Drinking with My Mother

I tried to finish a bento painting. I went to Cafe Yamaneko, but it was closed for electrical maintenance, so I visited Komeda Coffee instead. I was able to concentrate on reading books for two hours. After that, I visited the yakitori bar Fratto and met my mom. It was my first time there. It had a good atmosphere and the food was delicious. We met some women who live in Seattle and Canada. We talked for a bit. It was a rainy day, and the rain gradually became heavier. We moved to the bar Ajia-tei. There were no other customers, so we talked a lot, including with the bar owner, Oki-san. Our conversation was very lively, and we laughed a lot. I paid for all of the drinks that day. It came to about 20,000 JPY in total. I hit the sack just after 1 am.
