3 March 2009

In Japan, the third of March is called Hina Matsuri, or Girls' Day. On this day, people put out displays of dolls in traditional Heian court dress, like this...



Emily and I had lunch with Nick then went to Julia's to play with Charlize. She had a lovely doll set that looked to be antique, and I resolved to make sure Emily has one for next year's festival. I'm not sure if it was the eel that disagreed with her, but Emily was not herself at teatime, and was very lacklustre. I put her to bed a full hour early and thought I detected a bit of a high temperature. We'll see what the morning brings.
