Wednesday - Sunny but cool

I woke up a bit after F left this morning. I went downstairs and then came back to bed. I watched quite a few videos and then fell asleep. 

I did get up a little easier and earlier than usual! I dressed and went downstairs to get my breakfast. I brought it upstairs and ate while watching a few reels on FB. 

I had a quiet morning and early afternoon really. I decided that I’d write a couple of postcards for Postcrossing. I pulled a couple of places in Europe, Czech Republic and Italy. I hope they arrive. I’ve gone one that’s been on its way to Europe for 40 days. I doubt it’ll arrive anymore.

I went downstairs around 2:30 to make my lunch. I brought it back upstairs and just as I set it down on my desk, I heard the doorbell go. F was expecting a package. I flew downstairs and got to the door in time to catch the guy. I got the package and brought it into the house. I texted F and then went back to my lunch. 

Today I watched an episode of Matlock while I ate my lunch. It was quite a good one and I enjoyed it for the most part. After the show ended I watched the news before I turned the TV off. 

F called around 5:30 and we talked for a few minutes. He said that he was on his way back so I went downstairs a while later and got started on dinner. 

Tonight I did chicken drumsticks with rice, salad, kabocha, pickled beets and some sardines! Dinner was good and most things disappeared.

After we ate, I did the dishes and listened to my podcasts. When that was done, I listened to a bit of music and started the garbage. F gave me a hand with his mother’s garbage and I did up the bag and put it in the genkan.

I went upstairs when I finished and then did my garbage up in the room. I left the bag for F to put his stuff in too.

I took a shower after 10:30 and then I made up a bag of popcorn that I got a few months ago. It was really nice, but many of the kernels didn’t pop. 

I came back to the room and watched Grey’s Anatomy. It was an okay episode today. It was mostly about Owen’s mother and Jo’s first day back at work. 

I turned off the TV around midnight and then watched a bit of YouTube. F and I had a chat about Postcrossing and I looked up his old account. It’s still there, but he hasn’t used it in over 10 years. 

That’s about it for the day. Tomorrow I hope to work on a letter to my best friend and maybe my column. I’ve done a rough sketch of my favourite films of the year, now I have to write about them all. It’ll be fun I hope.

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