I want to ride

My first official day of doing nothing much, and I handled it quite well for me. Fresh air quota was achieved by a bike/pram to the playground. Everything was too frozen to climb or swing on, but we had just as much fun following all the rabbit and bird tracks in a Bear Hunt stylee. The afternoon was spent trying to sneakily try to wrap presents for the kids in the next room....Summer kept racing through shouting *ma present ma pink paper ma not 'loud, got wait father christmas...* which was highly distracting as I tried to prevent Glamour Barbie from popping out of the paper. She then got upset about me "snipping the princers" (ie princesses) on the wrapping paper, which led to a strange activity of me carefully cutting out princer-princesses and sticking them onto her arms with sellotape. Hmmm.

Then I went on a run which was quite brilliant, up to Lord's Seat, just in time to see the sun set (along with a couple of very cold bullocks...!) then back down through the eery dusk woods with invisible creatures scampering through the snow.
