Overnight rain had passed leaving clear skies and there was a very warm breeze from the south. It must have been more than 20C at times. Emily was in nursery and after we dropped her off I took Mum to Kyu Shiba Rikyu where we spent a good hour and a half. The turtles are now back after a winter absence. I don't know if they hibernate, or are removed somewhere warmer for a while. The garden looked wonderful, despite the lack of cherry blossom.
We made our way home as I had lots of chores to take care of, then we took the train to Hibiya Park. We strolled there briefly, stopping to watch a graceful heron trying to catch fish in the pool, then carried on through Ginza before picking Emily back up.
She was very genki but I felt really stressed for some reason (probably PMT). My BP was higher than it has been in ages and it must have worried Mum to see me lose it like I did. I was trying to get tea ready and had too many things on the go at once, plus I am very worried as Emily has begun stammering in the last day or so. I managed to calm down by bathtime though.
