I had my first haircut in 7 months, the last time being in Abergavenny. I was a bit nervous, as indeed I would be if I was trying a new hairdresser at home, though with the added uncertainty about explaining my requirements. Actually we managed fine - she had just enough English words so we could communicate, and I got to try out a few bits and pieces of Japanese.

Emily is making lots of new sounds and it is so sweet.

Though we were running very late, we continued with our planned outing to Odaiba. Emily was making up to two little boys on the boat over.

There was no time for a walk as we were ravenous, so we went straight to the picnic shelter. We looked out over the water as we ate and noticed fish jumping right out several feet. Nick and Emily went to investigate.

After an abortive attempt to get Emily to sleep, we went to the jidokan in the Aqua City mall; I left Nick there with her while I did a quick bit of shopping (for Emily, not me). Finally, I got her to feed/nap in the cafe afterwards.

We took the Yurikamome light railway back, as is our custom. It was now very overcast but luckily it didn't rain as we walked home from the station.
