31 October 2010

With Nick studying yet again I had arranged to meet Cliff and Charlize for a trip to Minato Mirai. The journey takes about an hour so I was glad that Emily had Charlize there to help it pass more quickly. It was a pleasant day and the two of them were happy to hang around outside Tully's while us adults had our caffeine fix. Then we slowly made our way into Landmark Tower for an early lunch at Sizzler all-you-can-eat buffet restaurant. Neither child ate very well (apart from bread rolls and dessert) and were rather distracted by the Halloween decorations.


We called it quits and went straight to Kid-O-Kid where they ran riot for an hour and a half. Most popular were the bouncy castle and the tumblers.


Charlize went into meltdown when we tried to prise them away; Emily was hardly happy about leaving but thankfully I avoided any tantrums. Charlize dropped off soon after we began the return journey so we jumped onto a quicker train while they headed back in a more leisurely fashion.

My evening run was OK, if not great. It was a trifle too warm for my liking. I only lost 0.2kg in the week but admit I have been rather lax so again did not deserve more. I need to kick this so-called diet up a gear if I am to hit the target of 10 stone by Christmas.
