Tuesday 15th March - 1515

Suddenly, it is rather late in the day. We haven't been up that long, to be honest and soon it will be dark.

News of power outages are changing regularly, so we have no idea if there will
be a switch off tonight at 6pm or not.

The PM of Japan, has advised people to stay indoors. So, we went out to quickly walk Elbi and then to stock up on necessities.

We wore masks, out, which probably didn't do anything for us anyway apart from make us look silly and steam up our glasses.

I might look scared, but it was just because there were very few people out and I freaked, thinking we should hurry back.

We emptied the conbeeny of water, and some of the vending machines too and stocked up with extra nori (seaweed) so that we would have iodine. We also happen to have multi vits here with extra iodine, so , for now, we will be fine.

There is no point panicking and running our as that will only put us in the thick of it. The levels that are here are minimal and 200km from the plant means that we are safer than a lot of people realise.

My mother is stupidly hysterical, thinking I am in the most dangerous zone. It is a shame people cannot get their facts straight.

We have two fridges packed with food, drinks, not to mention the cupboards as well. The convenience store was empty in terms of breads etc...
But we got liquids, so we were all good.
We have bottles filled with water and we are heeding all the advice coming our way.

More later....xxx

Oh, and we have locked the doors, windows, even the shutters on the windows...
