Wednesday - Cloudy and a bit rainy
I woke up before my alarm today, made a trip downstairs and then went back to bed. F had gone downstairs to make breakfast for his mother. I hear it was ramen again. Eye roll.
I slept a bit longer but did drag myself out of bed. F had gone out to do his banking stuff. I dressed and went downstairs. I made my breakfast and brought it upstairs to eat.
I was watching the news when F came back and asked about lunch. He wanted to leave immediately which did annoy me a tad as I had just made myself a nice cup of tea. I changed into going out clothes and then we left the house.
F had wanted to go to his eel restaurant, but it wasn’t open when we got there. I wanted to tell him that if he’d phoned me from the car when he was on his way back, I could have been ready to go when he arrived. He didn’t and I wasn’t.
We ended up going to another restaurant nearby and had the same special that we had the last time we went there. It was nice but I wouldn’t say it was fantastic. I hope F doesn’t want to make it a regular place for us.
After lunch, F suggested going to look at mummies. This area of Japan has a number of mummies, monks that mummified themselves in order to help other people reach nirvana. When my visitors come over in May we thought we might take them to see a mummy. However, the first temple that we went to was closed. It seems that the temple priest is ill so he couldn’t show us the Mummy.
F decided to look up another one and did. We drove off into Kushibiki and possibly into Asahi. The place with the mummy was up some steep steps so F called to make sure there was someone to let us in to see him…but there was no answer. Oh dear.
We drove back to Tsuruoka and decided to go for coffee to Komeda. We haven’t been there in ages! I had my usual decaf coffee, F had a regular one.
Next in our line up was buying groceries. We went to Pal shopping area and went into the grocery store. I bought a few things for dinner tomorrow and Friday, something for breakfasts for K and F for the next two days. We also bought bentos for tonight’s dinner!
We came back to the house and relaxed for a little. I went downstairs and started heating up the bentos and setting the table. F got his mother up and we sat in the living room and ate our dinners. It was nice. F and I both had some grilled chicken on rice with a soft boiled egg, and we had bought an omurice for K. I thought it looked good and she never has it. She enjoyed it and said it was delicious, so that was good.
I did the few dishes afterwards and then did up the garbage as tomorrow is the day for pick up. It didn’t take too long which is nice.
I said goodnight to K and told F I was going to go upstairs. I relaxed a bit, put on some YouTube and then F asked if I’d like to have some yakitori. He’d bought some in the grocery store. I said sure, so he heated it up and brought it upstairs for us.
When I finished eating I took a shower. I didn’t really want to take one tonight, but I didn’t want to wait much longer for it.
I came back to the room. F suggested I get to bed early, but I didn’t like that idea. Instead, I watched another episode of Good Omens and enjoyed it.
That’s about it for my night. I’ve been blogging for a bit and watching a little YouTube.
I’m not sure what I’ll get up to tomorrow. Hopefully a bit of crochet and a bit of laundry, but we’ll see. Come back later if you like and hear all about my day. Until tomorrow….
