I took Emily to the children's playplace in Shibaura in the afternoon, where I'd arranged to meet Momo, who was back from a trip to Italy to introduce Mikele to his family there. I'd also mentioned it to Jo and Kara, and a mum I hadn't met yet called Katherine. Her boy is two and a half - already wearing clothes for a five-year old! Typical American build, with the most piercing blue eyes. We played for a couple of hours; Emily was on good form, smiling and waving a lot and 'shouting'.
In the evening, a thunder storm came right overhead. I went out on the balcony to watch, but was almost afraid as the sky was lit by searing white light directly above. I am pretty sure that a fork hit somewhere only half a mile away, as I thought I could make out some smoke drifting afterwards, and the deafening crack was immediately after the lightning. I definitely saw a hit a couple of miles away on the SONY building in Shinagawa. All very exciting, but a bit close to home.
