The Weekend That Was
Saturday we went browsing at the myriad variety of strollers around. There's far too much choice available for my liking ... and whatever we buy, it'll be unsuitable for certain situations.
For eg:- it's recommended to get something light, and easily collapsible for lifting into the boot of a car (by someone other than a former member of the East-German womens powerlifting team ...). It should fold like a sock, able to be tucked away into a small crevice within the mighty boots that our cars have.
However, in addition to being of the antigravitation persuasion, it needs to be sturdy and rugged, conquerer of rough terrain, impervious to the elements [all 103+ of them?]...
It also needs to be visually appealing, maneuverable with one finger through insane rush-hour pedestrian traffic, and affordable.
Yes, that last word there kinda slows down the whole momentum, doesn't it ?
No more aircraft-grade anti-matter that can leap tall buildings in a single bound.
After talking to friends with 4-wheel strollers, many indicate that they work perfectly-well on dodgy surfaces, and that a jogging-stroller may only be necessary if you actually do run with it..
So we're still undecided about what we need.
Sunday we went to friends for lunch, and then popped over to Germany to buy some meat with them. MUCH cheaper than buying here in Switzerland. We bought close to 7kg of chicken and chicken pieces for about CHF95 (EUR61).
Sunday night we watched "Spanglish"... it's pretty good.
