 Sunday - Rainy, snowy and cold


I woke up this morning and went downstairs. F was still in bed. When I came back we snuggled for a bit and then he got up. I finally dragged myself out of bed quite late, got dressed and just waited to see what we’d get up to today. 


F probably fed his mother and then he got busy. He worked more on the Shogi. I went looking for him around 2 pm. I hadn’t eaten yet and I was getting hungry. 


He agreed to take me out and I suggested Cocos. As he often does on the way there, he suggested going to a Japanese restaurant and I said no thank you. I didn’t think that was a good substitute for drink bar and some nice food. When we got to Cocos, F refused to eat. He came and sat with me, but wouldn’t eat or drink anything. 


I had some chicken and veggies and I ordered drink bar too. I only had two drinks. I had a decaf coffee drink, but I’m not sure that it was really decaf. 


I had wanted to go and get groceries after lunch, but F didn’t want to spend a lot of money. We went back to the house. He worked on the Shogi again and I went upstairs and vegged. That was sad. 


F came up when he finished. He hadn’t done all the windows in the house, but he said he’d done the windows that faced the outside. They looked terrible before, and K’s bedroom windows look out to our neighbours, so I think it was a good thing that he fixed the window covers. 


He wanted to go out for dinner and I suggested going to China House. We could get meals for under 1000 yen each.  First F made something for his mother’s meal and then we left. 


We went to China House and were able to get a table. I had mapo-dofu teishoku, or a set meal with spicy tofu and ground beef, rice, soup, potato salad and pickles. F had yakisoba with starchy sauce. We were both quite pleased with our meals. Over dinner, F remembered that I had asked him to replace one of the fluorescent light bulbs in the kitchen, so we went over to Yamada Denki, which was near the restaurant. We went in, used the loo, and then bought the light bulbs. 


After that, we headed to Mina, the grocery store. F gave me some money and I went in and went shopping. I picked up food for one night’s dinner, something for K’s lunch tomorrow and a few things for my lunches and some salads, that kind of thing. It wasn’t too bad price-wise and I was able to give F some money back. 


We came back to the house and F immediately got to work changing the lightbulb. I wish he had waited until I put away the groceries, but whatever, I got it done. I thanked him profusely when he was done and then I went upstairs. We had a fairly quiet evening in. 


I watched an episode of Bad Monkey off Apple TV+ and liked it, then I turned off the TV. F was on my case about going to bed early again, so I’m going to try. It’s annoying as I don’t want to do it. I don’t see the point really.


Today was a bit of a grumpy day if I’m honest. I like weekend days when we get to do things. I am glad that F did some Home Improvement stuff though, he’s been neglecting that a bit. I just wish I had taken myself out or done something fun. Maybe next weekend eh?


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