Saturday - Rainy, sunny, cooler
It’s so very late right now that I should skip the blog, but that would make me sad so here’s the short version of the day.
F and I couldn’t sleep last night. I went to bed somewhere around 5 am…serves me right for drinking that Starbucks Nitro coffee in the evening. F couldn’t sleep due to his back again.
I did get up finally after 11 and got dressed. F wanted to go out for lunch and suggested an okay place today, so we went there. We had a good lunch, we both had steak, although this time we had smaller steaks than the one F had the first time he went there.
After lunch, we went to the museum to see the exhibit. It wasn’t a really interesting one for me, mostly writing stuff, but there was a fascinating map in the room. While we were in the exhibit room, it rained torrentially. We were surprised when we left the building how wet it was. We did our usual thing of checking out the garden…lovely…and then I asked that we visit the corner of the museum with the sashiko examples. We did that and as always, they were very cool to see. The tiny stitching and it was sooo straight. How did they do it?
We went back to the car and I got in. A few seconds later I felt something wet underneath me and pulled it out. F, dear F, had left the windows open when we went into the museum and the rain had come in my side and soaked my cushion. ARGH.
We went to the craft store next. I had wanted to see if I needed to renew my membership, but when we got near the cash register, it was quite busy. There were 4 people in line and I didn’t want to wait. F got a bit mad at me, probably because when he suggested I get the app for the craft store I told him that I had asked him to help me with it before but he hadn’t bothered. It’s the story of my life, to be honest. I can ask him to help me with computer things, he says he will and I never see him again.
We had a nice glass of iced tea and a cake at the kissaten that F likes and then bought his mother a bento for her dinner. F was taking his own sweet time in the store and I needed the ladies room, so was trying to hurry him up. I made it back to the house just in time.
We gave K the bento and then drove out to Mikawa. We had dinner first but split for that. F wanted udon and I wanted pasta. I had cold pasta with cold carbonara sauce at the restaurant and it was good! After dinner, F and I met up again and went to the new hundred yen shop in the mall, Seria. We had a good snoop around the store. It has lots of stuff, but I didn’t buy much.
We went up to the cinema, got our drinks and popcorn and went to see Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, the new Quentin Tarantino film. I really liked it. It wasn’t perfect at all, but I found it quite enjoyable. If you are going to watch two people for almost three hours, it doesn’t hurt if they are Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt! I liked it, but the ending was rather over the top.
We came back to Tsuruoka and the house after the film. We had a quiet evening. I caught the last bit of Deadpool 2 on WOWOW and howled at it as always.
Not sure yet what we’ll get up to tomorrow. There are a few things we are thinking about, come back later and see what we end up doing. Until tomorrow….
