Sunday - Hot and Sunny, muggy
I slept in rather late this morning as it was almost daylight when I went to bed. F was up before me, he made breakfast for his mother, then came back to bed. I finally woke up around 11. When I was awake, F decided to take his mother to the onsen. That was fine with me. I took a shower while they were gone and then I did a personal thing that I’d been putting off when K was in the house.
After I finished, I came back upstairs and vegged out at my computer. They came back after a while and then F and I went out for our lunch. Now, F had already eaten a little with his mother, so I’m not sure why he wanted to eat again, but…. We went to Arpeggio again, just read through my blog and it was a couple of years ago that we went for the first time! F had fish and I had a bacon and egg donburi. It was quite nice.
We went off to Komeda Coffee afterwards and had their cake set. I had the Lemon one which was nice and light. We spent a bit of time there, but F wasn’t feeling well, so we came back to the house. At the house, I relaxed for a while and then around 6 went and had a nap on the bed. It was getting dark when I woke up, and I suggested to F that we think about dinner. He didn’t want to, but I think we all needed to eat something!
We decided to get in bentos from one of the chain places. It is near the gas station—F needed gas for the car. It is also near the Gyomu Supa, the supermarket that sells a lot of foreign foods that I wanted to visit. I figured we could do everything in one fell swoop, and since it is halfway across the city, we could do lots of things in one area and make our trip worth it. Right?
F filled up the car with gas, I walked to Gyomu Supa and started shopping. F was supposed to come and get me if he had time or go directly to the bento place if he didn’t. He didn’t. He came to see me in the store and then I said to him to go and pick up the bentos and then get me afterwards! Oh, and please bring a shopping bag!
He came back but didn’t bring the bag. Luckily, I have my bag all the time, but still. He didn’t believe me when I told him I asked him twice to bring a bag. Once was at the gas station. I got some frozen tortillas, coffee creamer, giant corn and some frozen stuff that makes quick meals for K and me if he’s late or doesn’t want to eat.
We drove back to the house and had our bentos. We also had a bit of a clean out the fridge night as there were a few foods in there that needed eating up.
F and I did the dishes and then we headed out to the grocery store to get things for the next couple of days. I’m going to have a culinary adventure over the next couple of nights! Tomorrow is Tandori Chicken (done in the toaster oven) and Tuesday will be tacos! I hope K is okay with that!
We got to the checkout at the store and F got this pained expression on his face. He’d forgotten his wallet. Sigh. I ended up paying. Usually, I don’t have much money on me, but I had some from the trip! I also got the points on the grocery card. He always hogs them…it is annoying!
We came back to the house, put away the groceries and then came upstairs. F paid me back, with a bit of interest, so woot! F went to bed fairly soon as he was tired, I’m still up but will likely go to bed soon. It has been such a hot day. We had the air conditioner on today, both up here and downstairs for dinner. F is trying to make his mother use it in the summer…she doesn’t like to spend money so sits and suffers. I have the philosophy that if it goes above 30 degrees in the room I’m in, it’s going on!
Tomorrow I have to start my column and do some cooking and maybe even have some of my lovely new tea! Come back later if you like and hear all about my day.
Until tomorrow….
