Nothing much to report, but I wanted to mark the start of the Beijing Olympics. A very auspicious date: 080808.
Emily has been doing lots of standing practice this week and seems quite steady holding onto a surface. Of course she can't get up herself yet, so no need to start worrying about her navigating the room destructively yet.
We had an earth tremor at lunchtime; it started with quite a lurch but didn't last long. Apparently it was a 3, right below Tokyo at 40km deep.
After lunch I popped to Roppongi and then on to the supermarket. It's always like a trolley dash when I go to Nissin; Emily invariably gets grizzly, perhaps because I dawdle looking longingly at western foodstuffs. Walking back, I was just passing the Korean cuture centre when a nationalist rally came by in their sinister khaki vans blaring loudly. An old row about some disputed islands has flared up recently. Emily was upset anyway, being totally overheated from too long a stint in the buggy without coming out for an airing. They'd popped some dry ice in my shopping to keep it cold for the walk home, and I put some around the back of the pram to help cool her down. Unfortunately a bag slipped down and was touching her arm, and gave her an ice burn. Thankfully it didn't blister, though it was red for quite a while.
