Saturday - Sunny but cloudy and coolish
I slept in quite late this morning. F got up early but came back to bed a bit later. We finally got up and started moving around noon. We talked about where to go for lunch and we both had the same idea, a place we haven’t gone to in ages. They have a fish-based lunch and I thought F might like that.
We got dressed and left the house. When we got to the restaurant, they were closed. Oh no! I wonder if it is a Covid thing or they just needed a break. It is run by older people.
After we got back in the car, F took us on a little drive-around. I had no idea where he was going and to be honest, I don’t think he had either. He started looking for a restaurant, but was in the wrong area! We found one, but I suggested another place instead. It was a little bit expensive, but the food was really good.
We were able to be seated fairly soon and ordered. It took quite a while for us to get our food, but it was very nice when it arrived. We had Yamagata Beef donburi with miso soup, salad and some kimchi. We added on coffee for a hundred yen each.
After lunch, we headed back to Tsuruoka. F wanted to go to a hardware shop, so we headed over to the MaxValu area. We went to the hardware shop and picked up some sellotape, a box cutter and a box of K’s favourite drink.
We came back to the house. I spent time upstairs while F replaced the paper on some of the shoji downstairs. I’m glad that he did some “house” type stuff today.
Around 5:30 or 6:00 pm he made dinner for his mother. We weren’t hungry yet, so we waited for a while.
Around 8:30 I suggested that we think about dinner. F put forth a couple of restaurants and they were fine with me. We also thought about trying the new udon place and ended up going there. It is fairly cheap.
We went to the new udon restaurant. I ordered a kind of udon that I hadn’t had before. The guy told me something about the sauce when he rang it up. I thought F was listening and understanding. I didn’t quite understand it. I went to the table with the soup dispenser and asked F if I was supposed to put some on my udon. He said yes…and then when I turned on the tap…I got the bowl half full and he said that I wasn’t supposed to use that stuff. Ack!
It wasn’t a huge deal, but a bit annoying. We had an okay meal and I said to F that on the way back to the house I’d like to stop into a convenience store. He humoured me!
We went to the convenience store, picked up a few things and came back to the house. We ate our ice cream first of course and then relaxed for a bit. I took a shower and then came back upstairs and watched a bit of TV. I rather enjoyed the shows I watched!
And that’s about it for me. I’ve been watching a bit of YouTube and blogging since then. I have no idea what is going to happen tomorrow. F and I haven’t made any plans yet. I would like to do some shopping so we’ll see what happens.
Come back later if you like and hear all about my day. Until tomorrow….
