Wednesday - Hot and sunny, cooler at night


I woke up after F left this morning, but before my alarm. I went downstairs and then came back to the room. I did go back to bed and watched a few videos before falling asleep again. I woke up later and got up. I dressed and went downstairs to make my breakfast which I brought upstairs to eat.


I had a quiet afternoon. I watched some YouTube, I did a few cleaning things downstairs and I eventually had lunch too. I decided to do another episode of Buffy, so I watched that. It was a little bit creepy so that was good!


F called after 5:15 to say he was on his way back. I asked him to pick up some potato chips. I thought they’d be nice on the side of the plates. I went downstairs around 5:30 and got started on dinner.


Tonight I had a “thing” at 8 pm so I wanted to be done early. I had decided to make sandwiches for tonight. I made some tuna salad, and some chicken salad. I sliced up some cucumbers and I also pickled a small red onion. I had bought some nice bread yesterday. I got small croissants and some very long buns. I made tuna salad with cucumber slices sandwiches with the croissants, and cut the long buns in half to make chicken salad and pickled onion sandwiches. I took one of the long buns, cut it in thirds and made a vegetable sandwich with cucumber and pickled onions. We had a salad on the side. I used some old paper plates. They were a bit curved, but they worked!


Dinner was good and we ate everything. We had a few potato chips with our salad and sandwiches, the change of texture was nice. After we finished eating, I quickly cleared the table. I washed the dishes that needed washing but I didn’t dry them for a change. I also did up the garbage in the kitchen.


I went upstairs and got to my meetup. It was another movie watching event and it was a lot of fun. The person was showing Peter’s Friends which I hadn’t seen since it came out….in 1992! I enjoyed seeing it again. It had Emma Thompson, Imelda Staunton, Stephen Fry, Hugh Laurie, Rita Rudner and Kenneth Branagh, amongst a few other people. It was fun. The reviews were horrible on Letterbox’d, but I really enjoyed seeing it again.


After the movie, I went downstairs to take a shower and to put the dishes away. I found F in the kitchen. I think he was trying to help, but he was putting things in the wrong place so it annoyed me a little and he left the room. I finished and then I took a shower.  


I went upstairs and chatted with F. He was okay. I asked him to make some rice and he obliged. I don’t need it, but him and K might. They might appreciate having rice after two nights without rice. 


I watched Grey’s Anatomy. It was quite the show tonight. A couple of the doctors have decided to open up their marriage and one of the doctors had a one night stand with someone she shouldn’t have had. Oh well. And Meredith is going to study female patients for her research.


F said that it was cooler outside so we turned off the AC and opened a couple of windows. I’m actually finding it cold now! 


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

I really liked Peter's Friends, though like you I haven't seen it in years. (I was in university and rented it on VHS, so early 90s!) Sounds like a fun event, movie night, to have online with far-flung friends. Do you chat with each other while watching?

Hi and thanks for commenting. No, no chatting during the movie, but we generally have a few minutes after the movie to chat and talk about the actors or the story. I'm not a big fan of chatting during movies and with the number of people that watched it, it would be annoying!

The movies are generally shown at times when I'm not available so I can't often tune in, but last night I was able to by changing our dinner and making it easier for myself. When they start at 7 pm, I'm usually not able to join as that is our dinner time.

Thanks for visiting and leaving a friendly comment!
