23 September 2010

Another national holiday, for the Equinox (though why it is the 23rd and not the 22nd is a mystery to me). Nick has had a hard week at work as the boss is away, and on top of that is doing three late evening tutorial sessions online at home, from 10pm to 1am. Therefore, his sleep deprivation is worse than usual so I let him stay in bed until ten, when I let Emily loose on him.


It was a wet morning and registering only 25C. By the afternoon it had dropped to just 20C; a full 12C drop from yesterday. As Nick needed to relax and to study, I had arranged for a playdate with Lottie, so Emily and I took ourselves off to Yoyogi Uehara in the downpour. The girls always seem to get on very well, even though they only see each other erratically. Emily was very picky over her lunch, and when it was time to leave she played merry hell because she was watching a film. The rain had relented for a while but picked up just as we left, so by the time I go to the station I was drenched all over again.


Emily really wound me up today. I think it is mainly due to the strain since we returned here of her being so clingy and wanting me to do everything with her. I'm sure she wasn't that bad before we went.
