Nice day yesterday. No walking for once . The lads had a good thrash around RKade skate park , they were energetic and pretty awesome ,I was really into a good reading session so got into Sense and Sensibility and some maths and Fo headed off for a shopping trip in the centre of Redcar.I only do shopping with her when she needs my help and that is usually when she attempts to chose clothes! In spite of doing no walking we still had our biscuit break : habits die hard in our family . Home and a couple of episodes of Star Trek . An uneventful but pleasant day. This is one of the things I like about family life : even when we don't do that much it is still good fun and interesting and there is always room to do something different which in this case meant not doing much . Because we went to a later session than we normally do , we usually do the 10-12 one, the skate park was full of kids and our lads really enjoyed that . Instead of doing there own thing they got in with some of the others like the most excellent skate boarder Sam. He is really good. There were a lot of scooters there and it is good to see that youngsters are keeping that going . Good for them and for the skate park. Most of them have picked up on the park discipline and are not bumping into themselves ,BMXers and skateboarders like they used to . Contrary to what most oldies think skate boarding , blades, scootering and BMXing are very cooperative and disciplined activities. Together and individually youngies and not so youngies like the middle aged shredder bunch (MAS), older guys who used to skate in the 70's who took it up again today, take decisions and then do it when there are very real risks involved. I am always inspired and amazed at the amount of diligence and determination they all put into it .
