What a change overnight! It was raining when we first got up, and stayed overcast the whole morning. I don't think it topped 27C all day.
After lunch we went to the pool at Meguro again, this time escorting Jill and Victoria, neither of whom had been before. I was amazed when we arrived to find that there was no-one else in the pool. Yesterday there must have been more than 30 children plus their mums. I soon found out why. After a morning without sunshine to warm it, the water was actually very cool; Emily and I both sucked in breath when we first got in, though we quickly acclimatised. It was great to have the pool just for the three of us. Jill and I took our little ones for a few goes down the slide; the rather stern lifeguard looked on and I thought that perhaps adults weren't supposed to use it as it ends in water only 50cm deep. Maybe he cut us some slack since no-one else was around. Soraya (15 months) amazed us by doing doggie paddle several times. Try as I might I couldn't get Emily to stay afloat and kick her legs. I wish I could get some pictures there, but don't want to take the camera into such a wet environment, and can't leave Emily unattended for long enough to take snaps anyway.
