One of the in-between days

28 December. The original plan was to go for a family walk today but then Sarah saw there was some weather outside and decided we should stay in. I took Adam for a brief fall off his new scooter, then just to prove it was skill rather than luck he fell off his bike twice as well. After that I agreed with my Domestic Manager that we were better off indoors.

The boys occupied themselves by playing with each other's Christmas presents and jumping up and down on me. The result is that both sides of my ribs are now injured and I've had to defer taking the washing machine to the tip yet again. I did replace the front brake blocks on my bike - please be sure to mention this to the coroner if my test ride down the hill tomorrow doesn't go quite according to plan.

Andrew's money-saving tips #2: To reduce your transport costs in these times of expensive petrol, make sure your friends always visit you.
