Check out my cousins re-committment to blogging on aweebee - see links, I'm too tired to link it right now - she'll make you cry with her first post and wish you lived in SanDiego in the other!
In response -my daughter asked to go to the playground yesterday - we haven't brought her much this winter. So I realised I should, and it was sunny, and I did a deal to get her to go to the supermarket.
The playground she seems to like best is our local community one - it had a good spinny basket slide,but that got burnt by vandals, so they also took down the platform wiht the suspended wire you can slide on, don't know what it's called.
The playground bit is fenced in but is always full of broken bottles and various knacker-drinking nasties. There were twelve year olds with cans one day, scuzzy pre-teens pouring cheap cola on the slide another.The play tiles are peeling up, bits of the play things go missing, it's so scummy. I don't know why she likes it so much but she does!
And her twenty minutes there in hte freezing cold, before it filled up with mad little boys in their dark grey tracksuit uniforms, fresh out of school and giddy with pent up aggression and energy, made her so happy and grateful, I also felt awful for not bringing her more often.
