Nick was studying all day as his exam is very soon now, so I took Emily to Hon Shiba. Cliff and Roy brought Charlize; the girls enjoyed decorating sandcastles with leaves, flowers and stones, and also made plenty of use of the splash pools, with much screaming.

After lunch I took Emily to Ebisu on the bus. We walked up the hill to Garden Place, where we found that they had a display of windmills, with corresponding coloured flower displays.

We shared a delicious smoothie then went across the tracks to the playground until it was time to make the return trip home.

For my evening run, I managed to keep going for an hour this week, and even felt quite comfortable after the first ten minutes, though due to the heat and moisture I was keeping a slower pace perhaps. I crossed over Rainbow Bridge just as dusk turned to dark and the cityscape was lighting up. It was so exciting, though I could have done without the exhaust fumes. The wind was really strong up there, which took the edge off the humidity.
