We joined a group of parents to help build a set of bike sheds for a primary school. Sounds easy but they are heavy, complicated, and require many hands to put together.

One unanticipated problem was the awful smell on the plexiglass sheets which had been left out in the rain (words cannot describe - but it smelt worse than the nearby Hackney City Farm).

Louise had helped disassemble the bike sheds from the previous location and was determined to see the task through. After many hours and lots of swearing the sheds were complete. We celebrated afterwards with bagels and bubble tea.
