Dec. 1st, 2006 07:58 amI got up early this morning - OK, 7am, which isn't early. I'm back in bed because that was a BAD mistake. My flat is sickeningly cold. I've brought the laptop under the covers and made a cocoon with the electroc blanket roaring away nicely until the room heats up a bit. Then I will brave the rest of the apartment.
Was waylaid last night on the way home by Miki-san waving at me through the window of his restuarant. Inticed in I had beer and potato salad. At 10.30pm I was the first customer of the night. A couple more turned up while I was there. They ordered rice and salmon roe. Miki-san gave me a bowl to try, but I found the smell was turning my stomach, which is strange since I think salmon is pretty good stuff. I had a couple of spoons of the roe - it was a bit like eating sea bubbles - fishy, gelatinous and mildly unpleasant. I've realised that much of my dislike for certain foods (see raw tomatoes) comes from the texture of them in my mouth. Anything slimy gets the gag reflex going - same with jelly.
Lazy day today. I don't have to log in until midday and then don't have a lesson until 5pm, so I'll be at home packing stuff up for the move on SUnday. Shouldn't take long, there's not a great deal of stuff apart from that in the kitchen.
Am going to brave the cold now. Also, I have either split my lip in the night or I have a cold-sore coming. Grreaat.
