Friday - Rainy and cloudy, cooler


I woke up this morning when F got up and got ready for work. He seemed to be particularly noisy today.


I fell asleep again and woke up with my alarm. I made a trip downstairs and then came back to bed. I snoozed a bit longer. I finally dragged myself out of bed and dressed.


I had my breakfast and watched the news today. Then, I had a quiet afternoon. F had done laundry yesterday and hadn’t bothered to take his clothes out of the washing machine. That meant I couldn’t do my clothes today. I was annoyed, but whatever. 


I made my lunch and brought it upstairs to eat. Today I watched an episode of So Help Me Todd. It was rather cute. I needed a light show after all of the serious horror of The Walking Dead


F phoned after 5 to say he was on the way back to the house. I went downstairs a few minutes later to start dinner. 


I had planned to do regular pasta tonight, but I noticed that I had a packet of gnocchi that was going to expire next week, so decided to do that instead. Dinner was interesting and was quite appreciated. We had the gnocchi with tuna mayo sauce, sliced duck breast, and salad. I also finally served my mincemeat tarts that I bought in December for dessert with a little ice cream. That was very nice!


I did the dishes and while I was working on that, listened to my podcasts. I enjoyed the movie one especially. I said goodnight to K and F afterwards and I went upstairs to relax.


I watched a little YouTube before going downstairs to take a shower. When I came back upstairs, I brought some tissues for F and I and also some water for my water pot. 


I watched episode 4 of the second season of Severance and it was rather odd…but in a good way. I thought it had Lynchian vibes!


F was getting on my case about not going to bed early again. I’m getting so tired of it. Apparently he wakes up when I come to bed and can’t fall back asleep again. I think that is more on him than on me though. I’m not noisy, he just isn’t a good sleeper. 


I’m not sure what we’ll get up to tomorrow. I have to mail something at the post office so hopefully that’ll happen. F wants to try his stupid eel restaurant again for lunch…but I told him that I am 89% sure that it will be closed. He just doesn’t remember that some of these places are closed in the morning on weekends. It’s driving me nuts. Yes, I know Google Maps says it is open, but it isn’t. 


I did do a couple of rounds of crochet today and it was nice to destress with that. I may be overdoing it though as my hands are finding it a bit hard to type at the end of the day. Woe is me!


That’s it for me. Tomorrow I’ve no idea what we’ll get up to. I’m hoping that we’ll go to a movie as there are now three movies in English nearby. 


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

I've found in Australia that also happens with Google saying places are open when they aren't. I was told by a small business owner recently that despite trying to update their hours on Google so as not to confuse customers, that Google wouldn't accept their updates so instead they've had to deal with angry customers who thought they were open when they weren't.

A lot of smaller restaurants changed their hours during Covid and haven't changed them back too. I'm not sure why he can't just call the restaurant to see if it is going to be open, but he really doesn't want to do that.

I'm glad in a way to hear that it isn't just here in Japan!

Thanks for your comment!
