Sunday - Hot and humid. Not rainy.
A good day. I went to bed terribly late last night so I didn’t get to update you on my Saturday. It was a mostly good day. F took me to work after brunch and I taught. I popped out to the drugstore in the middle of my classes and after class did some work for a couple of hours. I had dinner at Gusto and afterwards wished I hadn’t as it wasn’t very good.
I bicycled home and had just arrived when F called me and asked me to join his group at karaoke. I did! I had to ride off for another 10-15 minutes, but it wasn’t bad. I stuck to well lit roads and made great time.
Karaoke was fun. I didn’t know anyone and they didn’t speak English, but we managed. F and I stayed until the party broke up around 1:30 am. We rode home together.
This morning I did wake up about the time I wanted to and got up too. We had a quiet time around the apartment and then went for lunch to the Daiichi Hotel. We had variations of the same dish, both local pork but with different toppings. I think mine was slightly better.
We went to the travel agent after lunch to pay for our travel insurance. I didn’t do anything there! Then we drove around for a bit before coming home.
In the evening we drove over to Mikawa and had dinner at Cocos. It was okay. I had chicken and salad, F had curry.
Then we went to the Mall and saw Salt. I really enjoyed it. I thought it was great to see a movie with a woman who can do all sorts of action and still be intelligent. I think that Angelina was one of the very few movie stars that I could see in this role.
After the movie we just came home. F watched a bit of TV and I called my niece to wish her a happy birthday. I’m a day early, but wasn’t sure where I’d be on the actual day. It was nice to talk to her. I also talked to her little brother, who is very well spoken for a 5 year old, and my sister.
And that’s about it for me. I’ve updated you. Tomorrow I’m off work, so I may stay home, or more likely go out and arrange to get some travellers cheques or something. Wish me luck! Night.

Hi Helen,
Thanks for popping over to my blog. I see we read a few of the same blogs. I'm impressed that you post everyday. I hardly find the time these days, but am gonna try harder to update more frequently.
Is it Ok if I add you to my blogroll?
Cheers
Gina
Welcome! Yes, I found your blog through someone else that I read every day.
Please do add me to your blog roll, I'd be honoured :-)
Thanks for visiting!
The curry at Cocos is better than curry at any other family restaurant except Royal-Host (probaly it has built their restaurant chains in the Tokyo area.
Hi Mieko!
My husband really enjoyed it. It was a mozzarella and Gruyere cheese curry. It smelled good but I was worried it was too hot for me.
We don't have any Royal Host restaurants in Tsuruoka. Our city is a bit small for it, but I like to go there when I'm in Sendai or Niigata.
Thanks for visiting!
