Monday - Rainy, Cooler, Humid


I woke up briefly around 5:30 this morning. I think that F had gone downstairs and when he came back to bed I woke up. I woke up again around 7:30. F had gone to work and I was alone. I went downstairs and then came back to bed and spent time on my phone for a while before going back to sleep. 


When I woke up the next time, I dressed and went downstairs.  I grabbed my breakfast and then came back upstairs to eat. There was some YouTube involved in my morning and then some news from the TV. I watched the news from the bed. I watched a few minutes of a Clint Eastwood movie too, but didn’t watch too much of it. I’ve gone off him lately.


I went downstairs and set up the meat for dinner. I wanted to marinate it and did. I put it back in the fridge and came back upstairs for a bit.


I went downstairs again for lunch a little after 2:30 and made lunch. I brought it up to eat and again watched The Good Fight. It was a little sad to watch as it had Matthew Perry in it, in a dramatic role. There was none of Chandler’s mannerisms in his performance. He wasn’t even a good guy in the show.


F phoned around 5:30 and I went downstairs and got stuck into dinner prep. Tonight I made some cucumber pickle, roasted some fairly new potatoes and also cooked the meat in my air fryer. After all of that, I even did some spinach in the microwave. 


I did have a sort of funny thing happen tonight though. When F came back, I asked him not to do laundry until I was finished cooking dinner as the air fryer and the washing machine running simultaneously blow the fuse. He said it was fine. Five minutes later I heard the washing machine beep and I went through to see what was happening. I thought that perhaps K was washing something. Nope. There was F setting up the washing machine. I asked him what he was doing! He did look a little embarrassed but honestly. I suggested that he just soak his clothes until I finished cooking, and that’s what he ended up doing. 


Dinner was pretty darn good. The roasted potatoes were lovely and I could have eaten a whole lot more of them. Everything else was nice too. I did the dishes afterwards. It wasn’t terribly hot in the kitchen, but it was horribly humid. I was soaked from sweating. Yuck. 


When I went upstairs I took a bottle of sports drink with me and relaxed. I stripped off my wet clothing and let it dry. 


Around 10:30 I went downstairs and took a shower. I went into the kitchen and did up the garbage for F to take out, then went to the bathroom to get ready for my shower. Unfortunately, I realized that I hadn’t turned up the hot water heater. Oh dear. Luckily I had my robe so I wore that to the kitchen. 


I went upstairs after my shower and relaxed. F put on the AC on the dry mode as the humidity in our room was around 50%. I watched an episode of a British TV programme and thought it was odd but interesting. I also balled up some yarn that had become tangled, which was oddly satisfying!


I turned off the TV and went back to YouTube and my computer. I’m nearly finished blogging and then I’m going to go to bed. I owe many people emails and I really need to sit myself down and get them done tomorrow. And maybe some laundry. I need to do some of that too. 


Anyway, come back later if you like and hear all about my Tuesday. It probably won’t be too exciting, but you never know!


Until tomorrow….
