  1. I took a short video of Jenny unwrapping her biggest birthday present
    from Mummy and Daddy this morning. I've uploaded it to my gallery,
    which should be here:
    <http://www.unicyclist.com/gallery/?g2_view=core.ShowItem&g2_itemId=174344>

    Having now sat her on it I reckon that, if I shorten the seatpost
    slightly and bolt wooden blocks to the pedals, she should be able to
    start learning some time in the summer.

  2. Congratulations. When do you think she will be better than you, in a
    couple of weeks? Will she be pushing the FlyMo while riding her uni
    with a pint in hand one day?

    She's 4 today, which means that legally she's not allowed to drink
    until next year. Besides which, she doesn't like the smell of BEER.
    So the pint will have to wait a bit longer :-P

    I didn't. It's a chrome Dodger, bought from unicycle.uk.com and then
    decorated with holographic tape that I bought specially for the purpose
    from Beard. They use it for decorating clubs, devil sticks and the
    like.

    unicycle midwife ;-)

    After we saw the movie in the cinema, my daughter would say that at the
    drop of a hat with an English accent. It was fun to add to the chaos
    by doing the same... 😄

    We read The Hobbit and all 3 LoTR books over the phone, starting well
    before the movies came out and finishing a little after. It was really
    excellent.

    She doesn't live with me so we talk on the phone each week.

    I hope Danny's daughter learns to ride her new uni and that he posts
    another video of the feat!

    I'm sure both will happen. Just don't expect it to be next week...

    I'm looking forward to being able to make the same sort of posts that
    Racenut has been making recently.

    She's not allowed to drink? She'll die of dehydration! And BEER? Why
    BEER? A pint is just a weird British volume unit right? If only she
    were allowed to drink, you could give her a pint of lemonade.

    Good job on the 4yo and the uni though. Congrats!
