Thursday - Sunny and warmish
Today was a bit of a strange day. I woke up after F left, or so I thought. I went downstairs and he was just leaving. He didn’t see me. I went back upstairs and back to bed. I set my alarm to wake me up but it didn’t. Sigh.
I got a call from F just as I finally was getting up. He said that he was stopping in for a few minutes. I hurriedly threw on the rest of my clothes and made the bed.
After he left, I went downstairs, took care of a personal chore and then started making soup. Today I was making Bacon and Lentil soup. Prep wise it wasn’t bad, but looking at the recipe’s pictures later, I think I cut everything up too small! It took a while, but I got it done. I set the slow cooker to high and let it get on with its work.
I grabbed my breakfast and went upstairs. Up there I made myself a cup of tea and was surprised that the colour was a bit off. I drank it and it was lukewarm. I’d forgotten that I hadn’t set up my water pot yet and it was still heating up. Yuck. Lukewarm tea is a big no-no from me.
F popped in a bit later in the afternoon too. He seemed to be a bit quiet today. He didn’t stay long, just headed back to work. He told me that he’s taken off next Thursday and Friday from work, two of the days that I’m going to be away. I was a bit surprised as we won’t be together on his days off, but oh well. That’s his decision.
I had a couple of tacos for lunch and they were good. K wasn’t around or I might have tried giving her one.
I went back upstairs and watched more YouTube until the news was due to start. I watched the news and then went downstairs to start the heater in the kitchen. I am trying not to start it so early when it is warmer. There’s a greater chance K will open the door and leave it open if I start the heater early. She doesn’t know that there is a heater in the room.
F called me around 5:30 or so. I went downstairs, did my day’s dishes and then started to get things ready for dinner. I cut and then lightly toasted some bread, buttered it too. I set the table and then put out the soup. I loved it, K said she liked it, but F only had a small bowl of it. He’s got stomach troubles again. The tomatoes in the soup are making me a little itchy, but it isn’t terrible. I had extra soup, but there is a lot leftover. I think we might have to have it tomorrow too. Ha! It’s a really thick soup.
I did the dishes and then said good night to K and came upstairs. F was already in bed. He has a headache and didn’t want to talk to me. He does want to watch and listen to YouTube however, so I’m not sure how bad his headache is.
I watched We Have Always Lived in the Castle and was quite surprised by it. Some of the reviews weren’t great, but I thought it was quite creepy and although I planned to stop it and take my shower, I watched it until the end. F got sucked into it to and we chatted a little about it at the end. He didn’t like it because of the hordes of people, not because of the movie.
I took a shower and then came upstairs again. I started blogging and here I am with you now. I didn’t get to work on my column unfortunately, I and nearly done. I have to do it tomorrow as I won’t have much time on the weekend and it needs to be sent in before Monday.
Come back later if you like and hear all about Friday. Until tomorrow….
