Sunday - Cloudy but warm
I went to bed very late last night. I was even a little shocked about it. I didn’t set myself any alarms for this morning as we had no plans at all. I woke up around 10:30 I think and went downstairs. I came back upstairs and got back into bed. A few minutes later, F came upstairs and we started talking about what to do today. We talked about movies, we talked about lunch and we talked about a few other things.
I got up and suggested to F that we call the place that he suggested to make sure that they were open. He did call and they were open but busy. The owners suggested that we come a bit later. We relaxed around the room. I heated up my water pot and we had coffee to drink before we left and went to the restaurant. When we got there, the restaurant was almost empty! We went in and ordered. I had the chicken tenders set meal and F had fish.
After lunch, we talked about what to do, but we decided to go to the grocery store. I bought the groceries. F had said that he wanted to have curry this week, so I got the ingredients, plus a lot of other things for the week. I went back to the car and gave F his change next. I asked that we go to a drugstore next, so we did. We needed a few things and some masks, so we spent a bit of time looking for them.
We went over to a cheaper grocery store to get bentos for dinner. I didn’t want bentos and said so. I meant that I’d get something premade and cobble a dinner together. All of a sudden F was for cooking dinner and I just plain old refused. I had no wish to cook on Sunday. He could if he wanted, but he didn’t either! We ended up with F getting a bento for himself and his mother and I got some chicken cutlets and a salad. I realized as we got to the checkout that my lunch and dinner were very similar! Oh dear.
We came back to the house and I put the groceries away. I went upstairs then and relaxed for a while. F gave his mother her bento and then came upstairs. We decided that we’d have our bentos a bit later. At one point today F talked about going to see a movie. I was surprised as we saw one yesterday. He asked for the times, I told him, and he wanted to go to the late show. Then, around 5:40 he asked about the earlier show. Unfortunately, that was at 5:55 so we couldn’t have made it to the mall in time. At one point he wanted to go, then he changed his mind…I got a bit annoyed and told him that I hadn’t actually expected him to go as he often changed his mind. Ten minutes later he wanted to go again!
F and I ate our bentos downstairs and it was nice. We had some tea and watched something on TV. I didn’t understand it, or care about it so it didn’t matter!
We did the dishes (he washed, I dried) and then we got ready to go out. We found out that K had run out of tissues, so thought we’d pick them up on the way to the mall. We stopped in at Seims and got some big batteries, some drinks for the car and tissues. We headed back out to the mall.
At the mall, we parked near the movie theatre and went in. We had a while to wait so we had a drink at Doutor. We both had tea, F had regular, and I had rooibos. When it was about 8:20, we went upstairs and bought our tickets and some popcorn and drinks.
We went to see Anora and it was good. There were only 3 people in the cinema and two of them were us! The film is in English, Russian and Armenian but the lovely thing is that they kept the English subtitles and just added the Japanese ones. I was so glad as I hate not being able to understand things. It was a film with a lot of nudity and sex, but it didn’t seem too exploitative. Ani was an exotic dancer, she was comfortable with her body and she was in a relationship. Anyway, both F and I liked the film a lot. I also spilled the popcorn when I was about ¾ of the way through it. Yikes. F always complains about how much popcorn is on the floor, but honestly, since I have to share with him and he sits one seat away from me, what does he expect? This was an accident.
After the movie, we came back to the house. We put away the tissues after putting a box out for K to use. I came upstairs and F set up the rice cooker for tomorrow’s dinner.
He’s finally sleeping and I have to get to bed soon. I have to get up early tomorrow morning as it is my holiest of holy days, the Academy Awards. They are on at 9:00 am I think…with some pre-awards shows on. I think they will be on either NHK or WOWOW on Demand, so I may have fun finding them tomorrow. Wish me luck with that.
Come back later if you like and hear all about my day. Until tomorrow….
