Wednesday - Rainy, windy, cold and warmer
I woke up this morning and heard F call his office. He took the day off. He’d been having problems with his knees and his muscles, so chose not to go to work today. I snoozed until my alarm went off. I got up and went downstairs before I got dressed and watched the news from the bed. F was napping and I did too. I woke up at my usual time and got up. I checked my email and even did a bit of crochet.
I wasn’t sure what was going to happen today so I just had my own breakfast and after a couple of hours, F asked if I wanted to go for lunch. Never one to turn down a free lunch, I said yes. He wanted sushi, so since the best place we go was already closed for lunch, we went to a keiten sushi chain place. We had an okay lunch. I thought it was fine actually.
F wanted to go to his car dealership today, so we went. His sales guy was with another customer so we had to wait for a while, but as usual, were given drinks to enjoy at the time. Unfortunately, F wasn’t able to get all the things he wanted, but I think it is okay.
We left the dealership and I asked what F wanted to do for dinner. Originally I had planned to cook tonight but I’d rather not if I don’t have to! He said going out was okay, so that’s what we did. We went to a store to pick up a nice bento for K’s dinner and delivered it to the house. We had a hard time parking as F hadn’t cleared the snow away this morning, he left it piled up. During the day, it got wet and also a bit melted, so there was not much traction. He made it, but only just.
We went in, and F woke up his mother and heated up the bento. I took the shopping for him upstairs and then we went out for our dinner. I was fine going for a cheapo dinner tonight, but F suggested going for yakiniku. Okay then! He even called the restaurant to make sure that we could get a table and reserved one for us. We drove over to Togashi’s and went in.
They tried to put us at a tatami table on the floor, but we asked to have the free table beside us instead. After a little checking, it was fine. F is still having knee problems, getting up and down from the floor is hard for him. I just don’t like having to take off my boots so I didn’t want to sit there either.
We had a lovely meal. We had a set platter for 2-3 people, plus added on a kimchi set that was very good. We didn’t have all the side dishes that we usually have and it was enough. We both did have two glasses of oolong tea though!
When we finished eating, we paid and left. We drove back to the house and again, F had problems parking. He made me get out of the car, which I did. I went inside, dropped off my handbag, and then went outside again to do some snow-clearing.
Both F and I cleared a bit of snow. I’m not sure if it’ll be enough as he has to leave in the morning. We did move rather a lot of snow. If he’d cleared the snow the way I do, moving it all out of the way, it probably would have been unnecessary to do this. Oh well.
We had a quiet evening in. I watched a couple of things off the Fire Stick. I caught another episode of Yellowjackets and one of The Scottish Play. The jury is still out on the latter one.
And that basically was my evening. I did a lot of crochet tonight and enjoyed it. My blanket is growing nicely.
Tomorrow morning, bright and early, there are people coming to help get our hot water working again. My husband’s sister is supposed to come as is the plumber and later on her husband. No one has told K yet, so I’m not sure what she’s going to make of having all these people in her house early on!
I’m not terribly happy about it as it is a bit early for me, but I desperately want hot water again, so….I’ll deal with it.
I have to get some sleep. Come back later if you like and hear all about my day and if we actually get hot water! Until tomorrow….
