The temporary Midtown rink was predictably crowded. They had special kids' double-bladed skates for hire. Emily seemed to quite like the experience but I'm not sure if she will want to try again. Maybe she will if we go on a weekday when it is quiet. It was very expensive though, considering I barely spent half an hour on the ice, and if I go without Nick I won't get any chance at all to skate on my own.
Emily had a meltdown on the way home. She refused to go in the buggy if Nick was pushing. I did not want to give in and push her, as she wished, so I gave her ultimatum to walk or ride. She ended up walking all the way home from Roppongi - maybe a mile and a half. It took a whole hour and though it was very cold I could not go fast enough to stay warm. Emily whinged and cried periodically but eventually we made it. She was absolutely fine once indoors, of course.
I was not surprised to find the scales put me back up at 63.6kg, since I had eaten and drunk heavily and foregone my run. Not terrible, though.
