Sunday - Hot and Sunny, cloudy later on, with rain at night. 


I slept in this morning, but it’s Sunday. Aren’t we supposed to sleep in on Sunday? I went downstairs around 10 am and then came back to sleep in the room. I snoozed for a bit, but did get up and dressed before noon. I went downstairs to see F and he was sitting in the living room. We talked about lunch and I said I’d like some yakiniku and suggested either going to a place in Tsuruoka or a place in Sakata. He chose Sakata!


He called over and made a reservation. We got in the car and drove to Sakata. For some reason,  F put on some not very good music on the trip to Sakata. I told him that it was okay but on the way back I wanted to listen to the Bridget Jones’s Diary soundtrack! He was okay with that.


We arrived a little early for our reservation but it seemed like they had no idea what to do with us. We basically just joined the queue! Still, we really didn’t have to wait very long. We both had the bibinba lunch with some meat to grill and it was nice. However, the bibinba part didn’t show up for ages. We actually had to ask where it was!


We left Sakata and went back to Tsuruoka. It would have been nice to stop and shop or something, but F wasn’t into it. Sigh. I did get to listen to my music though!


We went to the grocery store back in Tsuruoka and I bought the groceries for the next couple of days. F came in with me but wasn’t as annoying as he usually is! Not quite anyway. The only thing is that when I ask him for ideas or suggestions he never has any. Drives me crazy. 


We came back to the house and I unpacked the groceries. I went upstairs afterwards with some of the food for tomorrow. I chilled out with my computer for a while and waited for the room to cool down. F came up and after a while said that he’d clean the air conditioner filter. I suggested that he wait until the room was a little bit cooler! To be fair, he did. When the room was cooler, I gave him the vacuum cleaner and he got to work. He also washed the filter.


He turned the AC back on and after a slight hiccup (the filter was peeking out the top) the AC was cleaned and back in use. Yay.


F seemed surprised that I didn’t buy anything for his mother’s dinner…but he was with me when I went shopping. If he had wanted something we could have bought it then! He knows that I don’t cook on the weekends. So, he went downstairs and made something for her dinner. Then, after 8 pm it was our turn.


We went out to Gusto tonight too. We went to the other Gusto though. Tonight I had my favourite pasta there. They have a fresh pasta with a lemony cream sauce with avocado, shrimp and ham. It’s very nice. I had small fries with it. F had a burger patty with a fried egg and some rice. We both had the drink bar.


Dinner was good and I enjoyed it. I dunno about F! We came back to the house afterwards and headed upstairs. 


I relaxed and wrote an email to my best friend. I owed her one. Then, I watched a bit of TV. I watched an episode of Buffy. I’m still in the second season I think. I still don’t really “get” the Buffy love yet. 


Ive been watching some YouTube while I’ve been blogging and doing my other internet stuff. Tomorrow I’m back to my boring little life and I’m not sure just what I’ll get up to. Come back a bit later and find out! Until tomorrow….
