Saturday - Hot and Sunny
I woke up this morning a bit early but went back to sleep until my alarm went off. I got up, dressed and got ready to go to our doctor's appointment. We managed to get there on time and then we had to wait. And wait. Honestly, we didn’t get seen for an hour. Sigh. I know he’s busy but it does seem ridiculous. It did give me enough time to finish my book, which I was happy about!
While we were waiting in the pharmacy we started talking about lunch. I was using Google Maps and F asked me about a place in Mikawa. It sounded good so I said yes. F said that he’d call from the car to see if we could get in. I needed a pitstop so we went to a grocery store. I used the washroom, then bought us some drinks. However, when I got back to the car, F said that the restaurant was really busy, so we couldn’t go there. Oh dear. I suggested our favourite restaurant in Mikawa, Bistrot des Pointes so F called them. They were happy to have us come. F let them know that we were on the way, but wouldn’t be there for a while.
We got to the restaurant and had a lovely meal there. We both had the beef steak and it was great. The only thing we had that was different was the dessert. I had a sakuranbo clafoutis and F had a rice pudding/cake thing. Lunch was great and we really enjoyed it.
We came back to Tsuruoka and back to the house. I went upstairs and took a nap with the AC on. It was 30 degrees in the room. Yuck.
I asked F when he came up to the room which show he’d like to go to. I thought he’d like to go to the late show like usual, but he chose an earlier showing. That meant that we had to get started immediately. We went out and bought K a bento for her dinner, and then dropped it off. We next went to a drugstore so that F could get some cold medicine and I could get more throat candy. Then, we drove out to the mall.
We bought our tickets at the mall early and then as we had a little bit of time, we went to the bibinba kiosk and ordered the same thing. We both had the pork kimchi and it was nice. It was so hot it was hard to eat, temperature-wise, not spice-wise.
We went to see The Watchers and it was okay. It wasn’t a great film, and I probably won’t remember it forever, but it was mildly entertaining and thought-provoking. I did expect a little more though.
After the movie, we came back to Tsuruoka. I asked F if we could go somewhere for me to get something with protein. Bibinba is mostly rice and I had a ton of popcorn, so I wanted something else. Unfortunately, there wasn’t anything I wanted at the convenience store…why does he always stop at 7-11? I really dislike that store! He did offer to take me to another place as well, but I said not to bother.
Back in the house, we had a quiet evening. F went to bed and relaxed, I stayed up and watched YouTube and then the new Canadian drama, The Spencer Sisters. It wasn’t fabulous! I’ve read that it doesn’t get better, but I might watch it next week to see how it is.
Since midnight I’ve been watching YouTube and trying to get sorted for going to bed. This blog is nearly done and then I’ll be going to bed!
I’m not sure what I’ll be getting up to tomorrow. F has a meeting in the afternoon and apart from that, I’m not sure. Come back later if you like and hear all about my day. Until tomorrow….
