This week has been pretty quiet for us. Dan's had a few busy nights at work so we pretty much just had dinner in most nights. Hannah came over to hang out with me on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons. It's always nice to have another human around during the day instead of just talking to myself or listening to the same episode of Sportscenter 6 times as background noise.
Both Dan and Robin follow the same schedule of working semi-normal business hours and being home in the evenings for dinner. Robin occasionally has work-related dinners that he attends but rarely does he go out in the evenings just for a beer and a chat... with anyone other than us haha. Hannah and I were discussing this on one of the afternoons, commenting that she and I spend a reasonable amount of time together just the two of us (because we work from home) but the guys rarely have any "dude time" that isn't with coworkers.
We mentioned it to the guys and they decided on Thursday evening to go have some beers. I went to Hannah's and we ordered pizza and watched American Hustle with Shoebill the dog. The guys didn't stay out too late since they had work the following day but they did try to pull our legs a bit. Around 10 we got a text from Robin saying Dan was trying to convince him to go to Cape Coast (about 2-3 hours drive from Accra) and that it would likely "be a late night". This, of course, sent newlywed Hannah into a tailspin and had us wondering if we had created a monster. About 20 mins later they pulled in safe and sound and had a good laugh that we actually thought they might attempt the drive. I am assuming that they had a nice time since, on the ride home, they were already deciding on their next dude date location.
On Friday after work, I met Dan at Yasmina, a Lebanese restaurant. We had some dinner (and lots of leftovers) and went to the grocery store to get stuff for the weekend. Saturday was a lazy day. We walked to the farmer's market, which safe to say is a gross overstatement. It was really maybe 3-4 tables of vendors selling fruits and vegetables. Dan got some fresh baby spinach. They actually had bagels, which I must admit was tempting since I haven't seen a bagel in quite awhile. They also had some pretty fresh flowers which is somewhat uncommon.
We came home and hung out by the pool for a bit, ate some leftovers for lunch then took some naps. Completed the usual rotation of watching soccer, then a movie and Dan made a whole grilled chicken for dinner. Sunday will probably bring more of the same, which is perfectly fine by us.
To all the momma's out there (especially ours): Happy Mothers' Day!
