Wednesday - Hot, humid, but a tad cooler than yesterday

F was noisy again this morning, but I didn’t wake up all the way. I woke up with my alarm and was a tad surprised that it was time again. 

I had a long and relaxing morning and then started to do some laundry. I did three loads, but it was great to get it done. 

I got a message from F during the day. He had ordered dinner to be delivered to us tonight. Yay!

I had a nice lunch today. I had a tortilla and wrapped some chicken that I had bought at the convenience store last night. I had a salad and some toast with Costco own brand chocolate/hazelnut spread on it. Yum! I had a muffin too.

I was watching last night’s Killing Eve when I thought I heard something. I listened but didn’t hear it again. Then, something again. I thought maybe K needed me, but I wasn’t sure. I looked out the window and saw a white car parked out on the road. Hmm.  I ran downstairs, just in time to see F’s aunt try to climb in through the big window. Actually, to be fair, I don’t think she was actually trying to climb in, she was calling for K.  I told her I thought K was sleeping, just as K appeared.  I left the two of them alone to have their chat. 

I came downstairs around 5:30 to wash my dishes and got a call from F. He said that he was only now on his way back to the house and if he wasn’t back before the delivery guy arrived, would I pay him?

I said I would. I had the feeling this might happen so was prepared for it!

I did tell K that we were going to have bentos tonight, so when she saw the car stop outside, she let me know.  I paid, he left the stuff. It looked amazing.

I put everything on the table and got the water on to make up the soup. F came in just about 3 minutes later and he was happy to see the stuff was here.  He also paid me back, which I was much happier about!

We had a lovely meal. Tonight we had grilled unagi on rice with chawanmushi and clear soup. (Unagi is eel if you didn’t know…it is thought to help us survive the long hot summer.) When we finished that, we all had a Bocca pudding from Costco. It was a white pudding and came with a caramel sauce. It was the first time we’ve had those and they come in what looks like a balloon. We have to pop the balloon and then pour on the sauce They were very nice!

F and I did the dishes tonight. There weren’t that many that needed washing, so it didn’t take long. Oh, wait…while I was clearing the table tonight, I noticed that F’s phone was ringing. It turns out that a good friend of his from a long time ago will be in our city tomorrow to see the aquarium. I think we’re going to meet up. 

We came upstairs and had a quiet evening. Both of us took showers, and I watched the finale of Project Runway and also Grey’s Anatomy. I enjoyed both. 

So that is about it. Tomorrow I may be out for a while in the morning, not sure how long his friend and wife will stay around Tsuruoka. I think they are going to an onsen in the next prefecture tomorrow. 

Come back later if you like and hear all about what happens. Until tomorrow….
