Pink Drink

Yesterday afternoon was spent catching up with R's niece. She's 7 years old and her favourite colour is . . . you guessed it, PINK. She made it easy to choose activities for the couple of hours we were together: a happy meal and a trip to the park.

She had to have this drink: Yep, the contents are water, sugar and some sort of colouring. It's the colouring that does it: what pink loving girl could resist. As it turns out, she hardly drank any of it and it slowly melted into something that looked awfully like red cordial. Oh well!

The park, on the other hand, never loses any of its charm. There's a 3D snakes and ladders game, a big fort in the shape of an aeroplane and, of course, the swings. It's good that some things in life are simply fun.
