Sunday - Cooler and rainy

I slept in this morning, and it was wonderful! I got myself up before my deadline and checked on my computer and such. I started to get dressed, little by little!

F came back into the room and basically went back to bed. I was a little perturbed. Finally, around 12:50 he started asking me if I wanted to go out for lunch. He always does this, waits until the last moment, it is so annoying. 

After a bad minute where I kind of yelled at F and told him I needed a minute. I was watching some YouTube videos and wanted to finish the one I was watching. 

We finally decided that we’d try a restaurant in Foodever, so we got in the car and drove there. F parked the car, and we went down in the elevator. However, the restaurant had already closed. Sigh. Well, there were some other restaurant stalls open, so we split up. F went to a donburi restaurant and I went to the meat restaurant and had pasta. It was really great. It took a little while to arrive, but it was very nice.

After lunch, we tried to go to the Art Forum but we couldn’t get any parking. The handicapped section was full and so was the regular section.  I told F that we should just come back later. Happily, he finally agreed with me.

We went to do our grocery shopping. F stayed in the car and I went inside. I got most of the things I needed I think. Tomorrow and the next day I’ll be making chicken or a pork stir-fry. I hope it’ll go well. 

We made a quick stop at the house to drop off the groceries. F didn’t get out of the car, I thought he was going to but no! 

When I put things away I went outside again and we tried going to the Art Forum again. Success! We were able to get a good parking spot for F. It was raining so I brought my umbrella and locked it in the holder at the door.  We were able to go in and see the fans.  The exhibit celebrated the local silk production and the 400th anniversary of the local area’s lord.  I was really impressed that there was good English on the signs. Usually, there is no English at all so this was nice.  After we finished with the fans, we went upstairs and saw a stained glass exhibit. It was by a local group. Some of the work was really nice, but some of it wasn’t to my taste.  

I *think* the one in the front represents asparagus!

I *think* the one on the left is called Red Round.
Although this exhibit celebrates the local silk industry, 
many of these fans are made from cotton!

We came back to the house via another grocery store. We decided to get K a bento for her dinner. F always forgets that she needs to eat!  He feeds her early and then wants to make her wait really late for her next meal. I don’t think that is fair at all. 

I had to wait for quite a while for my next meal, but that was okay. I wasn’t too hungry. Finally, around 7 we decided to go out. I suggested Gusto because it was cheapish and not too stressful. F was okay with it. 

We went there and had an okay meal. F had some kind of yakisoba and I had chicken with vegetables. Mine was okay, but nothing too special. I got F his soup and drinks. 

After the meal we just came back to the house. There isn’t much to do at that time of night anyway. At the house, I watched another episode of Bad Sisters on AppleTV+ and really enjoyed it. I gotta say that if JP was my BIL, I’d want to kill him too!

I turned off the TV then and turned on some YouTube. I watched my usual stuff and now I’m watching what is supposed to be Canada’s Top 40 for this week. I haven’t heard a lot of these songs, but that isn’t surprising. 

And that’s where I am now. I should get myself off to bed and get some sleep. F is still awake which worries me as he has to drive for work in the morning. 

So, come back later if you are up to it and find out what I get up to on Monday. I bet it’ll be quite boring! Until tomorrow….
