Mommy Brigade

We went on a morning walk around the Island today.  It is exactly a 5k greenbelt...unless you forget where you enter and miss your exit.  

It was gorgeous.  
About halfway through the walk I saw, coming towards me, three non-Japanese women, all pushing jogging strollers. One of the jogging strollers was a double and one lady was wearing an infant in a carrier in addition to pushing her stroller.  They were power walking and looked pretty formidable coming down the walk.  I named them the mommy brigade.  Perhaps, maybe, just maybe...I will be asked into their inner stroller circle sometime.  

I unpacked some today and took care of bruiser aka: sweet baby boy.  He is banging his head, falling all over the place. We went downstairs and joined CHIC.  CHIC stands for Community House and Information Centre. They have all sorts of classes, trips, and other stuff. I joined a play group that meets on Tuesdays. Tomorrow is a holiday so they do not have it, but next week they do.  There is quite a bit that I am interested in doing there and it is conveniently located in my building.  

For dinner I made a chicken recipe out of my Japanese cookbook.  We ate with chopsticks as I am trying to practice up.
