Yesterday I went to a fun farm theme park place with my boys (inset day).
In the giant wooden play castle area there was a sword imbedded into a block of concrete.
My boys insisted I try & draw the sword out.
Readers : the concrete block was not actually attached to anything
(Me: grunting)
(Grating noise as I suddenly swing a concrete breeze block attached to a steel imitation sword at some 4 year olds)
(Screaming)
Also bought a Diet Coke from the shop fridge & when they told me the price I actually said
“I’m only getting one?” So that’s me well on the road to understanding how the economy works again
I went to fishersfarmpark.co.uk yesterday & I can heartily recommend it for kids 8 & under. Perfect mix of little rides, animals, trampolines etc. They cram a lot into a relatively small area. Also at moment they seem to be restricting numbers so it doesn’t feel crowded
Big lover of the tiny baby bunnies there at the moment & the specially developed “look but don’t touch” cages around them.

I’m actually big in favour of more news channels & journalism. Even GBnews, if they can hold authority to account & do actual journalism rather than culture war bait then this is important. However:
I will always remember first time I took an American to Amsterdam for a bit of a night out:
“Dude, I gotta ask - why are all these women dancing in their underwear in the windows?”
(I raise a quizzical eyebrow)
“How do you mean?”
“Why do it? Do you put tips under r the door?”
“They.... they are sex workers. Prostitutes. Women, men & other of the night. This is a red light district. Hence the red light theme.”
My weird dream last night:
My 2 year gets excited there’s a squirrel. Sure enough a big bushy tailed squirrel is sat on the fence at the end of the garden.
“That’s funny” I think, “that squirrel DOES look big”
The squirrel hops down from the fence, slowly crawling, then walking
I realise as it advances that in fact, it’s a very big squirrel, that increasingly instead of moving like a squirrel, its starting to look like Ray Winston in a squirrel costume
My 2 year old is very excited, but I, however, in this dream, am now looking through the patio door glass at a squirrel that’s easily 7 feet tall, excluding its bushy tail.
