Sunday - Rainy, cloudy and cool
I went to bed rather late last night and this morning I slept in a bit late. It was nice not to wake up early for a change. I gingerly got up, but the room didn’t spin. It moved a little, but a couple of seconds later I was fine. I went downstairs then came back upstairs and went back to bed for a little while. I tried to use my phone to access the internet, but it didn’t work. I ended up texting F and asking him if he’d forgotten to pay the internet bill! He said it worked downstairs, but later found out it didn’t. He came upstairs and called the internet company. He also found the bill and the due date was tomorrow. The internet company suggested restarting our router or something and that seemed to work. Yay.
I waited for F to tell me what he’d like to do for brunch and I didn’t have long to wait. He suggested contacting the restaurant that we went to last week and asking for some pasta without tomato sauce. I was okay with that. I’d had an idea for lunch, but was fine with his idea. He called the restaurant but there was no answer. We decided to go somewhere else, but the guy from the restaurant called him back and said that it was fine if we came and he could make us some pasta. Yay.
We jumped in the car and drove over there. We were the only customers in the restaurant and the chef was working alone. F ordered us carbonara and we helped ourself to soup. The chef gave us some salad and carrot rappé while we waited. The pasta carbonara was very nice when it arrived. It tasted good, even if the sauce was a bit clumpy.
After lunch I was a bit sleepy. We ran a few errands. First up, a quick drugstore visit, then we went to Gyomu Supa. I went in and bought a few things for the house. I got us some potato salad, some frozen veggies, some baby cheese, and a few other things. Oh, oatmeal. I got my Canadian oatmeal. Yay. F needed a bank afterwards and then we went back to the house.
I put away the shopping and then went upstairs. My plan was to take a nap, but I never actually did that. I was on my computer for a long time and then F came upstairs and started talking about dinner. He wanted to make me some yakisoba. I said no thank you. He said it would be better than last time and I said no thank you. Apart from the fact that I didn’t believe it would be better, I’d had pasta or noodles at least once a day since Friday and I didn’t want anymore today. He went downstairs to make some for his mother.
Next thing I knew F was upstairs in the room eating yakisoba. He said he made too much for his mother so he had to eat it. He tried to make me have some but I refused nicely.
We still had to go out and have dinner and also buy our groceries for the next couple of days. F didn’t really have any ideas for dinner so I suggested the Chinese restaurant on the other side of the park. He grudgingly agreed.
We went in the car and drove around the park. Just as we got close to the restaurant, he speeded up! Of course, we passed the restaurant and I told him that I didn’t see outside lights, but I did see lights in the restaurant. He turned the car around and we went over to the restaurant.
It was actually open and there was parking available. Woot. We went in and had a look at the menu. We decided we’d each order a dish and share them. I had mapo-dofu on rice, F had fried rice. We also ordered some gyoza to share. The food, when it arrived a few minutes later, was good and we enjoyed our meal. F seemed a bit surprised that it was good, but I wasn’t.
We paid and left, then headed over to the grocery store. I went in and did the shopping. I enjoyed being out of the car for a while.
After I shopped, I went out to the car and we came back to the house. I put away the groceries and then headed upstairs to relax. I decided that I’d watch something off the Fire Stick tonight so ended up watching the second episode of Cardinal and the first episode of Lazarus. It’s a brand new Prime show that is showing promise. It has Bill Nighy and Sam Claflin in it. When the programmes were over I turned over to WOWOW and watched the end of Poor Things. I still like that movie.
And that’s about it for my day. I did some knitting during my shows tonight. I didn’t say, but I frogged the first hat attempt as it was still too big and now I’m trying again. It’s going fairly well, but I won’t know for a bit if it’ll fit me or not. I hope so!
Come back later if you like and find out all about my Monday. Until tomorrow….
