Sunday - Hot and sunny, with a nice cool breeze.

Today didn’t start well. I got up and was moderately rude to F so he left. I don’t know why he does that. It’s much better to stay and fight!

Anyway, I sent him an apology on his cellphone, which he didn’t read. While he was gone, I had brunch and then prepared to go out and sweep the lobby of the building. (It’s our month to do it.)

He came back and I mentioned my c-mail, then he took a bath and went to bed. I went out and did my cleaning and then came back in and talked to him. It was a good thing to do as it did clear the air and we both felt better afterwards.

We went to Kintaro Sushi as F was hungry. I had a bit of sushi too and it was nice. After that, we headed for Mikawa Mall to buy socks. Last time I went shopping there I found a cute pair of socks that were big enough for my feet and I wanted to get more. They didn’t have them. They did have some that go up to 25 cm, so I’ll try them. They should fit, but who knows. F got socks too. He bought some in Jusco and some in Uniqlo so he will be well socked over the next few weeks.

We hacked around the mall a bit. We had a Java Kula in Seattle’s Best, then visited the bookstore and the dvd shop. I found a used dvd of The Importance of Being Earnest, so I bought that.

We were on our way back to Tsuruoka when F noticed a plane about to land at the airport. He saw that it had bent up wings and wanted to investigate. I’ve mentioned before on this blog that F loves planes. He does, he really does. We parked in the park near the airport and walked over to see what kind of plane it was. I still couldn’t tell you to be honest, but F was impressed. We went up to the observation deck and watched while it unloaded and then reloaded. We even watched while it took off again. It was rather cool and I took lots of photos. The view was beautiful and it was lovely to see F so into something. He doesn’t get excited often.

The Plane, the plane!

At the airport, looking away from the runway. I liked the textures.

We drove back into Tsuruoka and stopped in a shop with larger sizes. They don’t really have that many large size things, at least not in my size, but they have a few. Some of the quality is poor or the design is lacking. For example, I tried on a shirt that had really long arms, much longer than mine. I figured out that there was a hole in each arm to put my thumb through. What the heck? Is that so I don’t have to wear gloves? Just a pain to eat anything or do anything important in. I did get a top on the bargain rack, so we’ll see how that goes. I think I can wear it for work once or twice.

We had dinner at a yakiniku place downtown. It wasn’t really my choice as it specialises in organ meat, but they did have other kinds of meat too (Thank goodness.) F told me they would when he suggested it and said if there wasn’t anything I wanted to eat we could go somewhere else afterwards. It was fine actually. We had some chicken, a salad, some beef and some pork. F had his “innards” and I didn’t so I was happy.

We came home via the grocery store and have had a quiet evening at home ever since. He was watching wrestling, but it has now finished.

It’s late and I should get to bed soon, so I’m going to end this. I really didn’t have any hope for this day when I got up, but it was good after all.

Tomorrow we’ll run a few errands as F has the day off. Wish me luck for tomorrow! Night.
