it rained – and rained – and rained – and rain made most people stay safe indoors instead of coming out to play / most but not all / because for those who did come we did play
it might be said that by reducing the game’s play area down to a football pitch sized area in Haggerston Park we didn’t manage to subvert any spaces – parks woz made for playing etc – but we did play / and grownups don’t play enough / we got competitive [in a healthy kindofway] / we fell off a few times / we were already drenched by the rain so the water pistols made little impact / but we did play / and it was fun
who knows what next / but we now have 100 water pistols / so next time we have time to spare on a sunny day – let’s head outside to reclaim the streets for games and bikes
