Playground.
Oct. 6th, 2014 11:25 amSaturday was one of those early autumn days that wanted to be a summer day - blue skies and t-shirt weather. After the kid had been taken to his swimming lesson with the grandparents he wanted to take his bike out for a ride around the neighbourhood.

Kite!
I am so conditioned against flying a kite near powerlines that I could hardly watch. It is similar to eating food straight from the microwave - it needs to settle first.
The kite did constitute a health risk, but only because the string broke and it flew away. First it lodged in a tree and then it pulled free from that as well. Grandpa and the kids went looking for it and indeed managed to come back with the kite. Grandma stayed on the bench and chuckled.

Carousel!
I love the different colours on it - it has been repainted so many times and there are layers upon layers.
