I had a pretty nice weekend. Friday night I cleaned house (!) and then went over to Red Spanky for the first time in a long time to have some pizza (shrimp, mayo and tomato) and cocktails until Kuniko got home. It was good to see the place, but I was still on the early side of their schedule, and there were just a couple of other customers.
Saturday the Fukumis came over for dinner. I made up carne asada street tacos with little 4 inch tortillas that my folks had brought when they came to Japan. Over dinner we looked at the pictures from their recent trips (Singapore and New Zealand) and talked about Mr. Fukumi’s upcoming change of scene. He’ll be working (and living) in Tokyo during the week, and then coming back here on the weekends to be with his wife. It sounds like a hard schedule, but actually, it probably doesn’t change their situation that much. Already he works so hard that they don’t have much time to spend together during the week.
Finally, yesterday Kuniko had to work during the late morning and afternoon, but I spent the day reading on the sofa with the windows open and a nice breeze running through the house. I can’t remember the last time that I spent just relaxing and reading. Thanks to Sunday’s day of relaxation, I think this week should be a pretty good one.
