We went to Battersea Park yesterday to go on the little train and play at the under-5 playground there. The Adventure Playground was also open. This place would be shut down immediately if it were in the US. It was filled with enormous plywood structures that look as if they should collapse immediately under their own weight, supporting the most dangerous playground equipment every conceived. I should have taken photos, but I was too busy keeping my children alive. Pascale especially liked the slide that started out at an 80-degree angle for the first 5 feet or so. Actually, that's the only piece of equipment I let her go on. The whole place looked like someone's crazed dad built it in the back yard.
The train there is one of those that does not run on a track, but it's just a little cart towing a bunch of other little carts. The driver crashed into a fence. It was my first train crash.
Rainy today again. Just a quick trip to the playground in the morning, hanging out at home in the afternoon.
