Saturday - Sunny but cooler and very windy


I went downstairs and then went back to bed as usual this morning. After that, I snoozed for a couple of hours. When I got up, I took care of a personal chore that I put off for far too long, then F was all about “Can we go for lunch now?!” Yes, we can. 


I dressed and then we went out to Tenkane again. This morning, we both had sashimi which came on a bowl of rice and had some bamboo miso soup. It was pretty good. The sashimi was nice too.


After lunch, I asked that we go to a clothing store as I was hoping to buy new socks. My feet are hard on socks and I’ve been making big holes in them lately. F needed some stuff too, he needed a new belt and a pair of suspenders! I also got a new chair cushion for my desk chair. It’s so uncomfortable at times. 


When we finished in the shop we went to the nearby hardware store. F got a plant pot of carnations for his mother for tomorrow (mother’s day) and looked at fish. From there, we decided to have a drink.


We headed to Cafe B-Flat for a drink. F did one of his weird things where he just took every wrong turn that he could! I was giving him directions at the end to get him back on track. We had a drink each and also a piece of mango shortcake. That was very nice. My drink was an iced cafe latte. It wasn’t decaf but it was good. F just had blend coffee. 


Although time was getting a bit short, F and I headed over to DCM so he could get some car shampoo. While he was there, he also picked up some tomato plants. K is so in love with mini-tomatoes and they cost more than you’d expect in summer.


Finally, we went back to the house. I went upstairs and F waited downstairs for his mother. Around 6 pm F made dinner for her and then we talked about where to go. I came up with the idea of going to Foodever again. We haven’t been there in ages and I was hoping that the newish Indonesian restaurant would be open. 


We drove to Marica and F parked the car. We went downstairs to the restaurants  and there was really only one open, so we went there. I had promised F that if the prices were too high we could leave, but honestly, they weren’t bad. F had a ginger pork steak which came with rice, salad and soup…I had pork and mixed herbs pasta in an oil sauce. It was very nice, but I did feel that F got a lot more food than I did!


Next up for us, we went to a drugstore to use the washrooms…for some reason, the washrooms at Foodever aren’t open and they were directing people to another building! Say what?! F bought some tape at the drugstore, then we went on to the grocery store.


We bought a few things at the grocery store and then came back to the house. I unpacked the groceries and I went upstairs. I got ready to take a shower and then went back downstairs with my towel. 


I came back to the room and then watched tonight’s episode of FBI. I thought it was a good one, but a bit sad. It was about a clinic which stole people’s babies and adopted them out for a fee. They told the people the babies died. Sad as I said.


Since midnight I’ve been doing my end of day computer things and getting ready to go to bed. Tomorrow we have the social worker in charge of K in the early afternoon, then F and I will have to get in our groceries for the coming week. I’m hoping that we will be able to do something else fun but we’ll see. 


That’s about it for me for today. I’m really tired now so I’m off. Come back later if you like and hear all about my day. Until tomorrow….
