Saturday - Cold and snowy

Got up a little late this morning as I had stayed up late last night. It wasn’t a big deal as I didn’t have an early class today.

I got up and showered and F came home somewhere in there. After that, I went through to the living room, used my computer for a bit and then took a nap for an hour. I broke it up by setting my alarm to ring every 20 minutes. I felt much more awake when I got up.

We had a mostly nice lunch at Ringo-en. We both had bibinba with some yakiniku too. There was one not so great part though. When the waiter came in the room to bring us food, a draught came up and swept the wrapper for F’s oshibori to the floor. The waiter picked it up and put it back on the table. After it had been on the floor. F and I both stared at it after the waiter left our room! F moved it off the table to a nearby chair. I think he was quite grossed out by the whole thing.

After we got to my school, F helped me by shovelling a lot of snow. He cleared most of it out of my parking space. While he did that, I cleared the snow on the walkway and from the parking space to the walkway. There was such a lot of snow today. F left after a bit and I did a little bit more on my space. I’m quite picky and don’t like there to be much snow or ice on my space at all if I can help it.

It was all for naught however, as my student didn’t come today. She called a few minutes before my class and told me that she was still not feeling well. She didn’t sound very good, so it was probably better that she didn’t come today.

After I finished up in the school I called F and reminded him to come to the parking lot. The front entrance to my school has huge snow boulders in the way and even though I cleared the snow from the sidewalks there, I couldn’t climb over them, especially not in the dark. I tore the ligaments in my foot doing that last year and they still aren’t healed so I really don’t want a repeat. When F arrived, of course he came to the front entrance. Sigh. I kept pointing to the back but he didn’t even look at me for ages. Gah. Finally he got the message and then when he came into the parking lot he wouldn’t stop the car long enough for me to get in. Hells bells, it was cold out there and he wanted to get into the perfect position?

We had dinner tonight at the Spa/Farmer’s market place again and it was nice. They had decent food tonight, and lots of it. There was actually quite a few things that I liked so I was happy.

We came home after dinner and had a quiet but nice night in. We watched Shrek Forever on WOWOW. It was much better than the third film. It was a bit like Shrek does It’s a Wonderful Life! I followed that up with some Top Gear, a little Project Runway, and then Gossip Girl. Wow. I don’t usually watch that much, it’s just that lately Friday and Saturday’s have stuff on I want to watch.

And that was my day. We might go and see Fright Night tomorrow. It is playing in Mikawa. I’m not sure. Tune in tomorrow and find out what happens. Night!
