More kite nice-ness

After a few abortive attempts to fly the kite last week (mostly abortive due to lack of wind; there's nothing sadder than a 32 year old man wandering a park looking dejected because there's not enough wind to fly his new kite!) I finally managed to get it up on Eastney sea-front! Ooo-er and hooray!

Of course, after about an hour I managed to completely destroy another part of the kite, this time the spine. Arse!

Unable to find spare spines I put a cry-for-help on the Fractured Axel forums and within minutes I had a reply offering to help me out of my kite hole. (That sounds incredibly rude .. you know what I mean.)

Anyway, I thank all those involved, and it's another example of kite-related kindness.

Either that or I just generally deserve pity.

Or a bit of both.
