Saturday - Hot and Sunny, hazy
I went to bed a bit late last night, but nothing too unusual for me. I slept in this morning because I didn’t set an early alarm and I didn’t have to be anywhere early. Yay. However, I did wake up about 5 minutes before the alarm that I did set went off.
F was still out. He’d gone to the onsen and also to the doctor’s office. I got dressed and heated up my kettle and had just made myself a cup of coffee when F appeared. He wanted to leave for lunch right away, but I got him to wait a little while. He suggested going to a restaurant in Amarume. He had gone there with co-workers during the week and I wanted to try it too! He phoned to make a reservation, I suggested making it for noon since we had a half-hour drive to get there. He did. Then he realized that he had to make some food for his mother. Head shake.
We got on the road around 11:30. We got stuck behind a slowpoke and were a little late, but the restaurant wasn’t that busy so it was fine. The meal was nice. I had the Korean-style lunch and F had a more prestigious meal. We added on soft drinks. We also shared our meals and they were good. It wasn’t the best yakiniku I’ve ever had, but it was quite good. After our meal, we did a little looking around the building and then we left and came back to Tsuruoka.
F wanted to get his hair cut, so he planned to do that. He came into S-Mall with me, but I went upstairs and he went to the washroom!
I did a little shopping at the hundred yen shop and then the grocery store downstairs. I was in line for the check-out, but was social distancing. A woman got into line in front of me. Hmm! I made a noise and she moved. I mean, seriously. I was standing just a little back and she should have seen me!
F called me a few minutes later and we agreed to meet at Doutor. While I was waiting for him to arrive, about 10 people went in. Ack! Still, we were able to get a table and I got the drinks for us. We spent a bit of time there and then decided to go grocery shopping. I asked to go to Gyomu Supa, which F was nice enough to agree to help me with. On the way there, we tried to visit the craft shop but discovered it had closed last weekend. Not to worry, they are moving into S-Mall, which is actually more convenient for me!
We did a quick run-through of Gyomu and I picked up a few things. I really wish that F would stay in the car as he never has an opinion when I ask him if he’d like to try something. I end up not getting things that would be very nice to have for our dinners because he just shows no interest.
We came back to the house after our shopping. I put the things away or tried to. F kept getting in my way! It was rather annoying. I went upstairs and spent time on my computer. F came upstairs and napped a little and was on his computer for a while.
Around 7 pm we started talking about where to go for dinner with K. F wanted ramen of course, so I suggested going to the restaurant in Kushibiki. F wouldn’t phone them, so we all bundled into the car and drove out there.
It was a lovely ride. It was still a little light out for most of our drive and it was beautiful. I live in a gorgeous area of Japan.
Sadly, when we arrived at the restaurant it had already closed for the day so we went to Gusto instead. F and I ordered off their special menu and were both pleased with our meals. F had cold ramen with lemon dish and I had a chicken with lemon special that was tasty. I had to do the drinks for everyone as we can’t let K loose on the drink bar and F is still on crutches. It wasn’t a big deal though.
We came back to the house after dinner. I asked F if he’d like to watch a movie from the Fire Stick and he agreed to. We got about half into Long Shot with Charlize Theron and Seth Rogan. I had seen it before, but F hadn’t. F wasn’t able to keep watching as he couldn’t get into a comfortable position. I stopped the movie. I hope we can catch it another time.
I spent the rest of the evening mostly by myself. I watched FBI and then the early morning news. I also watched too much YouTube, but that can’t be helped. Or it can, I just don’t want to stop.
I’m not sure what we’re going to get up to tomorrow. I’m hoping that we have a good day anyway. Come back later if you like and read all about my day. Until tomorrow….
