Our new apartment

We've had a quiet one as it's been a bit rainy here in Tokyo. We were going to go to this place called Odaiba today which is a big shopping and entertainment district but it's right on the coast so we figured with the tsunami warnings that perhaps it wouldn't a good idea, although it turned out the tsunami was only 30cm high in the end! Gary is feeling really tired anyway because he was up in the middle of the night watching the Six Nations rugby at some Irish pub nearby so he's catching up on some sleep now while Aoife has her lunchtime nap.

We got the keys to our apartment yesterday which is very exciting. It was good to go and have another look around as it reassured me that we'd made a good decision. It's really big and spacious and Aoife was having great fun running up and down the hallway. I'm looking forward to moving in although that won't happen for another three weeks as we're still waiting for all our stuff to come over by sea freight.

Victoria has invited me on a long weekend trip to Beijing with her and two other girls in a few weeks time so we booked our flights last week. It'll be over a long weekend here (like a bank holiday weekend) so we're going Thursday evening to Monday evening which means Gary will get to spend a full four days on his own with Aoife!

Well it's lovely and sunny outside now after a rainy start so perhaps we'll go for a little wander outside when Gary and Aoife wake up. I feel like all I've done today is slob about and eat a lot of bread and cake - bleurgh!
