It snowed today, just a little bit. But it was totally worth taking
the children out for a walk round the pond and up the hill to be in
it.

End of 2025. The only important summary I can think of is "Two

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.
