 Thursday - Cloudy and warm

I went to bed fairly early last night which was a good thing. I slept fairly well, but did wake up a couple of times in the night. I also heard F when he got up, he’s noisy.  I got up before my alarm, had a mini-snooze until my alarm and then was up again.

I got ready for work and left when my taxi arrived. I had a pretty good couple of classes. My first class gave presents to each other and to me too! It was lovely. I got a couple of coasters and some cookies from the students. In the second class, one student gave everyone wagashi, or traditional Japanese sweets. She gave me two so when I came back to the house I gave one to K. Yay me!

Box of cookies.  I didn't photograph the student's name for his privacy.

Beautiful wagashi. I had the sakura one, it was lovely.

I had a fairly quiet afternoon I didn’t have to prepare anymore lessons, so I relaxed. I watched the morning’s news and then I watched an episode of The Walking Dead. Only 9 more to go I think! It was a good episode though.

When F called to say he was on his way back I told him that I was going to make pasta for dinner. I would put the chicken separately and he could choose to have some or not. I pointed out that if he didn’t want chicken, he could have some canned tuna or another fish.  

I went downstairs and started to get things ready. I did a big salad, cut up some beets, washed some tomatoes, and cooked the chicken and pasta. I got things on the table fairly quickly after F came back. 

We had a pretty good meal. The pasta sauce was butter garlic flavoured and it was better than I expected. The chicken worked well with it too. Most of the food disappeared. 

I got to do the dishes of course too. Surprisingly though, K actually tried to help me by gathering the empty plates on the table. It was greatly appreciated to be honest. As I washed and dried the dishes, I listened to Pride and Prejudice again. It’s so good. 

I went upstairs and finished my paperwork, then F came upstairs. I gave us each a cup of tea and one of the cookies from my student. We both did the YouTube thing, but then I watched a bit of TV at 11pm. 

And, basically, that was my day. Tomorrow I have one evening class, but I also have F hanging around. He’s take the day off again. He promised me that he’d drive me to work tomorrow so that’s good! 

Come back later if you will and hear all about my Friday. Until tomorrow….
