Furthermore

Perfect Sunday

I think Sunday was just one of those days where everything you do goes well - I managed to get the girls up, bathed, and out to the Coleridge playground. The paddling pool had been filled up for the nice weather, so they both had a go in there - although E decided she didn't like it this time, and L fell over and got completely soaked - next time remember to bring swimming costume.

After lunch I fitted a triple socket in the hall (I found that Homebase do a single to triple converter - you just take off the original plate, wire up the new one, then it fits onto the same screws at the back as the single one). Then since I was on a roll I fitted a double socket in the garage - the one in there has been broken for ages because if you plug something into it, it will get hit with the up and over door and smash into pieces.

Then L wanted to go out on her bike so I walked with her up to the corner and back - she's got the pedalling pretty well now, and she's learning how far she can turn the handlebars safely.

After that I had a fantastic idea about how to fit another shelf into the bookcase in the hall (something that we've needed for a while). Even with my rudimentary skills, there's something quite satisfying about making things from wood with saws and drills. And the result even looks quite good. Still need to make another one - and paint the bookcase too I think.

Mrs Furthermore and I got the kids to bed, then we had an enjoyable evening together without them :-)
