In the morning we had a playdate with Mia, going to their apartment for the first time. The girls played quite well alongside each other and did some crafts too. We moved on for our lunch date with Nick, which we were able to take outside. The hour always flies so quickly but it's better than nothing, just about. As she had woken at 6am, Emily was tired and actually asked to go home for a sleep, though I had intended to take her straight round to Julia's. It was the first time for a nap at home since April and it felt really odd to be able to relax with a coffee and use the PC, though of course I knew the downside would be a late evening instead.
As we were still going to see Charlize I had to go in and wake Emily after she'd had an hour and a quarter. We walked up to Arisugawa park and were supposed to meet Julia but we were there an hour before they made it, as they had first been to the doctors, and by then it was getting dark. Not that that stopped the girls from having fun, but after half an hour we had to call it quits and head home for tea. In any case, I found the mozzies there really terrible as it was a moist day and they always hang around under the trees there.
The idea of making a house purchase fills my every waking moment. I am so worried that the two properties we are particularly interested in will go off the market before I have a chance to get back and see them. Also I can't believe how nice they are for the price, which makes me concerned that there is something amiss with them. They have both been on the market over a year, which is slightly suspicious. It would be great to be back home though, even if only for a fortnight. We need to act now while prices are low and Nick has a job so can he get a mortgage! Personally I doubt his boss will give him the push even if he fails the exams, as he still gets positive feedback from various quarters, but maybe he will not get much of a bonus. With exchange rates as favourable as they are it would be wonderful to have one more good bonus to send back in sterling.
