Monday - Cloudy with some light rain, warm.


Today was a different sort of day, but it was quite good really. That’s a good thing. I had a really lazy morning today. I could not get myself out of bed. I didn’t sleep that well last night and I woke up early so I was tired. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it!


I knew F wanted to be at his bank around noon, so we left a little late. Sorry. I got him to drop me off at the main post office. It took a while to get there as I think he kept forgetting how to get there. It’s a bit odd how he doesn’t know his hometown as well as I do at times! He dropped me off and I told him I’d keep in touch by text. 


At the Post Office I filled in my forms. I was depositing some 5 yen coins so did that. I also was paying my women’s group renewal fee. I filled in the form and did it at the ATM because it is cheaper! I also took out some money for my trip next weekend. 


Well, I was done at the post office and I didn’t know what F was up to. I texted him a message to let him know that I would walk up the road to the bank where he was. 


It was decent walking outside. It wasn’t hot and I was wearing my hat. The rain held off while I was outside so that was good too. I was walking next to the river for a lot of the walk, so it was nice to have views while I walked!


I made it to the bank and saw F’s car in the parking lot. I went inside and saw him sitting and waiting. I went and talked to him and then just had a seat while I waited for him. He didn’t take too long and soon we were off on our way. 


Lunch was up next and I had suggested his favourite eel restaurant. The master there does a very big lunch for a reasonable price. F was happy with that idea, so off we went. We went in and ordered the lunch. We each got a big cooked fish (cold), some sashimi, half a pork cutlet with salad, and a bowl of imoni, the local taro potato stew made this time of year. It was really good. It was huge, the same as ever. In fact, I wish the lunches were a little bit smaller for myself, but it was all good and I ate almost all of it. F had an iced coffee at the restaurant, but I turned it down. Iced coffee and I don’t always get on!



After our meal I was feeling quite thirsty so I suggested going for a drink. F suggested going to Komeda so that’s where we went. As often happens, F’s phone had died so I loaned him my battery and then he basically ignored me. Boo!


We discussed going to the aquarium and were going to go but then decided we were both too tired! I reminded F that I needed to do grocery shopping so we went over to Mina and I went in and did the shopping. I spent most of the money F gave me. I don’t think he was too pleased, but I didn’t buy any junk or extras at all. 


We came back to the house and I put the groceries away. I took the stuff for K and F upstairs and spent some time on my computer. F came up a bit later and spent time on our bed. He took a bit of a nap too. 


He went downstairs to give his mother her bento. He said she didn’t want it, but she was eating it when he left! We left for our meal a bit after 7:30. 


We did Gusto again, but the one over by MaxValu this time. We both had the 3 menu items for under 1000 yen, it comes with drink bar and the soup of the day so that was good.  Dinner was fine. It wasn’t anything to rave about though.


We came back to the house and upstairs. I took my shower right away which was nice because then I had time to watch some TV. Tonight I watched the last episode of The Power. It’s too bad it hasn’t been continued as I enjoyed it. 


That’s about it for the day. It was a bit good, but tiring too. F is back to work tomorrow and frankly, I’m glad. I have things to do that I can’t get done when he’s here!


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