Today Aya dragged me shopping with her to buy a new summer weight suit for her interview on Monday. In the end, most of them were exactly the same as what she already has so she settled for 2 tops instead (me buying of course!)
It is really hot and I was quite thankful when she decided that we could come home - I hate shopping at the best of times but in this heat it's even worse. She is still getting over her cold so I think even she was happy to get back into the car. On the way home we stopped at a family restaurant and both had curries while she talked about her boyfriend. We have decided that the 3 of us will go out for a drink once the moving is over so that he can meet me first and hopefully be a bit more relaxed when the time comes for him to meet Setsuo!!
Tomorrow I have cancelled my afternoon class because I have to go to Kana's school for a meeting. All they consist of is the mothers talking about what they've heard from their own kids and then the teacher adding his input. I'd be much better off teaching but since I don't go to the others (when they all chat over lunch) I always feel that I should make the effort for these ones. Ho hum, and the packing still needs to be done.........!

I'm not a shopping fan either, but I wish my daughter would say "mum, let's go shopping". I think she's at the stage now (12 ) where shopping with Mum and Dad is NOT the thing to do....at ripe old ages of 38 we've already been deemed 'old fogeys' and have to stay out of sight at all times!
Just wondering...what part of NZ is your daughter in?

Hi Fiona
Kana is in Geraldine (South Island) so we'll stay with my sister in Auckland for 4 days, fly to Geraldine for 4 days and then take Kana back to Auckland for another week before flying home. I've been to Auckland before but it'll be the first time to visit the South Island - it's supposedly very cold just now which might be nice after the heat in Osaka.
Haha about the old fogeys. I've been through that stage too!
