Saturday - Clear with a bit of rain
We both went to bed terribly late last night. In fact, I was actually in bed before F last night and I probably fell asleep before him since he was still on his computer when I started to nod off.
This morning, I was rudely awakened at 9 am when F’s phone rang! It was WOWOW wanting to help us set up the On Demand system. Bless them, but so early for us when we didn’t go to bed until virtually 5 am. F asked them to call back later as we weren’t in the same room as the TV or something like that!
We both got up and I went over to the TV and updated the app on my Fire Stick. The person from WOWOW did call back at 10ish and F went through all the things necessary to get signed up. When he was done, I signed up the Fire Stick and lo and behold! We have WOWOW on demand! Woot. It’s basically another streaming platform, but we don’t pay extra for it as it is part of regular WOWOW. Unless they change it in the future!
I went back to bed a little after 11 am and ended up sleeping for two more hours. F asked me around 1 pm if I’d like to have lunch soon and I woke up and got up.
We checked that K was okay, she had some food left from yesterday that she didn’t eat and then we went out. I suggested going to Kissa Marina again and F was okay with that. We got a table and ordered. I had curry pasta, my usual there and F had ginger pork. We were both quite pleased with our meal, but I was given a dirty fork in the beginning. Yikes. I think it had been through a dishwasher, but still. F gave me his fork since he was using chopsticks so it wasn’t a big deal. We gave it back to the waitress later and she looked suitably shocked!
After lunch, we decided that we’d go out to the mall in Mikawa. We thought we’d go out to Aeon and then maybe visit Don Qihote. We went to Aeon, I looked at yarn but didn’t buy anything. I don’t know if they did a New Year thing this year or not, but it is too late to find out now. I did go and look at purses and ended up buying myself a new purse. I got the same kind that I usually buy, a convertible backpack/purse. I like to be hands-free when I shop. F very nicely bought it for me!
We went downstairs and bought some more masks, we got the kind that is good for wearing with glasses. After that, we went to get coffee. On the way, we stopped at a bookstall. F found a book he wanted and went off to pay for it. I stayed at the stall until he came back. It was funny, I saw F go by a few rows away from me and I wondered if he knew where he was going! I lost sight of him for a minute and then I saw him in another area of the store. I moved closer and waved! He finally saw me and looked really relieved. Why can’t he ever find me? I’m a big foreign lady with grey hair…I dunno!
We went over to Mr Donut and had drinks and doughnuts. I got F to sit down as I think he was getting tired from walking around. He used a cane today, very dapper of him! We had a nice time in the store and relaxed for a while.
We decided we didn’t need to go to Don Qihote so we just drove back to Tsuruoka. We stopped at a grocery store to pick up a bento for K. We brought it back to the house and gave it to her. We had to wake her up as she was in bed again. She’s been spending most of the day in bed which isn’t good for her of course.
F and I went out for dinner. He suggested going to Nagomi, my favourite soba place and I was fine with that. However, when we drove there, the place was dark. They weren’t open tonight. Oh, dear. I suggested going to Kappa Sushi instead. It’s keiten sushi but not as bad as some places. Of course, it isn’t as good as some places either! F was okay with that. We were able to get right in and ordered a few different types of sushi. We also had some fries and onion rings. The fries came with mayo and rai-yu, a spicy oil. That was a nice surprise. It was really good. The onion rings were okay, but not great. The sushi was okay. I stopped eating before F did!
We paid and then came back to the house. We had a fairly quiet evening. I watched something on WOWOW On Demand, the first episode of Yellowjackets. It was quite interesting! It had some good actors in it too.
I watched (and recorded) FBI at 11 pm. Unfortunately, when it was finished I had no idea how to delete it from the DVR so I had to ask F to show me! I had the old remote and tried to guess from it how to delete it, but I wasn’t able to figure it out. F took a minute to do it too. He had to get the guidebook out so I didn’t feel too dumb!
I watched a bunch of YouTube videos afterwards and wrote this blog entry. F is sleeping and I want to get some sleep too.
I’m not completely sure what we’ll get up to tomorrow. Please come back if you feel like it and read about my day. Until tomorrow….
