It was a very hot and sticky afternoon, so we decided to stay close to home and plumped for Kyu Shiba Rikyu gardens. It was hard to dissuade Emily from throwing small stones at the carp and turtles in the lake; generally though, she is easier to handle all the time because she understands so much of what we say now.
On the way home, while I rushed around Nissin for some essentials (pizza and cheesecake!), Nick played with her at the playground nearby.
There is a general election here next week, and as we neared the apartment a minibus drove by with yet another party on the campaign trail. This time is was the 'Happiness Realization Party'. Three women were waving enthusiastically from the bus as it pootled along, all wearing white gloves, which in the UK would be an affectation, but is commonplace here.
