Pam's visit regrettably drew to a close. Emily and I escorted her to Narita, where we went out to watch planes taking off for a while before I bundled Emily back onto the return train after a quick and low-key parting. I'm glad that Emily is still too young to understand the concept of time and distance, as she would have been upset to know that it would be a long time until she saw her grannie again in the flesh. Thank heavens for Skype, I say.
I had been worried about the train journey home but it passed very quickly with the aid of a drawn-out snack and after I had the brainwave of getting the camera out and showing her the photos on the memory card. She is such a narcissist and loves looking at photos and video clips of herself. I managed to keep her awake until the walk home from Tamachi, when she could resist slumber no more. I transferred her gently into bed and put my feet up.
