After the weekend of sickness Tuesday was a good day, we headed out on the hunt for a pair of work shoes for Benn, as I (oops) threw his old ones away and the new ones are not due to be delivered until Saturday with our air shipment... after finding some nice and relatively reasonably priced shoes we visited Yodobashi Camera again (i think this might be Benn's favourite shop!) had a really nice lunch out and took a wander through the Nissan headquarters to see all the cars. We even managed to find the 100 yen shop we had been looking for last week in minato-mirai.
Wednesday real life started, getting up early so Benn could go to work and daughter 1 could meet everyone at school. School is a 30 minute walk up the hill which was lovely in the sunshine. daughter 1 loved school so left her there painting for an hour whilst i took daughter 2 to the park to play and when I returned she didnt want to leave! luckily they said she could start Thursday so not long to wait. A stroll back down the hill after school we found Don Quijote, an amazing store full of all sorts of household bits and pieces, and even managed to pick up a pair of crocks, as indoor shoes for school, in Motomachi for 300yen (£2.30!)
The afternoon saw another trip to the ward office to collect the paperwork the relo guy forgot to tell us we needed and another trip to the most expensive supermarket in the world, maybe!
Thursday... another walk up the hill to school, today in time for the start of school at 8.25!!! OMG I am never going to be on time.... and from Aug she'll start at 8am, ouch :oS
The Mums at school were all really friendly and invited me to join them at starbucks for a coffee. Later a trip to the country club with one of the other Mum's (although getting daughter 2 and the car seats down in the lift is not an experience I want to repeat!) and a relaxing afternoon with the girls eating popcorn... time to make dinner I think...
