Friday - Warm and sunny

I woke up fairly early this morning, before my alarm. I got up and went downstairs. I came back upstairs and went back to bed. Unfortunately, I overslept and got up quite late.  Oops.

I went downstairs, grabbed my late breakfast and came upstairs to eat. I had a quiet afternoon after that. I did a bit of texting in one of my groups, we’re talking about trying to meet up in a couple of months…that would be lovely!

I did think about doing laundry today, but when I opened the washing machine, I discovered that the inside drum was covered with ink. My dear husband must have washed a pen again and it covered the inside of the machine with ink. I did grab a paper towel and tried to damp mop some off, but only a little came off. Sigh. I took some pictures and asked F by text if he would try to clean it tomorrow.  I can’t wash my clothes in the machine right now as I don’t want my clothes covered in blue or black ink. 

I ate lunch around 3 and of course, watched an episode of The Closer. I talked to F on the phone after 5pm and he sounded quite happy and was looking forward to his party!

I went downstairs around 5:50, washed my dishes from the day and got the kitchen ready for our meal to arrive. F had ordered it for us a couple of days before. It arrived within the time that we asked it to and then I got the table set up. I got K out of bed and we had a lovely meal. We both had sushi.  I had salmon and she had tuna. The delivery service comped us some chawan-mushi too, so that was nice. I added in a little dessert at the end too, we had some ice cream, Pino. It was nice and light without being too much. 

I did the dishes afterwards and cleaned up the kitchen. Then, I said goodnight to K and went upstairs.

I relaxed for a while and was on the bed. It was really nice to not have to go anywhere and to just enjoy myself. I watched some short videos on my phone and then before 10pm, I went downstairs to take a shower.

My shower was nice, but right at the end of it, K got up and used the washroom. I managed to sneak upstairs before she came out. 

I decided to watch a movie, but as usual, it took ages for me to pick one. I ended up rewatching a Jason Statham film. I like Jason, even if he’s not a great guy in this film, The Wrath of Man. 

I got a text from F during the film. He’s back in his hotel. I think he had a good night. I’m happy. He doesn’t get to go out too often, so having some “guy time” is nice. 

Well, that’s about it for me. I’m thinking of getting myself to bed fairly soon.  I’m not sure what we’re going to get up to tomorrow. Mikawa doesn’t have any new English movies, I’m not sure if Tsuruoka does or not. I’ll check it out. 

Come back later if you like and hear all about my Saturday. Until tomorrow….
