Thursday - Clear and cold

I had a good day. I think I forgot to set my alarms in the morning, but I woke up anyway. I got up and watched the news and then ER which I hadn’t planned to watch, but did anyway.

I had a very quiet morning. I used my new spoon at breakfast and it was great. I really liked it. I came upstairs to eat and while I was watching some TV and working on my column, I heard the doorbell ring. I went down and it was K’s brother and his wife.  They gave us a bunch of vegetables and went to talk to K for a while. I was friendly and polite and excused myself soon as I can’t communicate with them very well.

In the afternoon, K cooked some of the vegetables and I worked on my column some more. I had lunch too, I ate the last of the avocados. I was worried it would be off, but actually, it was fine. 

After lunch, I buckled down and actually got my column about done. I like to sit on it for one night and tomorrow I’ll re-read it, listen to it on the speaking function of my computer and then sent it off to the editor if I like it. Yay!

I worked on my crochet a bit today. I did about two rows while I was watching something on the news so yay for me.

F came back to the house around 6:00 I think. He suggested going to the same place I was thinking about so it was a no brainer! We took K with us and had a good meal. We went to Youme-shokudo near the post office. I had chicken steak, F had ginger pork and his mother had yaki-saba. I think we were all pleased with our meals. After dinner, we brought K back to the house. I checked something upstairs and then we were off again.

Tonight was the onsen for F. I didn’t mind. I sat in the lobby with a coffee and did a bit of crochet while I listened to a podcast or two. I never listen to them at the house, for some reason. I almost finished my first ball of yarn. I like it a lot, but I’m not quite in love with it yet. In fact, I’m thinking of starting another similar project to see if I like it more. I’m using self-striping yarn and it is really pretty, but the long rows I have now don’t show it off that well. Hmm.

When F came out of the shower he wondered if I wanted to go for a drink. I suggested that we not go, but that he have a drink where we were and then we get some shopping afterwards. He liked that idea! 

Since we got a lot of spinach today and we have eggs and milk, I thought I might make a quiche tomorrow for dinner. It won’t have a crust, but that’s okay. My only problem is my pie plate is missing in action, like most of my stuff. I have another, slightly smaller pan I’ll have to use so hopefully, it’ll work. 

F and I had a quiet evening in. I took a shower and watched a little TV. I’ve been chilling for a while!

Tomorrow I have to polish and finish my column, pack my suitcase and make dinner. I hope it all works out! Wish me luck with it all, please. Come back later and see what I get up to. Until tomorrow….
