18 November 08

We had a lunch date with Nick, and as it was very sunny and warm for November we went to the little play area outside, near his office. Emily crawled around getting grubby, and tried to climb up the slide a few times. We saw a praying mantis on the ground and had to make sure that she didn't try to grab it.


After Nick returned to work I took Emily to Shiba Koen park, stopping briefly to admire a Christmas tree beneath Tokyo Tower and some turning leaves at Zojoji temple.

At the park she got excited because there were lots of little dogs scampering around and plenty of her favourites, crows, flapping overhead.

We finished up at Hamamatsucho jidokan, where I was surprised to see Momo, Jean and some of their friends. Also, I had called Jill and she came along too. After an hour's fun, Emily would not nap, perhaps because she had been so stimulated. Though she was a bit upset on the walk home, amazingly she ate all her tea, had fun in the bath, and drank all her milk, before flaking out for more than 12 hours.

Nick so often tells me that the brown stuff is about to hit the fan, that I said he must feel like he's working at a sewage farm!
