Saturday - Cloudy and rainy
We slept in this morning, well, I did anyway! F was using his computer in bed when I woke up so he’d probably been up for ages.
He fed his mother and then we had a bit of a thing about whether we would go out or not. I really didn’t care one way or the other, but I did need to eat something. Breakfast sounded good to me.
We didn’t really set a place. I did a Facebook search for a restaurant and found what looked like an updated address for an old favourite. We decided to drive and see if we could find it. F thought it was near Ginza-dori, so we drove there but didn’t find it. I wonder if it is a real thing or not. Sometimes restaurants get made up I think. I suggested the other Indian restaurant, but on the way there, F suggested another place. We realized that neither of us meant the same place. I ended up winning this one as we went to Recolte. It’s an Italian/French restaurant. It’s a little pricy but quite nice.
Now, I had really been needing some pasta today, so I had that. I had fresh pasta with a lemon cream sauce. It had baby clams in it too. It was so good! F had the fish plate and his looked good too. We both got soup and salad with it and F paid extra so we could get a nicer dessert. Oh, and we each had an iced coffee. It really was a lovely meal. It is too bad that it is a touch expensive and the parking isn’t great.
Neither of us had any plans for after lunch, so we ended up coming back to the house. F vegged, I watched the end of Batman Begins and then The Dark Knight. Just after it finished, F started asking me about going out for dinner. We talked about places and I finally suggested going to Sashimiya and taking K with us. F liked the idea so I asked him to call and make sure that we could go. Recently when we’ve tried to go, they’ve been fully booked. He called and it was fine. They’d even save us a private room. Yay.
We went to Sashimiya and we all had the same basic thing, a tuna and chopped tuna bowl. It came with miso soup too. F ordered the omelet (I wish he wouldn’t, it isn’t that good) and an order of fried chicken. K piped up later that she’d like some boiled in foil squid, so we had that too. Everything disappeared and we all enjoyed our meal.
On the way back to the house, F asked if I’d like to go to the beach tonight. I said sure if I could change first. So, that’s what I did. I put on pants that I could roll up the hems and wore my sandals. The two of us drove down the coast and tried to find a parking space, but they were either blocked off or full. On the way back, he pulled into a place that is usually paid parking in summer and we parked the car.
We got out of the car and sat on the steps near the beach. There were a lot of groups on the beach and they were letting off fireworks. It was kind of cool to watch them all from a probably safe distance. We talked about walking to the shore, but I don’t know this part of the beach well, and it was very dark. Also, with all the fireworks going off, it was probably safer not to go at all!
I did ask that we go to a convenience store for a drink on the way back, which we did. We got the conbini’s own brand of frappes, chocolate mint. I really enjoyed mine, F complained about the chunks of chocolate blocking his straw!
We came back to the house where I took a shower and then watched a little bit of TV from the DVR. I recorded a couple of movies that I want to rewatch over the next few days and I need a lot of space!
So that was it. It’s so late right now and I really should be getting to bed soon. Come back later if you like and see how Sunday goes. Until tomorrow….
