Thursday - Hot and sunny, muggy
F woke me up again this morning but I fell back asleep almost immediately. When I did wake up I was cold! F had turned on the AC and since the room was in its smallest configuration, I was freezing! I got up, turned off the AC and then proceeded with my usual day.
I watched the news and ended up having a snooze. It wasn’t planned, it just happened! I went downstairs at 10:30 and started on dinner. I took some chicken drumsticks, peeled the skin off them and then marinated them in my tandori mixture. I stuck them back in the fridge for later.
I went upstairs and watched some stuff on YouTube for a bit. I did some internet stuff and then came downstairs to get lunch for myself. While I was downstairs, I gave K a drink, and I suggested that she turn on the AC. She refused. She did have the fan on to her credit, but I think she really should have used the AC. I gave her a freezie pop thing too, trying to keep her hydrated and cool.
When I brought my food upstairs I decided to watch the last episode of Downton Abbey. It was wonderful. All happy endings and love and babies and good things like that! I even cried a bit at the end.
After 5:30 I went downstairs to start dinner. I washed dishes first and then prepared some carrots for steaming, then grilled the chicken. F came back here just before the grilling started and we had a nice reunion. He went upstairs and I texted him a couple of times! He came down and when the chicken was cooked, we ate.
Dinner was really nice! Most of the chicken and carrots disappeared, and it got good reviews. Halfway through dinner, F said he’d like to go to the onsen with his mother and I was a bit annoyed. That usually means I don’t get any help in the kitchen afterwards.
K and I kept eating a bit, and F disappeared…to the kitchen. He washed a bunch of the dishes, bless him. He didn’t do them all of course as many were still on the table, but it was a big help and I told him so.
F and K left and I got stuck into the dishes. I listened to some podcasts and it all got done. I even washed the grill and made more tea for tomorrow.
I came upstairs and basically stripped! I was quite wet from the sink edge and such. I put on a lounging dress and relaxed for a bit.
I had a fairly quiet evening until F and K came back. Later on, I watched the new Nathan Fillion show, The Rookie. It has potential, I hope it keeps it up. It isn’t instantly a favourite like Castle was though.
And, that’s about it. It was a quiet day today, but times were quite busy. Tomorrow I’m cooking dinner again, but I’m going to be doing pasta and shrimp. I haven’t decided if I should do cold pasta or not. Today has been so hot. In one of the suburbs of Tsuruoka, the temperature reached 39.1 degrees Celsius. That is really hot. Here it was a mere 36, which was blooming well hot enough for me!
Come back later if you like and see what’s happening with me. Until tomorrow….
