After a couple of lessons where I actually felt like I was able to keep up, in this week's Japanese class I was back to feeling slow and lacking confidence. Other people just seem to have a much better vocabulary than me, and it is hard to identify what a sentence is about with one or two key words missing.
In the afternoon there was a freezing and strong wind. We had planned to take Emily to Hon Shiba but she got very upset as soon as we went outside (still scared of wind after she got blown over in a typhoon ages ago), so we changed our minds and took her to play indoors at Appi instead. She had a great time, especially in the play kitchen. She gave Nick a plate with a piece of toy cake and said 'Happy Birthday Daddy': I have been teaching her to sing it ready for his special day.
In the evening Erna came and Nick and I went out for dinner. We tried out a Turkish restaurant in Nagatacho. The food was really tasty, though there was not much atmosphere with only ours and two other tables occupied (that area is the political district of Tokyo and very quiet at weekends). On returning, Erna said that Emily had woken while we were out but she went in and was able to settle her quite quickly. I don't think Emily was fully aware as she didn't mention it at all afterwards.
