A beautiful, if hot, day. The social whirl continues: Emily and I had a lunch invite to Bettina's. It's great to be meeting so many mums and babies but quite wearing, though I know that sounds ungrateful.
When we left the station at Yoyogi Uehara I spotted Jo, the Aussie I met at the Arisugawa event last week. She and I navigated through the quiet pleasant streets to the flat. The area had quite a village feel to it, and was mainly given over to houses no more than three storeys high. Bettina and Steve have a nice ground floor flat with a good-size deck outside. We found that Tracy and Lottie were already there. Lottie didn't look any the worse for her viral infection and seemed bigger than Emily, if anything.
The babies were all good as gold while we had our pot-luck lunch. Emily rolled over a couple of times again. Tracy had made a divine Brie and fig salad, and Bettina a quiche, so I vowed to widen my repertoire. Tracy had to leave quite early, but Jo and I stayed and the three of us walked back to Harajuku station through Yoyogi park. Emily became upset, and I was worried that she was dehydrated, so gave her a few sips of water in the cap of a water bottle. She seemed happier after that, so I think in the really hot weather I need to give her some more often. It turned out that Jo lives really near to us, on the other side of the tracks at Tamachi, so we can meet up regularly.
