Another Friday, another nursery day. Aerobics is not getting any easier, but I'm not taking it quite so much to heart now when I can't get the complicated routines. I have a partner in crime who is always at the back with me, and we often have a laugh about how we are so uncoordinated.
Afterwards I popped to Shinjuku for more Halloween bits and pieces. I am still worried that our efforts are going to look very sparse, and amateurish. We are expecting upwards of 30 families, so the budget for decorations could probably have run a bit further. Back in Azabu, I saw a few American families walking down the high street in costume - it seemed very incongruous in mid-20s sunshine, and not one of their costumes was even spooky. I'm not sure why the Yanks have departed from the original concept of Halloween to turn it into a giant fancy dress parade.
At home for the remainder of the afternoon, I turned into a human whirlwind, with two lots of cooking on the go at once as I did some ironing and dashed off the odd email. Amazing what you can achieve in 90minutes if you put your mind to it!
On picking Emily up, I learned that yet again she had not slept. Admittedly, you would never guess that she had been awake more than 10 hours, perhaps slightly more prone to tears, but still singing as I put her to bed exactly 12 hours after she had woken!
