Rainy.
Today was quite a good day. I got up late and then the two of us went out for brunch. Our first choice was closed for lunch, so we went to Gusto. It was busy there, but the food was okay.
We did a lot of shopping for Fumihiko's hospital stay. We got him some towels. We went to a "recycle" shop and bought him some of the towels from wedding gift sets. They're all brand new, so no problems. We'll just wash them to get the store feeling off them! After that, we went to another store and got him a couple of pairs of pajamas.
We ended up going to the hundred yen shop in the mall to get him some other things. We didn't get him the chopsticks there though as he was too darn picky! He got a cup (although as he chose a china one rather than a plastic one like I suggested, I don't know why he doesn't just take one from home!) We went downstairs afterwards and had teas at Doutors. We saw a friend of ours and waved, but he didn't see us. Bit sad about that. I haven't seen him in years, but I think he was rushing off for the bus.
We came home to drop off our shopping and then went out for dinner a bit later. We went to the Daiichi Hotel tonight. It was nice. I'm happy to say that they have dropped the whole buffet thing and so we just ordered off the menu. Much nicer. We had Shonai Pork with ginger sauce. It was very nice. Then, we came home.
Fumihiko wanted to watch some Amazing Stories on video, so he did, and then I watched Sleuth, the new Kenneth Branagh directed one, with Michael Caine and Jude Law. It was....not so good. It didn't really hold my attention. I spent more time playing computer games than watching the film.
When it finished, WOWOW then showed Sleuth, the original Lawrence Olivier/Michael Caine one. What a difference. That one did hold my attention, especially after the scene setting began. Much better version. Wonder why Ken decided to even bother? It was a bit gimmicky having Caine do the role that Olivier did all those years before. Hmm.
I spent some time doing a Facebook note thing about movies. It was rather an odd list. It felt like it had been compiled by a 17 year old who only liked horror and fantasy movies! Still, I'd seen about a third of the movies!
Anyway, I'm off to bed soon. Night!

I'm just wondering about hospital stays in Japan. Yasu reckons that the nurses are only there to assist the doctor so they don't do any of the washing/feeding/helping stuff, that's why my MIL has to go be with my FIL in hospital. Is this true?
I'm honestly not sure. I think he may be right, but this will be my first time to go to the hospital for more than one day.
I'll try to let you know when I get back, okay?
Sure, look forward to reading about it. :)
Wow, i just noticed you changed your blog theme...it's very orange!! I usually read from bloglines...
I'm just playing around with it. I get bored easily! Is it good or not?
I liked the other one better but i like the way you can comment "funny, interesting etc" on the bottom of each post. So it has it's good points! And it's up to you, if you like it or not.
