Eventually I managed to go and get my hair cut today. I've been meaning to go for ages but never had the time. I'm never totally happy with it since it always seems so short but after a week I get used to it!

Tomorrow I have to take Keita to get all his school supplies. He already has the 2 bags that he needs since he will use kana's old ones but we still need to buy him the indoor 'slippers', gym shoes - if they have his size - and other things that I can't remember right now. Since they have bb practice tomorrow, the kids going into high school will leave part way, come in their uniform and then once they have tried on the shoes will go back to practice.

Last night Lisa brought the car home, stayed overnight and then met her friend from when she was in New Zealand (he is Japanese but has been in NZ for about 6 years or so) and went to see him off at the airport. They have always kept in touch and Lisa reckons he is the one of the best friends she has/will ever have. This time she was a lot tidier than normal and the house didn't feel as if a tornado had hit it, probably because she was only here overnight!

Aya has another 2 weeks to go at work and I think she is looking forward to leaving Tokyo. Her company has asked if she'll help out when the come to Osaka to recruit students though so she'll probably enjoy those few days and seeing her workmates again. Wonder how long she'll stay in Osaka before going back to the UK.......
