I`m on the second week of a 3 week holiday as school is out for summer. I`m treating it as a delayed paternity leave. It`s been quite fun staying at home and getting to know Isabelle better changing nappies and learning which of her cries means I`m unable to control my bowel movements and which one means if you don`t feed me, I`ll explode with despair.

She`s fattening up well and looks like a baby version of me. I like it when I pick her up by the shoulders when she`s crying and she looks like a goblin I caught in the ground.

Of course I`m envious of my colleagues, one of whom is off on an as-yet-unplotted trip around Hokkaido and another who is jetting off to Tapei yet there are things I can be doing around Osaka that I want to check out such as the high school summer baseball tournament held in Koshien Stadium and get out and about taking some photos. I hope to put some new ones up soon.
