Sunday - Warm and Sunny
I woke up this morning quite early, made a trip downstairs and then went back to bed for a while. F came back to bed too and I didn’t wake up again until he sprang up in bed to get the door. My suitcase had arrived. Yay. Despite me telling him NOT to bring it upstairs…I didn’t want him to damage his knee even more…he did. He has his moments! I still haven’t opened it though. I’ll do that tomorrow and get some laundry done too I think.
F suggested going to a soba restaurant, one that neither of us had been to before. I really didn’t feel in the mood for soba, I wanted something lighter for lunch, and preferably not Japanese. However, he was getting his knickers in a knot again, so I agreed to go. I wasn’t very gracious about it. F called and made a reservation and then we started to go. Except, he couldn’t find his wallet. Seriously? He spent about 10 minutes looking for it and couldn’t. I told him that if lunch was under ¥5000 I’d pay for it and he could pay me back later.
We drove off to find this restaurant. F was too busy pontificating on something and turned too soon. I half-thought he had, but he wouldn’t listen to me. We got to the restaurant and were shown into a fake tatami room with a table and chairs. Whew! It had a plastic barrier in the middle of the table and F took it upon himself to move it to the end of the table. Where it promptly fell apart as it was longer than the width of the table. I just rolled my eyes.
Lunch was surprisingly (for me) good. We both had soba with chicken gobo soup and shared an order of chicken tempura which was very good. We came back to Tsuruoka after I paid and back to the house. I was shattered. I was tired and F was just being annoying. He was worried about his wallet. I went to bed and tried to nap a little.
F found his wallet finally and did pay me back. We decided to go out fairly soon after that. I wanted to buy groceries and get that chore out of the way. We went to the grocery store and I bought a few things. F insisted on coming in the store with me so I had to carry the groceries and keep up with him and put up with him getting in my way and such. We bought the groceries and took them back to his house. I unpacked the bag and then we went out again.
We didn’t do too much then. We tried to go to Machi-kine to see a rummage sale, but sad to say, the things on display weren’t things that I’d actually want to buy. After that, we decided to go to Mcdonald's for a drink. We went to one and had a bit of downtime for a while. We both had drinks and I had a flurry too.
When we left, we tried to order K a nice bento for dinner but the company said they were busy. They suggested that we show up and they’d make it when we were there. We did, and very quickly F was back in the car and we were off to the house.
F gave her the bento and then the two of us were off on the road. We went out to Mikawa to see CODA.
When we arrived, F had to have some food. We got our tickets. F surprised me by wanting to sit quite far back in the theatre. He’s on crutches, I would have thought he’d want to sit near the front. Nope.
While he was finishing up his food, I went and bought the popcorn and drinks. He joined me and we went in. Before I went to the washroom, F gave me back the money for the drinks and popcorn. That rather annoyed me because I have a thing against getting money from him in public. I’m just not sure why he does that.
Anyway, the movie was great! F really liked it, as I knew that he would. We both had a good time. The only bad thing for me was that the ASL was subtitled in Japanese and not English. However, I was able to read a few words here and there AND I had read that originally the film wasn’t subtitled at all, so I figured that I was seeing it almost as intended!
After the movie, we left the theatre and happily F did a wallet/key check before we got far. F couldn’t find his wallet. Ack. We asked for permission to go back in and look for it. F found it under his seat. Yikes. Glad he checked.
We left the mall and went back to Tsuruoka. F wanted to go to a gyudon shop for dinner but I said no. I really didn’t want Japanese food. I suggested a Chinese restaurant. We tried to go, but they had already closed for the night. We ended up going to the Thai restaurant. We haven’t been there in years, but it was nice! They were quite busy tonight but welcomed us in. F ordered Thai-style ramen and I had Thai-style yakisoba. It was huge but really nice!
After our dinner, we paid up and came back to the house. We had a quiet evening in. At 11 I watched a show I just found, Superman and Lois and then ended up watching the end of Perfume. It’s such a weird little movie, but I love it.
And that was my day. It was an odd one. F and I are fine, he’s had a bad pain day and took some medicine. It always seems to make him more forgetful than usual. I’m missing my holiday and being on my own. It’s hard for me to come back to “real life” where I have to get on with other people!
Tomorrow I have to do laundry I hope, cook dinner and probably clean up the kitchen. Ack.
Come back later if you like and hear all about my day. Until tomorrow….
