Monday - Hot and sunny


I slept in this morning. I did get up before 10, but then I went back to sleep for a bit. I woke up with my alarms, but then slept more! It was hot in our room when I got up so I turned on the AC for a bit.


F came upstairs and we talked about going for lunch. F had no ideas today, so I suggested going to Arpeggio. He liked that idea and so we went off to the restaurant. We were able to get seated a few minutes later, and before our dishes arrived we were able to get a table rather than the counter. 


We both had the same meal, the sasami chicken set meal and it was very nice. We even plumped for some coffee after our meal. 


We left the restaurant and then went grocery shopping. I went into the shop and F stayed in the car, which was fine with me. I went a tad over budget, but it wasn’t cause I bought things that I shouldn’t. From there, I asked to go to Gyomu Supa. F was very obliging and drove me there. I went into the shop and got a few things that weren’t so sensible! I got a few snacks and things like that. I did get things like potato salad for the family and some baby cheese for my lunches so it wasn’t all wasteful.


We came back to the house via a nice bakery. They didn’t have much left, so we bought about half of the stuff they had left!  We came back to the house. F disappeared to water the flowers outside and I got to carry three bags of groceries into the house by myself. I sarcastically thanked him for his help and he did have the good grace to apologize!


I put the stuff away and then went upstairs. It was over 31 degrees in our room upstairs so of course I turned on the AC. Of course, I did! 


F came up a few minutes later and didn’t mind that the AC was on. I was surprised about that. We relaxed for a while and then around 7:30, we talked about going for dinner. 


I got redressed and off we went. Our first place was already closed, so we went to the Chinese restaurant near our old apartment. We got a table and looked at the menu. It was hard to order as we had to do it on our phone, which meant that F had to do it. He’s not great with technology. He’s okay and he managed, but it took a while. We ordered some bifun noodles, a beef and garlic scapes dish and some mabo-dofu. We also got a bit of rice too. 


Dinner was good and we both enjoyed it. I think we liked the beef and garlic dish most and it was F’s idea. Well done mate!


We came back to the house after dinner. I had suggested going for kakigori after dinner originally, but we were both too stuffed so we didn’t. 


F turned on the AC in the evening and I was quite glad about that. I was planning to take a shower around 10pm but when I went downstairs with my towels, F was already in the shower. What?! He didn’t say. He didn’t take too long, so I went after him, but he blasted the hot water so it was horribly steamy in the shower room. 


I came upstairs and then decided I’d watch something off the Fire Disk. Originally I planned to watch The Boys or something, but I didn’t want to go too late, so I changed to Wolf Like Me. I hadn’t started the second season before tonight. It was really good. It’s a cute story, but not for kids!


Since midnight I’ve been getting my blogging done and watching some videos on YouTube. 


This has been a bit of a low-key long weekend. It did turn out better than I expected if I’m honest. I’m kind of glad that we didn’t go anywhere or do anything too exciting.  It was nice to have a bit more of a relaxing evening. 


I’m out of here…come back later if you like and hear all about my Tuesday. Until tomorrow….
