ailbheIn recent weeks we have found, abandoned by the side of the road, a bike, a seesaw-cum-roundabout, and a scooter. The scooter doesn't work but the others do.
The seesaw is set up in the garden even now; it needed no attention.
The bike is a pink Barbie one, with slight damage to the saddle. It basically needs oiling and the height of the saddle needs to be adjusted; then we need to work out how to obliterate the most offensive parts of the pink Barbie ness of it. Then Linnea can cycle it, possibly with stabilisers. But cycling is hard.

Date: 2007-05-07 02:55 am (UTC)My parents recycled (har) one bike between three kids by judicious use of paint jobs. My bike was green. It was painted yellow for my little brother, and then red (well, pink really) for my other brother. It was only when the boys were asked to sand it back for repainting to give to a younger cousin that we learned the truth of the "new bike".
