In the morning we sought sanctuary from the humidity at Appi, with Jill and Sophia. Later, Emily returned to Kspace after missing the last 10 week term. Just as before, she was really nervous around the male staff. At first, we were the only ones in the class, and that must have made it even more daunting, though she had a happy reunion with their character, Kokomo. After a while a few other mums and tots joined us, but it was a fairly muted affair for all that.
In the evening we had a visit from Gary and Claire, the Taiwanese couple from Nick's MBA course in Durham. They were in Tokyo for a short holiday and had asked if they could drop round to see us. Unforunately Nick couldn't get out of work early, so they came at 9.30 and stayed until after eleven. It was nice to see them and be reminded of our happy time in the North East.
Overnight I was plagued by a sudden and severe attack of cystitis. It seemed to come from nowhere, though I am not surprised as I know I ought to drink more water, and often delay going to the loo if I am busy with Emily or on the move. I lost a couple of hours sleep to it and wasn't sure how I would deal with it in the morning, not having any sachets of remedy to hand.
