Sunday - Cloudy and rainy


I woke up fairly early this morning. I went downstairs and then came back to bed. I texted with a friend for a while and then went back to sleep. I slept quite late, but it was fine. 


F had come back to the room and we relaxed. I got up and dressed. We decided we’d try the restaurant that we tried to go to last night. We drove over there and…it was full! We ended up going to Nagomi instead. I had a hot udon with duck and F had a set meal with tempura and soba. The restaurant was busy so we did wait a while, but it was okay. 


After lunch we went to a hardware store to buy some washers. I had noticed that the bathroom sink’s tap was leaking so F wanted to change the washer in the tap. We got the washers and had a quick browse around the store. 


We came back to the house and I went upstairs. F worked on the tap and then had to run out again to get some other piece to fix the tap. He did ask if I wanted to go too, but I didn’t really. I stayed at the house.


Around 6 pm F made dinner for his mother and then we went out around 7 for our dinner. I asked that we check out a Daiso for some air fryer liners. They only had the big ones left and they are too big for my air fryer. F asked if I could cut them to size, I could but there are only 6 in these packets so it wouldn’t really be worth it. I might try online and see if they have them in stock.


Next up, we went to Gusto and had our dinner. We both had chicken tonight. F had his with a garlic tomato sauce, I had mine with a creamy mushroom sauce. We shared a plate of fries and both had drink bar too. Our meal was fine, it wasn’t the best one ever, but it did the job.


We went to Mina next and F came in the store with me. It was okay, but as usual, he’d bop off and buy weird things that I didn’t want and we didn’t need! He picked up some umeboshi (pickled plums) and I asked him if he used up all the other containers of umeboshi that were in the fridge. He said he did. [Spoiler…he didn’t!] We did go slightly over budget so I was glad that F was there because he could see that I didn’t buy any junk or things that I didn’t need.


When we came back to the house and unpacked the groceries, I found the two other packs of umeboshi that were still in the fridge. One was nearly empty, and the other was less than half, but there were technically TWO packs with umeboshi in the fridge. I ribbed F about that! He does this sort of thing from time to time.


I came upstairs and F did things like setting up the rice cooker and ironing his uniform. I decided that I’d watch a movie tonight and decided on Practical Magic. It’s been years since I’ve seen it and there was a sequel out this year. Maybe I’ll even see it sometime. Practical Magic had a lot of promise, but it didn’t really deliver, sad to say. I did like the sister stuff, but there needed to be more magic really.


F went to bed a bit after midnight and I’m yawning away now, so I should go to bed too. It’s quite a bit later. I’m not sure what I’ll get up to later, come back and find out!


Until tomorrow….
