26 October 2009

Typhoon number 20 of the season is in the Pacific off to the east of Japan, with winds rotating from the north, so temperatures were down a lot today: maybe to as low as 15C. Staying in is not an option, however, so Emily and I went out to meet Julia and Charlize at Appi jidokan. Note to self: about time I got a pair of wellies. I am fed up with squelchy shoes and wet trousers. Boots have come on a bit since I last bought some; I've seen some quite jazzy ones around, and lots of women here wear heeled ones though that's not for me.


Later, we battled through awful driving rain to Shibaura jidokan. I coaxed Jo and Isy to come over - easier now that they live literally across the road from there. The two played sweetly together; being at nursery in tandem has brought them closer. They enjoyed lying on the baby rockers together, though I was worried that Emily would break them now that she is so hefty.


We had wee number three in the potty before bathtime. Julia lent me a storybook about a girl using a potty and Emily sits on there happily while I read it to her, which is sometimes long enough to produce a tangible result!
