L phoned this morning to say that they didn't go to Tokyo after all which was a relief! She sounded as if she was still half asleep so I didn't ask why they had decided against it. It was probably just an idea that someone had come up with and which sounded good at the time.
Today I took the 'pattern' (by pattern I mean handwritten and handdrawn) for one of the outfits Ka needs made for the bunkasai. The woman in the shop said they could do it but it would cost 8000 yen! I wouldn't mind so much but it is only one of the two she needs and both will be worn for about 10 minutes tops. Still, paying the money saves me a lot of hassle. When L was the same age and I had to make hers (I was given the material and pattern 24 hrs before she needed it finished!) it took me and Setsuo's sister from afternoon until 4am to get it done so I reckon 8000 is still cheap! I hate even sewing on a button so faced with an outfit sends me into a panic!
Now that I've started this blog, I realise I really need to buy myself a camera so that I can start uploading pictures too. Whenever photos have to be taken, I let Setsuo do it but I really need to get with it and go digital. Even K knows how to work the camera better than I do. If we have any time on Sunday, I'll maybe go and have a look at some and then maybe, just maybe, I can start adding photos.
