The boys really enjoyed the play area at Hungry Jacks and they seemed so happy, considering the weather hasn't been that good for outdoors, this was the perfect thing for them.
Sophie was so tired from all the play that she slept soundly in the car on the way home.

It's been probably something like a month and a half that I've been offline, but after all the busy moving house back to Japan after our year in Italy, things have settled down and the boys seem happy. From today I am back in touch with all and I hope to answer your questions asap, hope I'm not too late.

Just a note to all my readers, the coming month of June is going to be pretty hectic. My in-laws arrive from Japan tonight and then later in June my family are coming from Australia...we have many trips planned and I doubt whether I will have the time to update and post items...but I will try my best not to leave you out!
Just to give you an idea, our trips will include Naples, Amalfi Coast, Capri Island, Venice and Rome, inbetween all of this we will cram in the sights of Turin and of couse plenty of shopping...

The ongoing saga with the leaking pipes continues...the plumber said he'd be here at 9am this morning, they got here around a quarter past, not a bad start. They had to then wait for the builder/carpenter guy to arrive, he's the one who has to break a hole in the wall. This guy got here at about 9:45, I guess he's running on MY-TIME schedule!

For the second time in the last 4 months we have water leaking from the pipe connected to the shower. The water is leaking out onto the garage on the ground floor and into the courtyard below. I called the landlord last Saturday as soon as we noticed the leak and he called the plumber right away. However, it has taken nearly a week for the plumber to call and arrange a time to come to our place and in the meantime we are dealing with sometimes 3 people a day ringing our doorbell to tell us or to ask us to fix the problem...

After the server we were using collapsed on us just after christmas last year, we have been in the process of deciding on a new alternative. Wataru seems to have found a solution and hopefully our problems should be over. I have resumed blogging and will be posting updates from the last several weeks. The previous problem with the category links should also now be fixed.
