Another day with a lot of playing with Coco-chan mixed with relaxing and eating. But in order to eat we had to buy food. So in the morning we went to the fish market in Tokorozawa. It is always fun time to go to the fish market. But today was mixed emotions. Fun but too crowded. We had to fight our way to get chu-toro (medium fatty tuna), kani (crab), and all the other things that we got for New Year’s dinner.

While Chie and her mother prepared the dinner I entertained Coco (and myself) by playing with him and by taking a long walk. Also this was to give Chie and her mother a chance to prepare the dinner without having to deal with a very cute dog that wants attention all the time. By 6 pm the dinner was ready and we all sat down to eat. Hand rolled sushi, crab, and miso soup.

After the dinner we watched some TV. Everything from some musical competition and K1, which is always broadcast on New Year. And again Coco-chan was so tired he fell asleep in the arms of Chie.
