16 August 08

In the afternoon we went to Meiji Jingu for a late lunch at the restaurant in the park. Not bad fare for such a touristy venue, and spacious and smoke-free, which makes it a prime place to meet other mums and babies. While we were inside it came on to rain torrentially, though it was short-lived. We walked on to the shrine for a quick gander before the next thundery shower came through. As always, it looked attractive: the trees very stately and the shrine precincts simple but impressive.


Emily was on good form, though shrieking embarrassingly on the train. It's hard to believe that she isn't crawling, as every day this week she has been on the brink of it. Eating is getting better, and judging by other mothers' tales we are getting off lightly as she usually finishes what I give her and hasn't turned her nose up at anything yet.
