Tuesday - Cloudy and then rainy
I fell asleep easily last night because I was so tired. I also didn’t hear F when he left in the morning. My alarm woke me up, I went downstairs and then came back upstairs. I watched some of the news and then did a bit of a snooze thing. I woke up later and decided to do laundry. I sorted out my stuff and was in the process of taking it downstairs when I heard the washing machine going. Oh, dear. K was doing laundry. I put my basket back in the room.
I had a quiet afternoon and stayed in my room for the most part. However, something odd happened after I finished eating lunch. The power went off! It flickered and then went off. It was off for almost an hour! K called me down to see if I knew what had happened, but I didn’t at that time. I had sent F a text to see if he had paid the electricity bill, and he looked into it for me. There was a power outage over the whole area, about 500 houses were involved.
The power came on back before 4 pm so I was able to watch the news. Yay for that. I’m not really sure what the problem was, but a lot of homes were affected.
Around 6 pm I went downstairs to start dinner. Tonight I was making tandori chicken and an eggplant stir-fry. I got the tandori chicken marinating fairly quickly and worked on cutting all the veggies up. That took a while. F came back when I was done so I had to get dinner underway.
It turned out well, but we didn’t eat until nearly 8 pm. K even came into the kitchen looking for her dinner. I hate it when she does that. If she’d offer to help it would be one thing, but she doesn’t!
Anyway, we ate soon after. F had a little bit of chicken and then some of his own stuff. He even had two helpings of rice tonight which did surprise me.
I did the dishes afterwards. It took a while, but now that I’m listening to Persuasion, I didn’t mind too much.
I went upstairs when I was done and relaxed for a bit. F and I had a fun chat and I felt so much better afterwards. I’ve been feeling draggy all day today.
We went out to MaxValu and did a bit of grocery shopping. F only had a bit of money so I tried to keep to the essentials. I’m not sure if I succeeded. Anyway, tomorrow I plan to make quesadillas and some kind of egg and shrimp dish on Thursday. Wish me luck!
We came back to the house, put the food away and we came upstairs. F did the YouTube thing before falling asleep and I watched something on TV. I’m yawning away so I really should get to bed soonish.
Come back later if you will and hear all about my Wednesday. Until tomorrow….
