The hammock chair is a great success; it’s a shame we have only one decent branch from which to hang one, because it is quickly becoming an item of contention. I had a rather long turn in it reading library books, then I was booted out by M.
You know that thing where you twist up a swing at the playground and then hang on for dear life while it untwists? Since the hammock is hung by ropes and not chains, it can get about seven times as twisty. If you happen to be wearing a crown/tiara and a cape, all the better.
Also if you have been sick all day and your parents aren’t convinced that your stomach contents will stay put through the tornado-like twistiness, it adds a certain pleasing frisson.
M. is so adorable!! I’m sure that swinging in that hammock despite being sick was SO MUCH FUN!
