Yoko was not feeling well and wanted some peace and quiet last Sunday so I took the boys out for the day with my good friend, Jodi to see the local baseball team, the Indigo Socks. One of their players Andy Utting an Aussie who frequents the local occasionally, kindly arranged free tickets to the game for us.
The game was at the ‘ugly stadium’(actually ‘aguri’, presumably short for agriculture) in Anan, about an hour’s drive south of Tokushima. Although the weather was bad in the city it was ok at the game until just near the end. Andy played really well, hitting two home runs but unfortunately his team-mates failed to add any more runs, the Socks going down 4-2 to the Kochi Fighting Dogs.
After the game we went to a park by the stadium. While I pushed Syd in his pram Reni raced Jodi to the playground (and claimed victory!). The boys had a terrific time playing there, riding a slide together, climbing and swinging.
