Thursday - Hot and Sunny
For some reason, this didn't post when it should have. Apologies to anyone who missed me!
I woke up before my alarm this morning. The room was hot, too hot already. It was something like 28 degrees at 8:00am. Awful. I got up, opened a window and then went downstairs.
When I came back, I watched the news I had taped and somehow ended up falling asleep. I didn’t wake up until 10:30 or thereabouts. I was stunned. The room was sweltering. The thermometer said that it was 30 degrees and I was really sweating. I grabbed my breakfast and when I came back upstairs I turned on the AC. It was necessary today.
I had a pretty good morning into afternoon. I watched RBG, which was a documentary about Ruth Bader Ginsburg. It was quite interesting and I liked the fact that she was in it and giving her opinions and speaking. She’s brilliant.
I had my lunch and then since I had some time watched an episode of Downton Abbey. It was so good. Mary was a cow again…it was the one where she tells Bertie about Edith’s….well, I don’t want to spoil it for you, but Mary was awful. Lots of other things happened too of course and in the end, Mary married her handsome beau, so she’s all smiley now.
After the 4 pm news and a little longer break, I went downstairs to start on dinner. Tonight was my Izakaya night, which basically meant that I didn’t have a theme to the dinner, I just made a few dishes and put them out for people. We had sautéed spinach with ham, bean salad, salad, couscous, spicy cucumber, yakitori (with pork not chicken) and F made us some gyoza from the freezer. They were curried flavour and I really liked them.
Sadly, F wasn’t feeling well and had to leave and go upstairs so I ended up doing the dishes. However, I’d done a bunch earlier and F had washed a bunch too, so it really wasn’t all that bad. I did have to wash the fish grill thing as that was where I cooked the meat.
I went upstairs when I was done and stripped off my soaking wet clothes. I am sweating so much right now that it is a little scary. After a few minutes, we went out to get some groceries.
I had hoped that we’d go to the grocery store that we usually go to, but it was a bit late when we left here. We went to the 24 hour one.
Shopping was fine. F has booked dinner for K and me tomorrow night, so I don’t have to cook. Yay. I needed stuff for lunch and we needed some bread since we finished it. It wasn’t a big deal or anything. Oh, and batteries! We bought batteries.
We came back to the house and both of us took showers. I went first, then F a lot later. I watched a little YouTube and then started to blog.
Tomorrow night I’ll be doing the K thing by myself. I hope she remembers that F is away. In the past, she’s asked me to phone him to come home when it is 9 pm! I just laughed, but tomorrow he’s going to be in Sakata meeting friends.
That’s it for me. Come back later if you like and find out what I get up to as a solo gal on Friday. Until tomorrow….
