A few degrees cooler than the unseasonably warm day yesterday, but still really pleasant, so we walked over to Shiba Koen park after lunch. Emily spent an hour and a half walking around and climbing up things, so she was whacked by the end. We took it in turns to play with her, so at least got a little relaxation in between.
The plum grove was now in full bloom, and they've had to put up barriers to stop all the amateur photographers trampling the undergrowth in order to get close-ups with their huge cameras. As you would expect in a technologically-advanced country like this, every other person has an up-to-the-minute digital SLR that makes our compact 10x zoom look like a toy from a Christmas cracker.
Emily is starting to develop a real sense of rhythm. She has a Japanese song book and she claps and waves her hands in the air to the music; also whenever we put on the stereo. Nick had her 'dancing' to Eminem (hope she wasn't listening to the lyrics).
