Today was a momentous day: Barack Obama's inauguration. A pity it was at 2am our time as I would have liked to watch as he gave his speech. At least he made it through the day without being assassinated! I hope he is as genuine as he seems, but I fear he has come to the fore at the wrong time as he is sure to fail in the face of the current economic climate, and the American people will be disillusioned after their bravery in choosing a minority candidate.
We went to meet Nick for lunch. Though it was grey we decided to stay outside as the rain was holding off, but wished we hadn't as it was rather cold. Poor Emily had to eat her lunch while strapped in the buggy, and her hands were almost purple by the time she'd finished and I could put her gloves on.
Afterwards we went to the first TMG meeting for about 6 weeks, held at Hamamatsucho jidokan. There were about 10 attendees, several new to the group. It was hard to keep watch on Emily and make small talk with strangers. There is a very nice English girl who I feel I could get on well with; her baby is 7 months but quite advanced.
