...hard life for a dog...

..isn't it?! Long Long is just as happy as we are about the drop in temperatures. He is such a good dog :) Days have been passing and soon we will be back in Melbourne. I'm so looking forward to it, family, friends, beach, steak and chips, chicken and chips, smell of sea, coffee and brekky in cafes, walks with no people and noise around, magpie warble, and skyline. Tokyo is such a great city with many, many things Melbourne does not have but in reverse Melbourne is a great city with many, many things that Tokyo doesnt have. I feel so lucky we can share the best of both worlds.

Moo is getting better and better and getting back to his chirpy little self. A sick child is stressful, especially the first time...but I guess there are many firsts to come so I better fasten my seatbelt. We have been doing lots of fun things involving leaves, paints, playdoh and acorns, walking in the fallen leaves and kicking/throwing piles of collected leaves, cooking chocolate cupcakes, homemade chicken nuggets, risotto, bike riding, beanie wearing and dog chasing. For me, I went out two nights in a row, yes two!! The most in 2 years!! Coincidentally the Mums groups I am part of had organised nights out one after the other. It was so nice to get the heels on and the lippy, after 7pm too :) In the next few weeks we have a Halloween costume party, a gymboree party (which is kind of a structured/supervised games type thing), sweet potato digging and of course some trips to the countyside to see the amazing Autumn show of colours. Life is lovely :)
