Puddles
Met First Matie behind the station in her new green Subaru and we sped in the rain up to Chertsey to see Max and the French Bloke in less than an hour.
Both on splendid form, and we spent the afternoon playing with their children Tahlia, Zemirah and baby Elijah. All beyond adorable. Zemirah making a classic entrance - walking in all cherubic blonde curls with a large plastic electric guitar which was cranking out some species of heavy metal riff. Kate and I entranced.
Then a very splashy walk across the nearby meads, through every available puddle, and setting off rockets powered by a small plastic air chamber and a tube. When the rain was utterly pouring, we repaired home I was used a good deal as a climbing frame and trampoline by Tahlia and Zemirah. After the chilren went to bed, the FB showed me his pet project of a 900-odd cc motorbike he was building from scratch in his garage from things parts from ebay. It will be an entirely unique vehicle, wasp waisted with a single fork holding the rear wheel. The FB said, with a gleam in his eye, that it would be a challenging ride.
Home in the rain with First Matie generally putting the world to rights as she drove. Back to Brighton and an earlyish night. Managed also to pick up an offer of more work next week too. All good.
