Amazingly, Emily woke at 2am and said she wasn't tired. I took her into bed with us and she napped until four but then was definitely awake. There was no way I was getting up then but I could only hold her off until 5am. We had a massive breakfast and played until the others stirred. As dawn approached it was lovely to hear the birdsong; they don't seem to have an equivalent of the blackbird in Japan. We had breakfast number two with the others. Later, as it was wet, Fi and I took the kids to Asda. In the coffee shop we were surrounded by obese people and I regretted the hasty purchase of a brownie. In the store, as expected, I was like a child in a toy shop, marvelling at the choice and low prices.
Emily and Fern went crazy in the aisles since the on-site creche was closed. It continued to rain until about 4pm, at which point we took them for a stroll round the local park and they burned off some of their pent-up energy. Despite her incredibly early rising, Emily made it through until about 7.30 before crashing to sleep.
