16 April 2009

The sunny weather continues, though a cool breeze makes it comfortable. Still, I am getting through two T-shirts a day already, and wondering whether my severely limited wardrobe can cope with the long, steamy summer ahead.

Another Japlish example on a T-shirt today: 'I Unconcern'. I suppose the designer meant 'I don't care', but the electronic translator let them down.

After lunch we went to meet Jo, newly-returned from Aus, and Bettina at Kyu Shiba Rikyu. The garden was looking lovely, with the neat, round azalea bushes providing splashes of red, white and pink, and random scatterings of violets and yellow pimpernel on the grassy areas. We didn't get much further than a hundred metres of the entrance as the kids were happy pottering around among the bushes and trees and watching the lazy carp swim slowly by. Emily quickly ate her snack and then tucked into Isy's as well. I suppose it is not fair to expect her to go from 11.30 to 5.30 with only a handful of fruit.
