Where is autumn/winter!?!

Today Joey and I went for a walk to Tenmonkan to check out the new Starbucks there. I was really excited to find out that they were finally opening a new branch of Starbucks there because it mean that the next time I go for Steak with my girly fellow gaijin friends, we won`t have to go over to Amu Plaza to get coffee afterwards, the new Starbucks is right around the corner from our favourite restaurant!!! It is also within walking distance if I am talking Joey for a long walk so that cheered me up as well!! I have to admit to being a little disappointed though because I had imagined a cosy coffee house with comfy sofas but actually it is very minimalist and fancy and I couldn`t imagining curling up there with a coffee and a good book but as it is in the busiest part of Kagoshima city, maybe that is the point!! On the way back from Tenmonkan I was struck by how hot it is today! It is hard to believe that it is the middle of October! I am not complaining because warm sunny weather is definitely better than cold rainy weather! There was no news from D yesterday about the future of his school. The head of the BOE did come but no-one knows why. The suspense is killing me!! Joey threw up again in the middle of the night. I am not really sure what to do. For some reason I haven`t taken him to the doctor yet, I guess it is because he is genki in every other way so I am not too worried about it. I am beginning to suspect that the problem is that he is nursing for comfort during the night but his stomach doesn`t actually need what is going in so it is getting rid of it. I am going to try not to nurse him and give him water and see if that improves the situation.
