Saturday in Meguro-ku photo diary

Today we slept in past 5 am for the first time in a week. Our first task was to go shopping for necessities to send to the quake and tsunami-striken areas where the government is distributing food but basic hygiene products, blankets, warm clothes, etc. are urgently needed. Fidelity will be collecting from employees and then Tokyo municipality will organise shipping and distribution.

 At first the saleswoman at the drugstore said we were limited to two packs of sanitary napkins, but I explained that it was a donation for Tohoku, so it was ok.

 We continued with a walk to Komazawa park so that Gin could play with some pampered poodles and dachsunds.

The yaki-imo guy who always hangs around the park (he has only 3 teeth in his bottom jaw, but has visited Switzerland)

The dog run

Children playing

Fewer joggers than usual, but maybe that's because it's the afternoon

Service stations are still closed

Cup noodles are available again. Not that I ever buy this processed junk.
