As i was getting back from my morning chores there was a call from Joanna asking for some help - so I landed at the doorstep and got custody of both Merran and Samu. 
I took them to our special "secret park" where there are thrills for kids and they had a glorious time.
From there we went to the Traffic Park and while the kids were tearing around in the pedal cars, I lay down in the beautiful sunshine on the green grass and had a snooze!
The afternoon was spent helping Ildi and Ilari take home a new sofa and get rid of an old one, and we ended up by having a great feast of chicken wings at the Pailin Restaurant. Merran had a ham and pineapple pizza and tried the chicken wings with yoghurt to follow - "Too sppiced", she said.
In the evening Samu had football practice. Merran came along as the football field is next to a skateboard centre. Merran is keen on skateboards. We also saw some great trick cycling by some local kids.
Samu and Merran did some self-photography and also took some awful shots of Grandpa!
On the way home (at 8:30 pm) I suggested that they may enjoy seeing the sunset from the beach at 10:10 pm. I suggested they be especially nice to their moms and then ask permission to come out with Grandpa. It worked!
Samu and Merran spent a few minutes atop the observation tower at Land's End!
After sunset, we had fun at the Nallikari Children's Park. Merran and Samu climbed on top of the Stone Igloo.
Crazy man Samu went round and round and tound in this dizzy dizzy chair!
When we got home, it was well past 11:30 pm - the latest Samu has been allowed to stay out with me!
