My mood is now far less confident than this morning: fear is creeping in. Who was it said "all we have to fear is fear?"Winston Churchill? Well he was right. Fear makes us fearful.
Also the washing machine flooded. Just what I needed: a load of soapy wet clothes.
The girls have no school so they will leave tomorrow for early spring break in Sydney then Perth. I will stay to be with Steve and the dog (which I can't take anywhere because the Japanese then wouldn't let her back in, and no one here really wants the responsibility). Together we'll face whatever risks there are in the next few days (and most signs point to them being basically staying at home for a few days to avoid any contact with possible radioactive fallout). I will probably join them next week, once the situation in Tokyo is stable.
But it doesn't seem fair to subject the children to this terrible climate of anxiety, so they are flying out tomorrow. We will probably head to the airport well ahead of time, since trains are apparently not running to Narita.
