Hot and sunny, gorgeous day.

Well, yesterday ended early today for yours truly. I stayed up watching Factory Girl on WOWOW. It didn't end until very late, so didn't go to bed until the sun was coming up. I slept in basically until 12.

We had a late lunch around 3 at Kintaro Sushi. We were the only people there for a while and then it started to get busy.

After lunch, F drove us to Atsumi Onsen. It's still technically Tsuruoka, but is quite far away. He wanted to go to an "Ashie Yu" or hotspring footbath. He'd finally got me to go to a couple when our friends were here last month, and now wanted to try a new one. We parked and walked to one of the bath sites. It wasn't very busy. Hubby stripped off his socks and shoes , and I took off my sandals. The water was too hot for me. F liked it a lot, but I couldn't stand it. Instead, I looked at a duck and her ducklings in the river and took a picture of my hubby looking remarkably like Huck Finn! All he needed was a corncob pipe, but let's not give him any ideas.



A couple of people left the bath and so we tried their spot. It was a little cooler, much better for me. So, I actually put my feet in the water. It was quite nice. The sun was really hot, I think I would have enjoyed it more on a colder day.

We came home. It took about an hour to get home and then we watched the remaining disk of Lost that we'd rented last week. We've seen up to episode 12 of the first season. It's really good so far.

Dinner tonight was at a Chinese restaurant that we'd never tried before. We couldn't agree on a restaurant that we often go to, so thought this would be an interesting compromise. It was okay. I had a pork stirfry, different from mine though, with some kara-age and gyoza. F had some fried noodle thing.

We dropped off the dvds on the way home and settled in for a quiet evening. I watched Hitman which wasn't great, but the star was okay. I also chatted with one of my AFWJ peeps about poutine of all things!

And that was it. I'm basically on my way to bed, or really should be soon. Wish me luck with that. Night.

I love the picture of your husband. You are right, it is so Huck Finn- like. It is cute that you caught him looking like a little kid. What is that saying that all men are really little boys deep down inside?

They are, aren't they?

Thanks for the comment Trisha. :-)
