October Fest

Another lovely sunny/busy day. C woke up in a very good mood so we took the bike and zoomed to Nissen where she no longer likes to sit in the trolley but prefers walking around the isles inspecting the produce and throwing anything with Anime characters especially kitty chans into the basket. I did a massive shop and got them to deliver although was peeved to find out they have stopped the free delivery and now charge 600JPY. Anyway its still worth the no hassle of slapping it all back hanging off the bike.

We rode up to Hiroo as C had been asking to see the "tortles" since she woke up. We had a little romp around the park and bumped into hippy mum ( very nice) but kids are called "Arrow and River"...

After and hour C could hold off turtle watching no more so we took the bike down the massive slope to the duck pond where she went nuts at the hundreds of turtles basking on the rocks in the pond. She loved it when the baby ones would jump into the water it was quite good really even I was impressed by the sheer number of turtles in there its a turtle hotel.

We switched to full power to get up the National Azabu Hill and then hit La Boheme for pasta lunch. It had been a while so c was happy to see her favourite waitress who knew what she wanted before we sat down (Melanzane A set Omori!). They are so nice in there even though it looks like a nuclear explosion by the time we have finished..

She was doing nodding dog on the bike on the short ride home and just managed to get her in and into bed. Cecelia turned up around 12:30 so I legged it down to the nail shop and did the "colour nomi" just repaint no manicure, on my toes and got the electric blue for bargain price of 1200JPY. I felt a bit sorry for the poor lady having to touch my hooven feet.

When I got back it was 5 past 2 and Cecelia had got C up and was already playing house with her in the big plastic box with wheels on that she loves. She wouldn't let any of the teletubbies in only her dog and Cecelia didn't have a pass either. We did a quick turn around and back on the bike to Music together class which she loved as usual, and then we came back so she could play with CC some more. Around 4:30 we kissed CC byebye and headed for Hibiya Park to meet Cliff from work at the open air German Fest with om papa music and lots and lots of sausages and German beer. It was not too bad as it was still early and people had not started to fall down when we arrived. We sat next to the lake and all tucked into bratwurst and kartoffel. I took extra fruit for C who ate everything in site and still complained loudly the whole way home on the train that she needed "Snak" snacks.. I gave in and gave her some animal butter cookies.

We also got to skype with Jane and Thea which was great as C had been looking at pictures of them during hamani season and was over the moon to be able to see her in the flesh. She spent most of the conversation kisisng the screen. Will have to speak with Jane after she has gone to bed so we can talk for more than 3 minutes next time.

Cliff is mega busy with work again so looks like and early night for moi.
