 Saturday - Rainy, cloudy and cold


I woke up around 9 this morning, went downstairs and then went back to bed for a short time. F fed his mother and then took her to the daycare service. 


I dragged myself out of bed, got dressed and checked in with F. He was almost ready to go to the doctor’s office. I was too, and around that time we left and went over to the office. We registered at the desk and had a seat. I got stuck into my book and read quite a bit. We waited for a while. We had our 3 minutes with the doctor and then we got our shots. We got one in each arm. We had to wait in the lobby for a few minutes to make sure that we didn’t have a bad reaction to the shots. We didn’t, so then F paid and we went to get our prescriptions. 


We decided to have yakiniku for lunch today so we drove over to Togashi. We made a quick washroom break first and then went to the restaurant. we sneaked in just before last order, so we had to cook and eat quickly. Our lunches were nice!


After lunch, we went over to Komeda Coffee and had a coffee. We have some coffee tickets so we need to spend them soon. It was busy again, but we did get a table after a few minutes. 


We came back to the house around 4 pm to be here for K’s return. When we parked the car, I said to F that we should take in the solar lights that we put around the yard. They should be taken in before it snows and snow will be coming soon. We spent a few minutes and did that.


F stayed downstairs in the house and I went upstairs. I turned on the heater and my waterpot and relaxed for a bit. I had wanted to go and see the movie tonight but I wasn’t sure if either of us would feel like it. F said he was still game but wanted to go for dinner first. 


I got onto Google Maps and an interesting suggestion came up. Entrance Bagel and Diner. I’ve been to Entrance Bagel before. It’s near the river. Last year, I took a bunch of friends there to buy lunch and everyone enjoyed it. We had to get takeout as they didn’t have an eat-in area. They did have a rooftop area, but it was a hot sunny day so no good for me!


This was a new place. We drove over there. We missed the turn the first time, so had to go around the block again. We did make it and went in. We were the only customers. We looked at the menu and decided to order. F had an Asian Seafood Pilaf and I had Fish and Chips. Mine came with 2 pieces of fried fish (probably cod) and lots of chips and a lot of homemade potato chips. It also had ketchup and tartar sauce…a nice one. F and I shared our food, I didn’t want to as usual, but it was fine. Often when we share, F ends up eating more than his fair share of mine and I don’t get enough of his. 


Dinner was very nice and I enjoyed it a lot. I want to go back and have their hamburger and fries. I’m always looking for a good burger but tonight I felt like fish. Lunch was a lot of meat after all!


After we left the restaurant we headed out to the mall in Mikawa. We bought our tickets and then F wanted to visit a hundred yen shop. F wanted to, not me! He bought a pants hanger, and I bought a bag of tea bags so I could have cups of tea upstairs. The tea bags are empty. Most of the tea I buy is loose, so tea bags are very useful.


F took our purchases out to the car and then we went back upstairs and bought our concession goodies. We got drinks and popcorn. Finally were were able to go in and we saw Moana 2. It was good. I wouldn’t say it was great, but we did enjoy ourselves. The original Moana was only shown in Japanese at the cinema, so it was a nice surprise that it was playing in Japanese AND English. 


After the movie, we drove back to Tsuruoka and to the house. We came upstairs and just relaxed. I didn’t watch my episode of FBI, but I’ll try for next week. 


I’ve been blogging and watching YouTube until now. I should go to bed soon as I’ll have a lot of things to do tomorrow. My left arm is quite sore, but my right one is mostly fine. I’m sure it’ll be worse tomorrow which is not great to think about!


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