I would be lying if I said I wasn't getting a bit concerned as we had another earthquake at 8am, which lasted more than a minute, though perhaps a little less strong than the other two this week. Tokyo sits on the boundary of three Tectonic plates and is widely believed to be due for a very big tremor any time. There is also a separate risk from another zone a hundred and fifty miles south west, which is the one responsible for this cluster of quakes. We have an emergency bag in the hall cupboard and 20 litres of water outside the front door, but I feel woefully ill-prepared all the same. There's only so much I can carry in addition to Emily, should I need to evacuate, though I'm sure I would have super-human strength with all the adrenalin.
In the afternoon we met Minako and Haru at Meguro pool. It was very busy, with quite a few dads there since it is O-Bon week (Buddhist festival of ancestors). Emily had been getting a bit grouchy, but as soon as Haru came she perked up and was chasing him and laughing. Yet another boyfriend!
