I woke feeling really ill. It was like a hangover without the pleasure of the booze first: headache and nausea. I found it hard to do Emily's breakfast and play with her, so felt it necessary to make an appointment at the doctors and get it sorted out quickly. Luckily they could fit me in straight away, so I whisked Emily off there (she was most peturbed not to be allowed to walk from the apartment down to the street as usual). The doctor checked me over thoroughly, because she said as I so rarely get a headache we had to be sure there was nothing serious wrong. The conclusion was that it may be stomach flu (is that a scientific term?!) and she prescribed me paracetamol and nausea tablets. After one dose of each I felt much improved and we were able to meet Nick for lunch as planned.
Afterwards we went to Therese's house for a meeting of the TMG co-ordinators. She is a real Japanophile, having been here more than 11 years, and their house was full of nice pieces of furniture and fabrics. I wish we had space (and budget) to collect a few decent mementos - perhaps when we are eventually leaving the country we can try to pick up a few items.
