As it was Bettina's birthday, Jo had invited us to her place for lunch. She made the main course and I took a very naughty baked chocolate cheesecake (a Delia recipe, of course). Bettina brought a half bottle of bubbly, which was very welcome. This was the first time I had been to Jo's apartment on Shibaura Island. It was about the same size as ours, but lighter and a bit more modern in decor.
Jo and Bettina know how frustrated I have felt by Emily's slow progress, so they were delighted when she toddled in from the hall. She is now, officially, a toddler, I think, as she is walking more than crawling. She and Tim wasted no time in exploring and rummaging through Isy's toy basket, though as always there were lots of tussles over the same toy. It was a really pleasant afternoon, and I felt a bit guilty having a nice time while Nick was slaving away.
