Sunday - Hot and sunny

A nice day. We both slept in a bit this morning, although F was up hours before me. He was watching TV when I finally dragged myself out of bed.

We went out for lunch a little later than we originally planned, but it was fine. We went to The Grand El Son and had a nice but small lunch there. They’ve changed some of the way they do lunch now. They have a salad bar and a drink bar available, but the entree we had was terribly small. Two tiny little pieces of pork each. Beautifully cooked, gorgeous tasting, but I understood why F was asking for a microscope, even though I shushed him a bit!

We went to the Farmer’s Market that is near where his house is. I hacked around but didn’t see much that I wanted until I saw some decent sized zucchini. I got a couple. F trolled the fish market, I stayed away! We also picked up some bagels for tomorrow.

We drove home and went to karaoke. We didn’t go to our usual place, but to one near our apartment. It’s quite a fancy place. We didn’t get free time there, just stayed for a couple of hours and sang a lot of great stuff. When we finished we were both feeling quite happy. We hit up a couple of drugstores for stuff for ourselves. We each got a sort of ankle brace. Mine is a bit too tight at the top but hopefully his is okay. I also picked up a bottle of the really nice Darjeeling tea in a bottle. It’s unsweetened and just a nice drink to have around.

We came home again for a little while, I sent a fax off to a restaurant for later this week and checked email. Then we went out again for dinner. We went back to the Farmer’s Market place for dinner. They have a “viking” there and since we used to go there for lunch sometimes, thought we’d try it. It was…not great. Most of the food was gone by the time we arrived, and despite it being on until 8:30, they only brought out two dishes. It wasn’t awful, and the food was quite tasty, but I was expecting a bit more.

We hit the grocery tonight and got something for tomorrow’s dinner. I’ll cook the zucchini and some fried chicken from the store. It’ll be pan sauted, not deep fried. No big whoop really.

At home again, we re-watched Fantastic Four, which is a fun, not great, but enjoyable movie. F likes things that are slightly simple and funny.

And that’s about it for our day. It was quite a nice one, all told. We had a good time together and that was a really nice way to spend our day. Night!
