While mum was waffling on about having 3 days off, we rode to the Swing Park with Harry and Rory, on scooters, met Max there and played til 5ish when we decamped to Max's house.
A warning of "no leaving-fuss = inviting your friends round on Wednesday" made for a pain free exit.
Riding home across Milton Road, we just missed a nasty accident which someone described to dad later as "seeing children bounce off cars in my rear view mirror". Two kids were taken to hospital. This is why my mum shouts instructions at me near the road.
