Sharon asked us to go for wander around Roppongi Hills in the afternoon. It was scorching so I had to shade-hop on the walk there. The tower and surrounding complex house a host of high-end boutiques and plenty of cafes and restaurants. On the way in there's a pleasant pond and landscaped garden of rocks, trees and shrubs, with lots of water-lilies in bloom.
We visited a couple of baby shops, where I tried to find anything with a price tag that was within our budget. I think Emily can manage without a Dior bottle or Dolce & Gabanna bib. What is the point in spending so much on clothing that they grow out of so quickly, unless you have a few million yen burning a hole in your pocket?
Bypassing the exclusive shops without prices, we did actually find a Zara branch, which I noted for future reference, not being well-funded enough for a spending spree today. I really must get my own bank account set up, as otherwise I need to ask Nick in advance for some money.
We sat by the pond for a while before leaving, and Sharon confessed that she is not very sociable; of course, I told her I wasn't either, but had to make an effort for Emily's sake. I'm glad that she feels I am a suitable companion, especially given the similarity in age between Emily and Taylor. It's a shame that she is going back to work soon.
