Gideon (5) just walked past me looking determined. I asked him if he was okay and he said "Yes, I'm going outside with the hammock."

"It's cold and wet out there," I replied.

So he found his boots and his jacket and the hammock, took them outside by himself, put the hammock together (also by himself), and is now happily playing Angry Birds in it.

No, I don't understand either.

We have a Spotify family account, so I thought I'd add Sophia to it.
Turns out that because she's under 13 she's incredibly limited in the music she can have access to, and has to be in the special kids app.
So, YouTube for music it is!

(Seriously, they didn't even have the K-Pop Demon Hunters soundtrack. Utterly useless.)

I do like how Edinburgh looks at this time of year.

After several hours of hammering and some excellent assistance from Sophia, we have constructed a child-stacking device.

(Side-pieces to be constructed tomorrow)

I just spent an hour playing "Captain Sonar"
Two teams, each of which are moving their submarin around a map, while trying to work out where their opponent is, keep the ship running, and charge their systems so that they can detect the other team and then torpedo them.
Good fun!
