Sunday - Rainy and cloudy, clearer at night

I got up early this morning. Yep…Sunday morning and I got up early. I dressed and went downstairs and made myself some grilled cheese sandwiches in my air fryer. They were so good! If I’d had really good cheese they would have been great!

I went upstairs and changed into my going out clothes and a few minutes later we went out and drove over to Machi-ne Kinema. That place was hopping today. We went to see Conclave today. We couldn’t do our usual sitting one seat apart thing, in fact, we almost couldn’t find two seats together! We had to sit over on the side next to a nice lady that probably thought she would be able to have an empty seat next to her. 

Conclave was great. Happily for me it did have English subtitles for the parts in Italian, so I could understand most of the movie. I thought F was falling asleep on it because I heard a lot of loud breathing from F, but he wasn’t. He liked it too. 

After the movie we decided to go and have a light lunch. F came up with the idea to come to go to Cafe Heart & Peace. We parked and went in. We looked at the menu and had a couple of different dishes. F had lunch set on pancakes, I had a galette style pancake with egg, sausages, salad and some pasta. It was nice and yet still a bit light. I’d eaten before, but wanted something to tide me over to dinner. 

This was quite yum!

Since we were at the outskirts of Kushibiki, we drove over to the hardware store there and picked up a few things. We were looking for fish food for F’s fish, but they didn’t have what he wanted. Instead, we got rice, toilet paper, tissues, snacks, drinks for K and a garbage can deodorant. F still wanted his fish food, so we decided to try another place in Tsuruoka. We went to DCM near MaxValu. Sadly, they didn’t have what F wanted either, but he picked up a few pet related things. 

We came back to the house for a while. I headed upstairs and chilled out with some YouTube for a while. F spent a lot of time with his mother or his fish, I don’t know which! He went to the other petshop at the big hardware store for his fish food and also stopped in to get his mother something for dinner.

For our dinner, F wanted tempura and suggested a couple of udon place. I did not want Japanese noodles, but he did let me pick the restaurant last night, so fair’s fair. We went to a very busy udon restaurant and ate there. It was surprising how busy it was. We’ve been several times in the evening and have never seen it lined up the way it was today. I had niku udon (meat on udon) with some tempura on the side. It was rather nice. 

After dinner we went to PAL shopping area and did the grocery shopping. F came in with me and to be fair, he wasn’t as annoying as he usually is! He didn’t pop off to parts unknown very often, so that was good. 

We came back to the house and I put away the groceries. After that, I went upstairs again and decided to watch a few shows from Apple TV+. Today I watched Murderbot, Shrinking and Mythic Quest. I enjoyed all of them. I want more Murderbot! I may have to break down and buy some of the books.

I turned off the TV at midnight and got stuck into my blogging and end of day routine. I will be going to bed in a few minutes as I’m quite tired. 

Tomorrow I have to do some laundry and I’ll be back to cooking dinner and such. Yay?

Oh, and I got a text this morning that my sister and her hubby made it safely back to their home so that is good. 

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