Friday - Hot and Sunny

I woke up this morning when my alarm went off. I made a trip downstairs and then came back to the room. I sorted out my laundry for the day and then went back to bed for a snooze. 

I got up later and got dressed. I went to the kitchen to make my breakfast and F called. He said that he was on his way back to the house and did I want anything?  I asked for some iced coffee. 

I took my breakfast upstairs and ate it quickly. A few minutes later F showed up with my iced coffee. I didn’t know at the time, but the bag he had put it in had leaked all over the stairs! He also gave us each a chocolate croissant from the conbini. It was okay.

My coffee was great. F was tired so he relaxed for a while. He said that he didn’t sleep, but…in my opinion, he did. He left to pick up his people around 2 pm. 

I watched some YouTube and then I went downstairs for my lunch. I brought it back up to the room. Instead of watching the movie or even a TV programme, I watched something I recorded last night. I watched a music video from 1976 from the UK. It was kind of cool. I’ve seen the episode before and I enjoyed it. It had one of my mother’s favourite British singers (Alvin Stardust) on it, so that was cool. Oh, and it had Twiggy on it too. She’s actually a pretty good singer. I used to have an album of hers an aeon ago!

I watched the news later and then went downstairs to start dinner after F called. He went to the grocery store on his way back to the house. 

Tonight I did pasta again, it was a more simple garlic butter pasta. I liked it a lot. F had hardly any, K had a second helping, unusually. We had it with salad, cucumber pickle and bacon. Dinner was good.

I washed and dried the dishes and then put them away. I was a bit annoyed with F so I just went upstairs and didn’t say I was going upstairs. 

He came upstairs a little bit later. Things were fine, but he’s still feeling a bit bad again. I’m a bit worried about him.

I went downstairs and took a shower. When I finished, I came back upstairs to the room and watched the end of the movie that I’ve been watching. It was Where the Crawdads Sing. It was okay, but I didn’t love it. I’ve had it on the DVR for a couple of years. I’m looking at one of the actors in the film for my column. He was the baddie of the piece in this film, but he usually does play the good guy. 

Since I finished the movie I’ve been doing my usual end of day stuff, and I’ll probably drag myself off to bed soon. 

I’m not sure what we’ll get up to this weekend. K has her Day Service tomorrow. There are a couple of movies but F doesn’t seem in the mood. On Sunday there’s a concert at the aquarium, but I told F that I’ll only stay if we can get seats on a bench, not on a stool.

Anyway, come back later if you like and hear all about my day. Until tomorrow….
