We decided to spend our afternoon at BIC Camera, a massive electricals emporium at Yurakucho. At least it was cool in there, though heaving, as ever. For once we managed to get everything we went for, and without too much stress. At last I shall have an oven, albeit a miniature one. Nick is relishing the prospect of a crumble and roast pork despite the season, though he may have to take second place behind Emily's dietary requirements.
Today's Jap-lish T-shirt said 'off with the seniors' '. Note the possessive apostrophe, leading me to speculate what part of the anatomy was to be lopped off. Women here can be such fashion victims, and just like at home the trend is for huge round sunglasses, which I think makes them look like bugs and is a bit silly.
Returning home we found that our road was closed to traffic for a street party. It's nice to see some community life, with local people drinking cans of beer and eating food from stalls, sitting at temporary benches under paper lanterns in the quadrangle across the way. Perhaps we'll go next year. We didn't make it home until 6.15, but I am becoming a lot more relaxed about Emily's routine now, though if we are late back it eats into our evening.
