Friday - Cooler and a bit rainy

I got up this morning and snoozed on the bed for a while. I got half-dressed in case I had to go downstairs, and then got dressed completely later.  I watched ER as usual and it was a good one. Abby and Luka left for Boston. Wah!  

I had a quiet morning and afternoon. I didn’t see or bump into K at all. I think she had a late start herself. I wrote 3 postcards today, scanned them with my phone and then sent them later tonight. 

I watched quite a lot of the shows I had DVR’d today…it was rather enjoyable. F called tonight to say he was on his way, he was a tad late, but nothing too serious. 

I went downstairs a little after 6 pm and started the water in the pot.  I got a few other things done that could be done in advance.  I was halfway through boiling the spaghetti when I remembered that I was supposed to cook some vegetables, but decided not to bother. Good call really. 

Tonight’s dinner was simple and pretty stress-free. We had spaghetti with basil sauce, salad with mini-tomatoes and smoked duck breast. It all got quite good reviews, so yay.

F gave me a hand with the dishes and asked if I’d like to go out to the Internet Cafe. I was fine with that, so off we went. We spent the next 3 hours in the massaging chairs. Hurray. I watched a little telly, and then some YouTube. I also did a bit of knitting. I’ve been making this scarf for years and I just want it done. I think I’m nearly there, so thank goodness for that!

After our time was up, F wanted to have something to eat. He suggested Gyudon, so I said I’d go if we went to Yoshinoya. They have a riceless dish there that I wanted to try.  We went and I did have the dish. It was good actually.  We also sat at a big table at first, but there was something slippery on the floor. It looked like someone had either spilled their drink or their egg on the floor. It was a horrid, slippery mess.  We moved to another table and told the waitress who had to clean it. I’m sorry. I didn’t do it. 

On the way back to the house we made a detour to a conbini and mailed off my postcards.  Whew! I made ten this month, but only just. 

We came back to the house and F went to bed and I watched Lucifer from my desk and started to blog, with many distractions.  At the moment there are forest fires raging throughout my province back home. The pictures my friends and family are sending me or posting on Facebook are quite horrendous with all of the smoke.

Well, that’s about it for me for tonight. Tomorrow F plans to go and see two doctors and I’m hoping to go and see a movie or something. Wish us both luck! Come back later if you like and see how we do. Until tomorrow….
