Things I love Thursday…
Things I am loving this Thursday…
- My purple boots- it was a rainy day today and when I went out to go to the city hall, bank and meet a friend for coffee I wore my purple boots and my feet/tights stayed all dry! Can`t go wrong with purple boots!
- Poinsetta plant from Shun – it was so sweet of him to buy it for me.
- Salt & Vinegar chips and eating them with my husband- Shun grew to love salt and vinegar chips in Australia although they don`t have his favourite brand at the international food shop I bought him some the other day and we sat enjoying them together the other night.
- Knitting again- had been awhile since I had done much knitting and now Goma-chan has a cute little hat. I am still trying to find a bootie pattern that can be made with the yarn I have- would much prefer seamless booties too if anyone knows any good patterns for a fairly thin yarn (since it was handspun I am not sure exactly of the “weight” of it)
- Knowing my mum will be here in just over three weeks- seven months since we last saw each other! I can`t wait to be able to chat with her in person.
- Discovering an English playgroup that is just 20 minutes away by train- Obviously it will be awhile before Goma-chan & I head for a playgroup but nice to know there is one going strong just over the Tokyo border. I am sure in a couple months time we will head to check it out.
- Getting all the hotels/ryokan booked and ready for my brother and his gf Gem- everything is done and they are all set now for the trip here in March/April. Will be so great to see them and have them spend some time with us as well! Hoping I can go with them for at least one of their day trips out of Tokyo- maybe Hakone/Fuji since a visit to Hakone is on my list of things to do!!!
- Positive results on my father`s recent medical tests- things are definitely improving there.
- Knowing that sometime in the next 2.5 weeks I will be holding my son in my arms for the first time- I am sure the Things I am loving the Thursday of that week will be all about him!
What are you loving this Thursday?

Ohhh they are all so great but the last one made me teary! sniff…. Here’s to the swift, painfree as possible arrival of goma-chan and that first cuddle!
Oh and Meg went to play group for the first time at 3 weeks old. Of course she didn’t actually play but I did.
Damn, now I need some S&V chips!! What kind can you get in Japan and what kind is your husband’s favourite? I really love the Samboy ones with the crinkles, seems to have more vinegar.
Heather- 3 weeks old huh? Will have to see how I go- bit cold early January and not really sure I want to take the baby far on the train! I think I will get more into it once my mum leaves but we will probably just hang around Funabashi until she goes back to Australia (mid Jan)
Kelly- Shun loves them! You can get the lays thins version here in Japan but Shun much prefers the crinkle cut type too- preferably Smiths! I am with you on samboy brand though but I love the BBQ ones best! I think crinkle cut makes all the difference for extra flavour!
