Sunday - Sunny and warm, rainy with hail at night


I slept in this morning. I did wake up before 10, went downstairs and then slept on. Or tried to. I didn’t really fall asleep. F came upstairs around noon and got me up!


I suggested something out of the box today for lunch. I suggested going to the big bakery and getting a few pastries there. They have tables and a drink vending machine, so I thought it would be a cheapish, different lunch for us. F agreed to it. We drove there…and there were no pastries there at all. They had plain bread, but I didn’t want that. Darn.


We left. F suggested going to a Farmer’s Market place. They often have baked goods available. We went there, and they did have a few things, but not a lot. I got myself 3 things and F got some ramen soup and also an okra plant. We went out to the car, and I had hoped that F would wait for me to eat something, but he didn’t. He also seemed rather angry with me. I ate half of one of my breads and then I had to stop. It was sticking in my throat and it was quite dry. 


We went to Shimamura next as I wanted to buy some socks. We parked and went in the store. I found some socks, I got two different types with a total of 4 socks. I paid for them and we left the store. Then, F decided he wanted to go back and buy something for himself despite me asking him if he needed anything several times!  I sat in the car and ate more food with a drink I bought outside the store. Next up, we went to a grocery store so he could get something for K’s lunch/dinner (I stayed in the car) and then a drugstore. I toddled around the store and bought some detergent for washing our clothes. 


We went back to the house and F planted his okra plant. I grabbed a garbage bag and cleaned out the back of the car somewhat. F’s garbage bag had overflowed and it was all over the place. I grabbed as many bottles as I could carry from the back of the car and brought them into the house to wash and put in the recycling bags. 


We were in the house for a bit. F asked if I’d like to go to the grocery store to get something. I said yes! We went to the local grocery store where F got something for K’s dinner. I picked up some chicken drumsticks for myself and he got more snacks too. We drove back to the house. F made soup for his mother and gave her dinner. I ate two of my drumsticks, F had the other one!


 After that, we went out. We went over to the Mikawa Mall and went to see Thunderbolts*. I really liked it. I’m not sure if F did, but he did laugh at the movie a couple of times and I don’t think he fell asleep for a change! I was also surprised that there were a lot of people in the cinema. Usually when we go to the English version of movies, there might be 5 to 10 people, I think there were more than 20 tonight. Yay! Maybe they’ll show more than one English movie a week?!


After the movie, we left the mall and came back to Tsuruoka. We talked about dinner. I suggested either keiten sushi or Gusto. F wanted sushi and I was fine with that. On the way back, it started to hail. The balls were at least pea sized, some may have been a bit bigger. Strange!


All of a sudden, F decided to change to Gusto so that’s where we went. F had a mixed fry meal and I had the mixed grill. We shared some fries and had drink bar as well. Mine was okay. It had gravy which was nice with my fries!


We went back to the house after dinner and relaxed for a while. I decided to watch something on the Fire Stick and watched another episode of Good Omens. It was quite funny. Michael Sheen is so good in this. 


And that’s the end of my day basically. We don’t have any plans for tomorrow. I did say that I wanted to go and check out a shop to see if they have something for later in the month. 


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