Monday - Sunny and warm
I woke up this morning rather late. I stayed in bed much later than normal. I went downstairs and then came back to bed. A little later, F came up and he went back to bed too! We snuggled for a bit and then I had to go downstairs. I got dressed and we talked about where to go and have lunch.
F suggested a soba/udon place in Oyama. We went there before and I didn’t like it. I didn’t want him to get upset so I said it was okay. We went and it wasn’t okay. I don’t like soba, I don’t like udon and I didn’t like the meal. There was no tempura or any kind of protein available so I was hungry all afternoon, even though I got to the point where I couldn’t even eat anymore noodles!
F did offer to take me to the bird sanctuary nearby for a walk around, but unfortunately I had forgotten my hat today. I begged off. Instead we drove back into Tsuruoka and went to Musashi, the hardware store. From there we headed back into the city and I asked if we could go to Yamaya, the liquor/foreign foods store. I picked up some rooibos tea and also some coconut water for my sister’s visit.
We went back to the house and F took down some of the window screens in the house and fixed them! Some of them were looking very bad and had big holes in them. I was pleased that he did that. I spent time in the room watching YouTube!
F made his mother something for dinner. He was a tad surprised that she was hungry as he had fed her just a little while ago. I have the sneaking suspicion that she forgot that she had eaten earlier.
F asked me later where to go for dinner and once again got upset when I asked what he wanted. It is so hard to deal with him when he keeps saying that he only wants ramen. He had blooming noodles for lunch, does he need them for dinner too? I suggested either Cocos or Coco Ichibanya. Since he wouldn’t pick one of the two, I chose Cocos. We went over there and had to wait a few minutes before we were seated.
I had pasta for dinner. I know, I know, noodles! Sometimes I am so silly. It was one of their specials with asparagus and nama ham. It was a type of carbonara. It was okay, but I was a bit disappointed. F had beef curry and was a bit meh with his. We had drink bar and we shared a salad. It was quite nice. We spent rather a long time there. It’s one of the few restaurants that has decaf coffee drinks so I was pleased with that. It’s nice to be able to have coffee when I’m out.
We came back to the house after dinner. When we arrived, I went upstairs and F sorted out something for K’s breakfast for tomorrow. I started my waterpot and then came downstairs and took a shower.
Back in the room I had some tea and watched an episode of Mythic Quest. It was rather fun. It’s not as funny this season though. I still like the show, but I hope they’ll remember the comedy soon! I also finished the row of crochet on my sweater that I was working on last week. My hands have been rather painful this week which makes crocheting a bit difficult.
And that’s about it for me. F asked if I had any requests for things to do tomorrow so I let him know that there is a movie at Machi-ne Kinema in the afternoon and evening. He seemed interested. We’ll also have to do the regular shopping and hopefully eating!
Come back later if you like and hear all about my day. Until tomorrow…..
