Back. Unpacked (all done by +1/2). Quiet morning around the house and I tried to get a photo of +3/3 pottering about when he saw me and used the not-yet-put-away torch to look inside the camera.

Started work on a bike for +1/3: I pulled it out of a skip 4-5 years ago in nearly perfect condition. Someone had thrown away a perfectly good Giant mountain bike; not just serviceable but actually good quality - hydraulic disk brakes, 21 speed, shimano, marzocchi shocks, aluminium frame. More money than sense. I kept it for +1/3 and now he's finally big enough.

All that was wrong was a completely rusted chain, a bent gear hanger, a slightly broken front brake leaver and no brake fluid. £20 in parts and it should be fine.
