Saturday - Sunny in the morning, cloudy later on.
Today was an odd day. It wasn’t a bad day, but it will probably turn out to be a very expensive day.
Last evening, F said that he wanted to go to the eel restaurant again because the internet said it was only closed for lunch on Wednesdays and Sundays. I told him that we’ve tried to go on Saturday before and they were always closed. I said I would go if he wanted to try it.
Well, this morning I got up and got dressed in time to leave when F wanted to go. We went out to the car and drove off. We were a tad early, so we parked in the spaces and waited. And waited. And waited. After 11:40 F agreed that it wasn’t going to open. We talked about where else to go. We tried to go to Arpeggio but they were full. Next up, F suggested another place that we’ve eaten at once. I liked it, but F thought it was expensive. We went there.
Today, we got to the parking area and while F was manoeuvring the car, he hit a big rock in the yard. It scratched up the car and knocked the fender a bit off. F was upset, but still wanted to go in the restaurant. Some of menu items are expensive, but they sounded very nice. I found some cheaper lunches in the back. I ordered a wasabi mayo roast beef bagel sandwich and salad, F ordered a BLT on a croissant with a salad too. We both had drinks and our lunch was nice, if a little small.
After lunch, we went to the post office to mail a parcel to my bestie in Canada. It was quick and easy.
After that, we went to F’s car dealership to see about getting the car fixed and making it drivable. Well, it’s going to cost a pretty penny to get it fixed, but he can drive it for now. Sigh.
We went back to the house via a grocery store for bentos and a few other things. At the house I went upstairs and watched some YouTube.
We had dinner around 7:00pm. We all had bentos that were okay. I’m not a big fan of bentos but I didn’t want to cook tonight. While I was gathering things off the table, I asked F if we should cancel our plans to go out tonight, but he said he’d still like to go. Wow! The movie started at 8:25 and it was now close to 8 pm. I had done the dishes by this point so I went upstairs to get my jacket and purse. Then, F and I left the house and drove out to Mikawa.
We were lucky enough to get a great parking spot, close to the door of the mall. We went in the mall and went up to the theatre. We bought our tickets and then some popcorn and drinks. We went to see Better Man, the biopic of Robbie Williams. I’ve been a fan of his for years, so I really enjoyed the music. F knew some of the songs from me doing them at karaoke. I really liked the movie…the gimmick of Robbie being played by a CGI Chimpanzee was interesting, but it worked in the context of the movie.
F and I were the only two people in the theatre and this was Saturday night. I’m pretty sure that it won’t stick around, which is sad as it was a good film.
After the movie, we drove back to Tsuruoka and the house. We had a quiet evening in. We arrived around 11:30 or so. F stayed up for a while, but he’s finally gone to bed and I want to go soon too.
I have no idea what we’ll get up to tomorrow. I hope that we can get our weekly groceries and maybe have a nice time together. Fingers crossed.
Well, that was my day. It was pretty good, but I am sorry about the car.
Come back later if you like and hear all about my day. Until tomorrow….
