Monday - Cloudy with a bit of rain
This morning I woke up when F’s alarm went off. It is a good thing I woke up because he didn’t! I gently woke him and he got up and went off to work. I fell back asleep and thought I’d wake up when my alarms went off. Only, they didn’t go off because I forgot to set them last night. Oops! I woke up just before 9 which wasn’t too bad really.
I got up eventually, dressed and went downstairs to get breakfast. Today I made myself oatmeal and it was lovely. I really enjoyed it. I might put some dried fruit or something in it next time, but plain was fine with me.
I came back upstairs to eat and started watching some of The Walking Dead. They’ve started re-running some of the episodes in the daytime and they are episodes that I have missed for one reason or another. Today I finally got to see the one where Lori dies. It was sad, and it fills in a few gaps. I think I watched about 3 episodes of The Walking Dead today, but these were from the third season. I have a bunch to watch from the fourth season.
In the afternoon I started making the last magic ball for my shawl. I have put all the yarn of the type for babies into the ball. This is really the third ball I have made. I don’t think it will be enough, which leaves me with a conundrum. Should I buy more yarn to finish it (thereby changing it from a scrap project to something else) or just let it lie until I have leftovers that would fit the bill? I must think on….
I went downstairs to start on dinner around 5:30 or so. Of course, F phoned me while I was starting prep to say he was on his way. I told him I hadn’t started quite yet and he said he’d be a while due to traffic.
He was back to the house very soon! I did put him to work though. By the time he got back, I had all the veggies prepared, so I just had to cut up the meat. I did that and got him to help me brown it. He browned the meat while I cut the second block. Last night at the store, they didn’t have the precut curry meat, so we bought two blocks and I cut them.
I took over the cooking after a bit and let him have a rest. He did come back and help with other things before the meal, and we were able to start eating just before 7 pm I think. We had curry and rice with salad and it was good. F had picked the curry roux and it was a little spicy. He had seconds without even asking, K didn’t, but I had seconds on the curry but not rice. Happily, there is enough leftover for tomorrow night too.
F washed the dishes and I dried them tonight. After that, he actually cleaned the stove. I was almost impressed about that.
We didn’t go anywhere tonight. I didn’t need any groceries and F didn’t feel like going out. It’s fine, we aren’t supposed to anyway.
Upstairs, I noticed that there was an old Angelina Jolie/Denzel Washington movie on so put that on. We both watched it. I did some crochet during it, so that was nice. I’d seen it before, yonks ago, but it was quite good. After it finished, Sliver with Sharon Stone came on. I watched it but took a shower in the middle. It was as dumb as I remembered.
After the movie ended, I turned off the telly. It wasn’t a bad evening at all. I do wish that F was feeling better. He seems to have his annual upset stomach and neck problems in full force right now. He’s in pain and quite grumpy at times.
Anyway, that’s it for me. No idea what I’ll get up to tomorrow. Come back later and see. Until tomorrow….
