Tuesday - Rainy with thunder at night

I woke up with my alarm but didn’t stay up. I turned on the heater, got back into bed and watched the news. I snoozed a bit through Bake-Off and then had to rewatch it later as it was the final with the lovely Nadiya in it. It was rather wonderful.

I had a very quiet day today. I didn’t see K at all to talk to during the day. She was up for a lot of the day, which was great.

Around 5:30 pm I went downstairs to get a start on dinner. I was making a stew tonight, so I did my thing. I got all the veggies prepped and then the meat. Most of it was fine, but I’d bought a big piece of meat yesterday and I needed to cut it up. I got it in the pot soon enough and started cooking. It seemed to go together rather well.  

K popped into the kitchen around 7 wondering about F, but he was working late tonight. He’d told me but hadn’t told her I think.  I tried to explain that he had to work late, but she didn’t understand me. Between my lack of Japanese and her deafness, we are a right pair!

I got the stew done and plated it for K and me. I took things out to the table and we proceeded to eat. It was great! K kept telling me that it was delicious and it was! I’d finished eating and was just waiting with K while she finished when F called to say he was done.  I told K that F was coming.  I cleared the table and got most of the dishes washed before he arrived.

F got to have some of the stew and the salad and he enjoyed it too. Yay. He was quite tired afterwards. I did the rest of the dishes, which wasn’t a big deal and then hung around waiting for my friend to come by.

She had texted me to let me know that she would drop off the textbooks for the classes I’m teaching next week. She duly arrived and I chatted with her for a few minutes before she went back to her apartment.

I came upstairs and watched a little TV before taking a shower.  I watched the season finale of The Handmaid’s Tale and it was very cool. Now I have to wait until season 3 gets here. Grr!

That’s about it for me. Although I didn’t go out today, there wasn’t a pressing need to go out. Tomorrow night, however, I probably will need to go out. Come back later and see what happens here.  Until tomorrow….
