Friday

Cool and cloudy.

Today was a little strange. I have to say that! Last night when I went to bed I couldn't sleep, because Fumihiko couldn't sleep. After he fell asleep, I did sleep a bit, but woke up coughing. Gah. I of course woke him up. Sorry.

I was sleeping and enjoying myself this morning when I got a call from my husband on the house phone. The call was before my usual wake up time. He wanted to tell me that the fire alarm checking crew were on their way. I knew that it was today, but he had told me that they would come between 9 and 12 and it wasn't 9 am yet. I told him that if they tried to come in before 9 I'd tell them to come back. It didn't meet with a good response, but honestly. He woke me up and then wants to argue when I just want to head to the.... Well, anyway I went back to bed and tried to sleep a little longer, but failed miserably. I got dressed and watched TV and waited for the inspection team. They arrived promptly at 10:15...two hours after my husband's call. Grr. How many of you think he was calling just to wake me up???

Anyway, that being done for another 6 months, I got on with my day. I watched a bit of TV and then had a lovely omelette of ham and cheddar cheese.

I rode off into the sunset west on my bicycle. I made good time and got ready for my class. It went quite well and was over quickly. The child is really trying these days. He's doing well. Other students work harder, and are easier to teach, but he's become so much better over the years.

I cleaned up a little...not much to do today...set up for tomorrow, and then texted my husband. He called me back after a bit and came to get me. We came home first for him to change clothes, then went out for okonomiyaki at our little place. It's a converted house, it's near our grocery store and its a small business. We were the only customers tonight and were treated to a yummy meal of curry-cheese and kimchee okonomiyakis. They were good. We bought a few groceries afterwards, then came home.

We spent a quiet but nice evening together. We watched the end half of DOA with Meg Ryan and Dennis Quaid on the telly, then Fumihiko watched a few things before making an attempt to get to bed.

Tomorrow morning he's off early to Fukushima for some testing. I have classes so I can't go with him. I'll have a long break in the middle of my day, so I plan/hope to do some book-keeping and some redecorating. My school needs a bit of changing around again. Spring is nearly here....isn't it? Please tell me it is, lie if you have to!

That's it for me. Got to go. Night.
