Little tired girl

Today it wasn't raining and it was sunny in the morning. We decided to dust down the bike and go for a ride. I took us to a park at Willoughby that we'd only been to once before. It doesn't have a lot of play equipment ― swings, slides, bouncy kangaroos and pelicans ― but the setting is lovely, full of trees and whimsical sculptural things.

After the obligatory swing session, Louka discovered a slide with a big stone snake nestled at the bottom. We had to creep past the snake to avoid waking it and making it HISSSSSSSSSSSS.


The other slide had a safety cage at the top, to protect me from the savage Louka lion.


There were funny fences and pretty flowers, and birds to chase.



It was also handy to Louka's favourite date smoothie café for lunch. After lunch I thought she might like to go back to the park, but she opted for home. When I stopped the bike to open the garage door, I saw that she'd fallen asleep.
