Yallourn - at the skate park

Chasing a marble. It was after this visit that we got a pair of jeans for each child. 

later a tall thin young dad appeared in his navy and orange overalls after just finishing work, and tan steel toe capped boot with his 4 year old daughter and her xmas skate board. He was demoing how to swivel on her small pink board. She felt safer laying flat and shouting "rock and roll" as she zoomed along in her pink top and blue jeans. Jake had blond hair, a soft auzzie accent, a dimpled smile, a recovering overstretched ear lobe and an eye brow piercing. He was also a single dad as his former partner wasnt interested in custody. She had gotten into drugs. Jake was not bitter and saw her also as a victim.

he was really gentle and friendly as he supped on his premixed coke and bourbon from a can and spoke about how lucky he was to be able to be an active involved dad to his daughter. He was apprenticed in boiler making and welding and worked part time earning a very decent rate. His support network was good as his divorced parents -both remarried- all lived In town and he got every other weekend off to go out. He said many potential partners wanted to meet his daughter but he had to think carefully about who and when to introduce to little miss rock n roller.

no picture as i thought it a bit OTT on a first meet.
