This Saturday I went to the beach for the first time this season. Got a minor sunburn, looked for crabs with the kids and ate lunch.

In the evening we went to visit the inlaws place before returning home, fixing the lawn mower blade and the pram wheel before going inside for the night.

Was planning to fix the wheelbarrow as well but after removing the tyre and opening the bag with the new inner tube it turned out Jula had sold me a 3.5-8 in a 4-6 package so I gave up on that.
