After a slow day hanging out at home, Sarah, Tim and Tom finally arrived around 3.30. I had been struggling to think of ways to entertain Emily, but once Tom was on the scene I barely saw her for hours. After a hot interval in the middle of the day, cloud built up, and it began spotting with rain just as the family arrived. It didn't come to anything though, and we were able to eat outside.
I am missing Nick more every day, so glad that we only have a fortnight to get through before we are reunited and begin our new life (though I still have trouble envisioning myself as a home owner in London). I confess that I am less homesick for Tokyo now and have stopped referring to it as home, but I am accutely aware that we are in limbo and need to move on, while enjoying daily life in the countryside. Emily is not learning much but can now distinguish between a blackbird and a wren and a bluebell and a violet.
