Warm and sunny. Not too hot.
Today was a good day. I was quite glad about that. This morning I got up a little after 9 to check for news, but there wasn't any. F was home and we had some coffee and some bread that we'd gotten last night. He had to run to the photographer's, city hall and his mother's place for a bit, so I stayed home and had a relaxing morning.
When he came back we went out for lunch. Today we went to the Daiichi Hotel and both had their "meat" lunch. It was local pork in a mustard sauce. It was very nice. After that, we went up to the post office where I sent off a bookmooch and then went to buy/order travellers cheques. I was really surprised because they had Canadian cheques in the branch. They did last year too though, come to think of it. They tried to give me 100's at first, but sometimes they aren't too popular, so I asked for 50's instead. I got some, and so did F. The girl took a long time selling them to us, but as far as I know, she did everything right, so we didn't mind too much. I know they aren't used much in Japan, so I imagine she didn't have much practice selling them. Of course, I did it all the time at Le Bank!
F brought me back home after this. He had more errands to run. He went to the main police station to make arrangements to get his International License again, then he went for a massage. He was having a bad back day again.
He came back around 4:30 and we vegged for a while. Then I checked the ANA site and realized that we could book some of our in-Japan tickets. F took care of those. We have one left to get, my return flight from Tokyo. Apparently ANA doesn't offer return tickets when the return flight is more than 14 days after the first one!
After a bit, we decided to go to the mall for the new frozen caffe latte, and then to dinner. It was nice. F liked the coffee and on the way out of the mall I showed him some possible socks for Zachary. Then we drifted into the shoe store nearby and both realized that we need new shoes. We thought about coming back on the weekend.
We went to the Grand El Sun for dinner tonight. We had one of their special set menus which I thought was quite expensive. We had appetizers, salad, pizza and pasta followed by coffee. It was very tasty. The downside of dinner there was it was very noisy tonight. They had at least 3 parties in the dining room. After our meal, when we paid, I realized that the price was per set, not per person as I'd assumed! Not as expensive as all that then.
On the way home hubby said he'd like to watch a movie before Desperate Housewives. That was fine with me, so at home he picked out a few but kept coming back to James and the Giant Peach. I like it, but I wasn't really in the mood for a family movie. I'd have prefered a rom-com, but he wasn't in the mood. So, James and the Giant Peach it was. I was sitting on the couch, working on my crochet when I heard that awful sound. Yep, he'd fallen asleep and was snoring. Grr! At 11 I stopped the movie, watched DH (so good tonight....lots of goings on...finally dealt with that horrible child living with Tom and Lynette, Susan's baby was named, and someone's been kidnapped!) F decided to go to bed before it started. I watched my show, then finished up J&tGP (I don't have to type it all out again do I?). I really DO like J&tGP, it's very imaginative. Course, I love Roald Dahl too!
I set up the coffee pot for tomorrow morning, then did the garbage stuff. I even threw out a pair of leaky rubber boots that have been sitting in my genkan for far too long. It felt good to put them in the bag.
So, today was quite a productive day. We got a lot of things scratched off our "to-do" lists. Tomorrow I should be a bit busy in the evening at the school. I'm scheduled for 3 classes in a row, I just hope that they all come.
A good day. Night!
Oh, but, I haven't even mentioned the eclipse today! It was a non-event up here. It was cloudy, but it didn't get dark at all at the time. We watched it on the TV this morning, rather than go outside and risk retinal damage.
Now then, good night!
