Nick was off work to revise for his upcoming regulatory exam, so Emily was really happy to have him at home in the morning. It was still a nursery day though.
Jo and I had coffee after we dropped the girls off, and while sitting outside the cafe basking in the glorious warm, clear air we saw the nursery kids on their way to the park for their morning outing. Emily was waving regally from the 'chariot'. I felt quite guilty to be spying on her like that, but it was very cute to see the little procession.
I went on to Shinagawa, where I joined Anna and her friend Glen to look over a print exhibition at the Tokyo American Club. I felt like such a philistine, pretending to look intently at some of them when I could tell straight away that I didn't like them. There were a few I would have liked to buy if the price was a bit lower, but it would be silly to buy for a future, unknown home anyway and we can't hang pictures at our current place. At least Anna and Glen were no more connoisseurs than I am and we had a bit of a giggle. After our flirtation with art appreciation we had a two hour lunch at a brasserie nearby. It is pleasant to spend time with people who don't have children and discuss wide-ranging topics.
Nick dragged himself away from his books to meet me in Ginza at the end of the afternoon. Emily was a little upset when she saw him come in at Ui, but by the time we got to the station she had started babbling and running about as usual.
