrow.  I do not.  I also did a couple of Postcrossings tonight.  I'm happy to finally get going on that again.  I miss it.  And that was it for me.  Got to go.  Night.
