Saturday - Sunny and warm


I woke up fairly early this morning. F forgot to turn off his alarm again. That’s so annoying. I went back to sleep for a while but woke up again around 9 am. I went downstairs and it was a little odd because F and K were just leaving. F was shouting at K so that she could hear him, but of course she couldn’t. It’s rather funny, but it isn’t.  


I went back upstairs and slept on for a bit. Or, tried to. I got up a bit later and started to get dressed. F came upstairs and asked about going out for lunch. He suggested an eel restaurant, I countered with an Indian restaurant. That’s where we ended up going. Yay.


We went to the newest Indian place in the old Jiro restaurant. It was busy!  I had chicken curry today and F had the saag keema curry. We both liked ours but wished we’d asked for them to be spicier. We had a nice cup of marsala tea afterwards.  We left and paid. 


We went to Yamaya after our meal and bought a few things at the store. I got some tea and snacks, F bought a few things that I’m not really sure why! F wanted to go back to the house after we finished in the store but I wasn’t sure why that was. He drove all the way back to the house and then when he asked me if I wanted to go somewhere else I said yes! 


We ended up going for a drive in the mountains to see the autumn leaves. It was lovely to be honest. It did take a bit of a weird turn though when F decided to follow a road on Yudono-san. It was narrow but paved. It was on our GPS as well, so that was good. However, he decided to keep going on the road. We ran out of pavement and according to the GPS we weren’t anywhere. We were climbing the mountain and the road was getting very bad. I basically asked F to turn back as soon as possible as I was getting scared about what could happen if the car got stuck or something. He had to keep going until there was a place to turn around. We did turn around finally and started down the road again…and met a car with two people in it on the way up. I wonder if they were just like us, sightseeing.


We got back down the mountain and drove back to Tsuruoka. We stopped in Kushibiki at a Michi No Eki and F bought his mother a snack and then we got an ice cream each. That was quite nice.


We went back to the house and went in. F waited downstairs for his mother, I went upstairs to the room and spent time with my computer. I watched a bit of YouTube and caught up with some of my favourite sites. 


We decided to leave for the mall around 6:30. K was happy with her snack tonight and didn’t want dinner. We left for the mall.


We bought our movie tickets first and then went to the food court. I ordered a bibinba and F picked up some yakisoba for himself. We had a drink with our meal. I really liked my bibinba, it was good. F said he liked his noodles, but I didn’t think they looked very nice. 


We went to see Gladiator 2 tonight. It was okay. I think the original Gladiator was better, but tonight’s movie was enjoyable somewhat. I didn’t love it, but I did like it. F was about the same I think, except he hasn’t seen the original Gladiator.


On the way back to the house, I joked to F that it felt like a lot of popcorn was in my bra. I expected him to make a joke about it as usual. Instead he said it was embarrassing that there was so much popcorn on the floor when we left. It was a dig at me because I’m the one who eats most of the popcorn. I don’t actually get to hold the popcorn though. It’s on the arm of the seat between us, so it is quite easy to drop the popcorn. Besides, their staff doesn’t have much to do, just a bit of sweeping. We aren’t talking about buckets of popcorn, just a bit. 


I was really hurt to hear that I embarrass him. I didn’t want to talk to him anymore. I tried to see if I could find a nice place out of town for next weekend but I couldn’t. Sigh. Next weekend is a big family thing that I no longer wish to attend since I’m such an embarrassment, and his birthday which I don’t feel like celebrating anymore. I’ll probably be fine, but he really is a bonehead sometime. 


We came back to the house and I went on my computer and ignored him for the rest of the night. He’s snoring away now. I should head to bed soon. 


That’s it for me. Until the ride back to the house, it was a good day. Come back later if you like and hear all about Sunday. Until tomorrow….
