Wednesday - Rainy and drizzly
I woke up quite early this morning. Dear F had left for work and left his alarm on again. I sleepily turned it off and tried to sleep longer. I ended up going downstairs around 7:30. I went back to bed after a bit and slept longer. My alarms went off later and I thought about getting up and didn’t. Finally, I really had to get up.
I got dressed and when it was nearly time for my friend to arrive, I went downstairs to meet her. She arrived and off we went. We talked about different places to meet but finally decided to go to La Naturalite near S-Mall. It’s a place I go sometimes when I’m having a splurge day. We had a lovely meal. They started us off with a big plate of starters of various types of vegetables, some pickled. They were lovely. For our main dishes, I had roasted local pork and my friend had a huge roasted mushroom. It looked lovely! We got a salad and a roll with our meal. They followed it up with an apple dessert and we both had tea. I had rooibos, my friend had regular tea. We paid and left. It really was a lovely meal there. We were nearly the only customers too, which was a bit sad.
We went into the mall afterwards and went to Jupiter the import store. My friend bought a few things for her children and then we went to the Doutor. I got us iced decaf cafe lattes each and they were very nice. We had a lot of great conversations too.
Finally, my friend treated me to some ice cream courtesy of Baskin-Robbins. We had some nice treats and then we had to go back to our homes. She drove me back to the house and we snapped a picture and then went our separate ways.
I came inside and went upstairs. I forgot to set the heater in the kitchen which was a bit dumb. Upstairs I watched the news and spent some time on my computer.
F called after 5 to say he was finished and was on his way back to the house. I went down a bit later and started working in the kitchen. When F arrived, I asked him about rice. I had asked him last night to make more rice if we needed it, but he didn’t! He checked and we didn’t have enough, so he very nicely made us some tonight. Tonight’s menu was air-fried chicken drumsticks, salad, cabbage salad, leftover potato salad and a bit of kimchi too. Oh, and the rice that F made as well.
After dinner I did the dishes of course. I listened to a couple of podcasts so the time passed fairly pleasantly. When I was done the dishes, I did up the garbage in the kitchen and the bathroom. Then, I asked F if there was any garbage in the living room. He checked K’s stuff and there was a lot of stuff. Happily, he got rid of a lot of it and that should be good for her too. She tries sneaking her stuff into the kitchen garbage which annoys me a lot! The kitchen garbage always gets full without her stuff.
Anyway, I put the garbage back in the genkan for F to take out later and went upstairs. I did up my big garbage bag in the corner of the room and left it for F to add to if he needed too.
Around 10 I went downstairs to take a shower. When I finished, I made some popcorn and then came upstairs to watch a new programme on WOWOW. It was called The Irrational. I liked it and will probably watch at least another episode next week.
And that was it. F stayed up a bit late but has finally gone to bed now.
Tomorrow if I can rouse myself again, I’ll get up and go to a daytime movie at the local cinema. I’ll have to leave here around 11:30 to catch the bus so wish me luck with that!
Oh, I didn’t do any work on this today, but I thought I’d let you see what it looks like now. Enjoy!
