Thursday - Colder and snowy

I woke up after F left this morning and got up fairly soon. I had a quiet morning watching the news and then my NCIS. I grabbed breakfast and didn’t do any laundry, must do some tomorrow morning then.

After a bit, I got really sleepy so I took a nap. I set a short timer so I didn’t snooze for too long. I woke up and felt quite refreshed.

I watched quite a bit of telly this afternoon and did actually work on my column. It’s going fairly well.

A bit after 4 I went downstairs and washed my dishes, then went outside and did a little snow renewal. It went well as there wasn’t much snow today. Woot.

I came back in and up to the room. I watched the news that I had taped and was surprised when F called to say that he was on his way. We chatted about dinner and I said I had no plans to cook today. He said he’d get something for his mother and that he wanted to go to the onsen tonight. It was hard to hear him as usual, so we rang off.

F came back to the house with some sushi for his mother. We left soon after to go to the onsen. F took a bath and I made use of the free wifi and the lobby chair. Yay for that. I started a new crochet project (fingerless gloves) and listened to part of a podcast. I enjoyed that. 

While I was waiting for F I noticed that today was their ¥300 ramen day. When F came back, I told him, so of course, he wanted to go. We went and F had his ramen. I had tonkatsu but without soup or rice. It was big enough for me and I don’t really need the rice at all. We both enjoyed our meals, although F didn’t think the ramen was great. It was 300 yen though, what did he expect? He said it was better than yesterday’s ramen!

We drove back to the house but stopped in at Mina to get me some salad and bread for tomorrow. Sadly, the store has finished selling the lovely British biscuits that they used to have. While we were there, F realized he didn’t have a lot of cash so I put back a couple of things, and so did he!

We came back to the house and relaxed. I watched some TV and F had a beer, the usual kind of thing. It was a nice evening really. 

Tomorrow I’m not sure what is going to happen. I need to work on my column, do a bit of laundry and I may cook dinner if F doesn’t come up with a better idea! Come back later and see what I get up to. Until tomorrow….
