Saturday - Cold and rainy at night

Well, F and I didn’t go to bed until 5 this morning, so we slept in very late. I stayed in bed until 11, F stayed in bed until 3 pm-ish. When he finally dragged himself out of bed, I suggested going out. 

We got some gas for the car, then went over to the MaxValu area. We went to Komeda Coffee and had a light lunch, then we split up. F picked up the cake and I went to the grocery store and started grabbing a few things for dinner. We met up again in the store and F added a few things to the basket. Sadly, there weren’t any chickens, and I couldn’t find too much that looked interesting. I got a chicken steak thing that was okay, but not nearly as impressive as a chicken would be.

We came back to the house and I got to work. I asked F if he wanted to help but he ran away, so I did most of the stuff myself. He did come in at the end and helped a bit, but really I did most of the work.

I plated a bunch of crackers, cheese, cold meats, pates and cut up a bunch of vegetables to have as a “stick salad”. I put some miso and some hummus on each plate to dip them in.  I heated up the chicken and took everything through to the living room.  We had a lovely little feast. 

When we had finished our main part of the meal, I cleared the table and then F was on.  He had made coffee earlier for us, so he served that, and cut the cake. Watching him cut the cake was quite funny. He was so precise…he measured out where he was going to cut and didn’t quite understand when I said that he just had to give me half of it and then him and his mother could share the other half! I had to tell him I was joking!

We finished the cake for the most part tonight. We were supposed to pick it up last night and they are supposed to be eaten within two days, so we kind of had to eat it all. K couldn’t finish her piece, so I put it in the fridge for her. 

I did the dishes and then came upstairs. F, to do him credit, had washed a few dishes earlier and I had also used paper plates for some of our things, so I didn’t have to wash them. I rarely use paper plates so I don’t feel guilty.

We had a quiet evening in. I watched Bull and then later on watched another programme and I put on You’ve Got Mail. I put it on in the background, but I’ve been sucked into it. 

Well, that’s my day. Tomorrow poor F has to work in the evening, so he’ll leave here before 3 pm and won’t get back until 3 am. Then, he’ll have to go back to work on Monday morning. It doesn’t seem fair to me.

We finally had our Christmas meal, just a little late. It was still very nice, so I’m quite happy about it. 

Come back later if you like and hear all about my Sunday. Until tomorrow….
