 Wednesday - Sunny and warmish, some rain

I woke up earlier this morning and went downstairs. I came back upstairs, turned on the water pot and the TV, watched the news and snoozed a little bit. 

I got up and started a load of laundry downstairs. I decided to make myself breakfast too, so went into the kitchen. F came back to the house for a few minutes. I made myself some very yummy porridge in the microwave. It’s easy to do, but I have to pay careful attention to it so it doesn’t boil over. I’ve had that happen and it is hard to clean up afterwards!

While I ate, there was a kerfuffle on Facebook in my women’s group. I won’t go into details, but feelings had been hurt and some of us complained and suggested that the moderators get involved.

I did another load of laundry and then watched a bit of TV. I went downstairs to get my lunch, then I came back upstairs and ate. I put on last night’s movie, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. Even though it was quite an old film, I hadn’t seen it before! I’m not really sure why. It was a basic rom-com, but it was quite cute. Afterwards, I switched over to the news.

F called around 5:30 and then I went downstairs to get started on dinner. I was making curry tonight, so I got stuck in on it. I had almost all of the vegetables cut up before F came back. He woke his mother up and made her get up.  I tried to make the curry quickly.

Finally, things were ready. I put the salad and the curry and rice out on the table and called F. He took a long time to come down. I had everything ready and then we had a nice meal. The curry was pretty good and there is oodles left for tomorrow night. I even gave us dessert tonight. I had bought a spice cake a few weeks ago and served up a couple of pieces of it. It was a little dry, so we put a dab of milk on it.

F and K went off to the onsen tonight so of course, I got to do the dishes. I listened to a couple of podcasts and got it done by taking my time.

I went upstairs and relaxed for a bit. When F came back I went downstairs and did up the garbage to go out tomorrow morning and emptied out some of the food from the fridge. K had put a lot of food in there on Saturday but hadn’t eaten it yet. I threw it out. It was bento food, so I had no idea how old it was and I don’t think it would be very good yet.

I took a shower and then came back upstairs and watched New Amsterdam. 

And that was my day. I was fairly busy, especially in the evening. Tomorrow I have to finish my nengajo as I need to get them in the mail by Friday. I’d prefer tomorrow night personally.

Come back later if you want and hear all about my Thursday. Until tomorrow….
