Emily's fourth visit to the nursery. She cried as I put her down but went in to the playroom and didn't even notice me leave. When I returned three hours later, several kids were lined up behind the gate like hopeful puppies at Battersea; Emily cried a little when she saw that it was me, but soon recovered.

It has come to my notice that many Japanese, especially older women, wear synthetic fibres even in this heat. Do they not have any sweat glands?! It makes me feel ill to even think about wearing nylon at 35C.
