The kids were sick last week but nothing too bad. We had a weekend at home as a result and it ended up being really nice.

One of the few times we went out we ran into some other families at our childcare centre. We were in the IRL Hammerbarn right next to the play equipment so we let the kids wild out whilst we hung around with the other parents.

I went for a bike ride with a local group I haven't done anything with in ages on Sunday. My girlfriend took the kids out whilst I was riding and whenever she takes the kids out with her mother they're gone for hours. So I had some time to myself, which was nice. I'm editing some videos for a local Socialists In Schools group so I made a start on that.

And the mother in law hasn't gotten her car serviced in years so it has blown up and is now not worth anything. I've been taking the kids to care on the way to work as a result. I was riding the ebike and letting her take them in my car, but now I'm driving them as a bit of a lesson for not looking after her own car. She had one job and couldn't put her hand on her pocket to keep her car going.

We're going to look into a new car soon, it's the time to move as there are end of financial year sales around now so it's time to buy. I also want to make sure the MIL doesn't do anything stupid with trying to sell her car or buying another one, so all the more reason to act.
