Friday - Snowy and warm early on, colder now
This morning I woke up when F came back into the bedroom saying it was cold outside and we’d had a lot of snow overnight. I did ask if he needed help with it, but he said no.
I had a quiet morning really. I didn’t see K at all. I did a couple of loads of laundry and when it was done, I hung it up here in the room. I decided to go out and shovel some snow around 12:30, so I did. I got dressed up in a sweater and a vest and my winter coat and hat and then went out. The snow was fairly soft still, so it wasn’t too hard to do. I got about half of the driveway done when I started to overheat, so I took off my coat, undid my vest and put it in the house next to my slippers. K was in there and I said hello. I think she was cheering me on!
I moved a lot of snow and got most of the parking space cleared out. I thought that the bits of snow left on the concrete would probably melt and that’s what happened.
I went inside and undid my coat. K had picked up my vest and put it on her coat rack. That’s the first time something like that has happened so I guess it is progress!
I came down to fix my lunch and F called to say he was making a quick trip back, did I want anything? I said no, and he did arrive a little later. He couldn’t stay long of course.
I took my lunch upstairs and ate. I watched a mildly amusing movie with Stania Katic in it and worked on a few computer things, then I brought my dishes down to the kitchen and washed them. I checked to see if I needed to do more shovelling, but I didn’t. Yay.
I went back upstairs. Last night I had said I’d cook dinner if F wanted me to, just pasta, nothing too exciting, but I realized that I really didn’t want to do that! When he called to say he was on his way, I mentioned that I really didn’t want to cook. We decided to go out and he asked me to think of a place. Well, I made a list with 6 places on it.
When he came back, I showed him the list and he suggested someplace not on my list. Then another place not on my list. I didn’t like either of the places he suggested. Then he went back to one of my choices. We all ended up going to Coco’s tonight and it was nice! F doesn’t like it, or says he doesn’t, but he always orders the wrong thing. He’ll get raw fish there or something, they aren’t a fish restaurant. Or he’ll order noodles, but they aren’t a ramen place so he is disappointed. We both had chicken tonight. Mine was okay, but I wouldn’t have it again, he had a chicken steak donburi. It looked quite nice and I almost wished I’d had that. K had mackerel with miso sauce and liked it. She liked the drink bar too, and once she figured out how to use it, had a lot of vegetable juice!
We came back to the house before 9 pm. I was able to watch Castle “live” and then Scorpion. I watched a few other things and then remembered to check out the NHK Friday night movie. It was Tremors! I came in about halfway through, but I love that movie so freaking much. It made me remember when I first saw that film. It had played in the big cinemas downtown, but for some reason I didn’t go. I didn’t like scary films back then. Finally, I’d heard that it was good, so I took two buses to the west end of Edmonton, to an area I didn’t know terribly well and went to see Tremors. I think I went back the next weekend too! It’s still one of my favourite movies ever.
That’s about it. It’s quite cold outside now and we can hear the snowploughs working at 3 in the morning. I’m glad I don’t do that job.
I’m not sure what is going to happen tomorrow. My plans with a friend had to be cancelled, so I have a lot of time to kill. I could do some crafting, or I could buckle down and work on my column. Come back later on and see what I get up to. Until tomorrow….
OH, and lastly…Happy Robbie Burns Day! I didn’t eat them today, but I do have some haggis flavoured potato crisps I can have…maybe tomorrow?!!
