Park and Ride

Cambridge has its share of parks and some of them (some) have pretty innovative play equipment. We stumbled on this one today. Check out this two-kid contraption, which rotates, swings and tilts as it goes. A big pleaser. As too are the rain puddles. Mud is sure to be a new household staple.

We put a small deposit down on our rental home today, enough to start the reference-check process. We should know this week if we've secured the place; it is our intention is to move in on June 24, with the help of loaner furniture from RAF Alconbury.

I did the math tonight and this home has less square footage than my 2-bedroom Del Ray Bungalow (it also has less bathrooms! and a much smaller yard). But enough whinging, as they say. My godmother has the right approach, she says she's looking forward to visiting, when she plans to bring one change of clothes and a toothbrush. I told her she might consider skipping the toothbrush, it is England after all.
