Saturday - Cloudy but warmish
F left early this morning and I slept on. I did get up a little after 10 am and checked my computer, F came back sometime after 11 I think. He wanted to go for lunch immediately. Groan. With his mother. Double groan. He did suggest a place that I had never been before so I was willing to go there. Woot. Unfortunately, the place was a tatami mat place but the food was good. I did enjoy the food, but not the floor.
We brought K back to the house, took a quick break to get a few things, and then we took off. F and I went driving by some of the ports. He wanted to go fishing today and hoped to checked out the ports first. We drove along the ocean and did stop in a couple of places and had a snoop around. At Yura we walked across the bridge and looked around a little. It was really nice.
I told F that I was thirsty and asked for some money to use the vending machine. I’d left my wallet in the car. He suggested going to a nearby bakery to have coffee and cake. It sounded nice so I said sure and didn’t visit the vending machine. When we got to the bakery, they don’t serve coffee and cake in the store anymore due to everyone’s favourite Covid19. Darn. We decided to go to somewhere in Tsuruoka.
We went to Aomoriya, a cafe with an attached fruit shop. We had coffee or tea and a piece of tart each. It was very nice. I had a fig and grape tart, F had grape and blueberry tart. While we were there, I told F that I wanted to go to the mall. We also discussed dinner and F wanted to do a nabe for dinner. First one of the season….okay then.
I spent some good time in the hundred yen shop, then we went down to the grocery store. F got his ingredients for his nabe and then we went back to the house. He made up his nabe, but waited for a while to cook it as we weren’t hungry yet.
When we heard K banging around downstairs he decided it was dinner time. I sent him off and said I’d come later. Of course I arrived in time to help with putting glasses out for drinks, etc.
The nabe was okay. It wasn’t as horrible as some of his have been. The soup we bought today was okay, but I thought the nabe needed salt.
After dinner and dessert, I decided to do unto F what he’s been doing to me forever. I buggered off to the toilet and then went upstairs. I thought that fair’s fair. I never get any help, why should I help him? I did decide that I’d go down and help dry dishes. I heard some noise from downstairs and went down. Unfortunately, F wasn’t in the kitchen when I got there. I made some new tea for tomorrow and F came in and almost immediately went out again. We had a few words, he took off upstairs. I went upstairs a few minutes later and there he was in bed. We had a few more words and the upshot was that I got to wash the dishes. Oh joy! I washed them, but I didn’t dry them.
I had hoped to go out tonight but F was still in bed when I got upstairs. He was still feeling sick apparently. I watched some TV and took a shower and tried to make the best of it.
I’m not sure what we’ll get up to tomorrow. I hope that things go well and that F is feeling better as I’m tired of all of the palaver!
That’s it for me for tonight. Come back later if you like and find all about my Sunday. Until tomorrow….
