We went up to the local park in the morning. It was blisteringly hot even before 10am. I must get Emily some decent toys for the sandpit, as she gets upset by me constantly telling her to give back other kids' stuff.
After lunch, Jo called to ask us to go to Hon Shiba. By 3.30 there was cloud cover, and it felt quite acceptable there, especially as the mainline tracks make a corridor for the wind to blow along. They had fun in the sand with Isy's toys, then went in the pool. Emily hit Isy with a toy and then started laughing manically, even though Isy was crying. I was very annoyed by her reaction.
We saw Silvia there, and I felt bad for not keeping in touch with her. But I have made so many acquaintances in the last year, and have had to let some fall by the way and concentrate on people I have a bit in common with and gel with. With friends disappearing on me every few months I can't afford to be too choosy though. The most important thing is that Emily has plenty of playmates. Still, Silvia hadn't been in touch with me either, so there's no need to beat myself up about neglecting her.
