19 August 08

I feel slightly embarrassed having a cleaner when I am not a working mum, but it was good to have Erna start today and have the whole apartment clean in one fell swoop. She's really sweet, and Emily likes her, so will gladly consider using her for babysitting from time to time.

Having more free time is dangerous; especially when we have just found out after 6 months that we do actually have cable TV and can watch BBC World and some footie channels. Uh-oh.

We spent the afternoon at a drivers licensing centre, applying for Japanese licences. Luckily, as hoders of GB licences we don't have to take any tests except checking our eyesight. Thank goodness the Japanese drive on the same side as us. It was tedious spending so long there with Emily, and the place was more like a dreary sixties NHS hospital than anything else, all beige paint, lino and corridors.
