The Week #281
by James- πΉ We made another trip to the skate park. This time Leo had an intro to skating class. They went over the basics like the parts of the skateboard, identifying the tail vs the nose, and riding and pushing. Leo's riding stance is much cleaner now that he had an authority (not me) tell him how to ride it.
My skateboard with Enoshima
While Leo was taking his class, I rode around the park. I taught myself how to ride up the quarter pipe, turn around, and come back down. Being able to ride on the ramps a bit unlocked the real fun of the skatepark. Growing up skating it was always street and shit ollies at best, so I finally get the real fun of skating. New life achievement unlocked π!
The middle-aged skate/surfer guys looked like they were having the time of their life shredding the pool. My new goal in life is to be able to shred it in the pool with them.The pool I intend to shred - π We visited another local international school. It was nice and offered the education that I'd like Leo to get. Try as I might, I cannot quite figure out how getting there and back 5 days a week would actually work. Maybe it's something we can consider again after things settle down a bit. But it is good to have at least done the research and visited the schools so we know what they're about.
- π I went with Leo to get haircuts in the evening (which is the time to go, zero waiting). I went first and had an uneventful cut and shave. After I finish I look over at Leo as he's now getting his haircut, and he's laid back in the chair getting a shave! I wish I had taken a picture. They don't usually give 7 year olds a shave, but he knows his barber and he asked for one.

The Week #280
by James- πΉ Leo and I skated both days on the weekend. And for 5 minutes after school on Monday. While he is frustrated that he can't ollie yet, he is getting better control over the board. I expect he'll smoke me at skating in a month or two time. Still the dream of riding a half-pipe together persists. Unfortunately it rained on Sunday, so his skate class was cancelled.
- π Last week when we went to the beach the wind blew some sand into my eye. Usually you wash it and at most the next morning at the latest you're better. It wasn't the case for me this week. My eye felt like it was getting a bit better each day until it didn't and, being American, I am (still) not in the habit of just going to the doctor. I went. And it turned out there was a tiny piece of plastic or something hooked itself into my eye. 30 seconds with some anestheticΒ eye drops andΒ scraping of my eyeball the doc got it released. Instantly my eye felt better. Microplastics, the gift that keep on giving.
- π₯ Since teaching Leo how to make instant mash potatoes and him writing down his recipe, I feel like he's gained a super power. When he's hungry and or has a craving, he just gets on with it and makes them. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
