As it was sunny again, we popped out for lunch with Nick. It has been some time since I gave Emily her lunch out, and it proved to be a bad idea as she hardly ate any of it, being distracted by other children playing and wanting to crawl around. Feeling fed up, I changed my plan to walk over to Roppongi Hills and set off for home. On the way I dropped in at Sharon's as I had a birthday gift for Taylor, but unfortunately she was out and he was asleep so we couldn't stay (I had been hoping she could play there for a while, to break the walk home). I was about to go home when I decided to call in to check out the jidokan at end of our road. It is not very good in terms of quality of toys and general condition, but at least it's somewhere close at hand to take Emily for a change of scene now and again, and the staff were really effusive with her.
