Well if I must...

Excellent morning start with toasted cinnamon buns (thanks for the suggestion Northern, worked a treat) and fresh strawberries.

Behaved like proper parents and made the kids go for a 10km walk along the river this morning. The dog thought all her swimming in the river, rolling through mud, chasing ducks Christmases had come at once.

Lunch at home, then Carl, Anna and I headed into town to The Criterion Theatre to see A Comedy About A Bank Robbery. From Mischief Theatre, the same folks who did The Play That Goes Wrong. And this was just as tight and clever and funny. 2 and a bit hours of solid laughing.

Totally whacked. Good day.

EDIT: forgot to include today's entries from The Tube Game which Peri had taught Anna and she shared with us today. Here are some of our clues should you find yourself bored on a tube. I'll put the answers on tomorrow's blip. If I remember. Or someone reminds me.

Each is a clue to a station, arranged by line. There is one repeat (in case I get complaints).
