Sunday - Cloudy with rain in the afternoon
I woke up around 7:00am this morning and had to make a run downstairs. After that, I went back to sleep and woke up around 10am. F was downstairs and I had no idea what was going on too! I got dressed and went downstairs to see what was going on.
F told me that his car appointment was at 3:30 today, and then asked if I wanted to go out for lunch. He suggested Arpeggio, the place he said that he would never go again three weeks ago! LOL. It was fine with me. F got changed and then we drove off to the restaurant. We parked in the last parking space available and walked to the restaurant. There was the dreaded “Full” sign on the door. I suggested that F go in and ask if we could be wait-listed, which he did. He said that it probably wouldn’t be too long. We went for a walk down the street and came across an antique sale in a community center. We went in and upstairs to see it. However, F got called after we were in the room about 5 minutes, so we didn’t get to see very much.
We walked back to the restaurant and were able to go in. We got a great table, and ordered a few minutes later. We both requested the same thing, Chicken tenders set meal. They have really nice ones. And then we waited. And waited. Around half an hour later we requested something to drink. They were busy and we think they had just forgotten to give us something to drink. When we came back into the restaurant, they did warn us that the food would take a while. And it did! It was close to an hour later when we got our meals. However, they were really good! We ate and we were too busy eating to talk to each other.
After a while, we left the restaurant and went back to the car. We had a bit over two hours to wait for F’s car appointment. We decided to go to Starbucks. We got in and actually got a nice seat, with a couch and two armchairs. Woot. I got us the drinks. F had his usual Frappucino and I had an English Breakfast Tea Latte. That was nice, but I forgot to ask them to leave out the sweet syrup. Darn.
We left around 3 and drove over to the car dealership. F handed over his keys and we were shown inside to a table. We were offered drinks as usual and then relaxed. We were told that it would take 2 hours to fix the car. Oh dear. It was raining and there really isn’t that much around that area. We could have gone to Cocos but we weren’t hungry and F doesn’t like it anyway! All in all, we spent 2 and a half hours in the dealership. We even got second drinks that were quite nice. There was free wifi and we were warm and safe, so it was quite pleasant to be there!
After they finished repairing the car, F and I got back in the car and drove towards the house. We went into the little local grocery store and picked up some food for K for dinner. While we were there, I suggested getting the breakfast food for K and F for tomorrow and we got a couple of other things.
We drove back to the house and delivered the food. K had a nice dinner and a few minutes later, F and I went out for our dinner. We ended up at Nagomi for Japanese food. F made it sound like he hadn’t had any this weekend, but he had the last two meals of Japanese food. It was okay, but not what I wanted.
We went to the nearby grocery store in PAL to get food. Well, I did. F stayed in the car and I did the shopping. Whew! I prefer that.
We also made a quick stop at Yamaya to pick up some spices and F got a pack of snacks.
We came back to the house and had a quiet evening. F did his weird unpacking of the groceries. I wish he wouldn’t bother. I don’t want all the food spread all over the table. I wanted to put most of it directly into the fridge. I got it away finally.
Later in the evening I watched another episode of Gen V. I haven’t watched it in ages. It was a weird episode, like they all are.
F went to sleep, but has just woken up for a bit. I hope he falls asleep again.
It was quite an unusual day for us with a lot of just sitting around, but it was quite nice too. It was a bit low pressure, which is good too.
Tomorrow, F is back to work and I’ve got some things to catch up on. I hope I manage to get a bunch of things done. Come back later and check up on me! Until tomorrow….
