While Emily was in Ui, I spent the best part of 6 hours scurrying around Shinjuku and Azabu trying to buy stuff for the TMG Halloween party this weekend. Somehow I have managed to go from begrudging 'volunteer' (I was asked to do it) to chief organiser. Admittedly I am in a better position to do so, as Helen has two children to manage and lives out in the sticks, and Steph is working. I wish I had researched it sooner though, as a lot of the cheap 100 Yen shops (Japan's Poundstretcher) were nearly out of Halloween stock; indeed, many shops are now putting out their Christmas decorations.
At least I managed to pick up a pair of half-price wellies while I was shopping though: beige with polka dots and faux-suede trip. Tres chic! Bring on the rain.
My efforts took so long that I didn't get to the gym though, and I felt very out of shape as a result, though in truth I had been on my feet nearly all day. If only that was it, but there is still mountains to do before Sunday. With a number of Americans coming I am keen to do a reasonable job of it because they take the whole festival so seriously. It's going to be very amateurish though, I fear, with the small budget we are working on, but, heck, we are a non-profit organisation after all.
