26 November 2009

A quiet day; just me and Emily. I've noticed a definite change in her. It seems like a switch has been flicked and she has become very cocky and bossy. She wouldn't let me stay close to her while she used a slide but emphatically told me 'no, mummy, sit down'!


Lately I have been aware that there is a huge number of cement mixers on the roads in Tokyo. Maybe I am noticing them because Emily now comments on them, or has the fiscal stimulus vastly added to the number of building projects under way?

After being chilled to the bone in Kagoshima, I was today back in a T-shirt five degrees further north as it was around 20C and balmy. Mind you, I seemed to be the only one to appreciate the change - the woman on the till at the supermarket rubbed my bare arm and enquired if I was cold, and most people were still in their winter garb.
