Stop me if you've heard it.

Met up with Andy from Fractured Axel as he kindly offered to help fix my kite .. well .. to fix my kite while I watch!

Also met Jason and Craig; all of them clearly excellent kite-flyers. It was amazing to watch what's possible with two bits of string and some sticks and sail (over-simplifying? Me?).

I had three reactions during the evening:
1) Wow!
2) I want to do THAT!
3) That's. not. possible.

.. actually I had a 4th reaction:
4) Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit! .... um ..... sorry!

This reaction occured a lot when Andy let me fly his Outer Space, and Jason let me fly his Gemini and I accelerated both kites into the ground with loud THUMPs!

It was fun - just seeing the possibilities was pretty amazing - but I did feel the tadpole asking the frog how to jump! ... does that make sense? It's a bit Cantona: this Plymouth Gin is grrrrrrrrrreat!

Anyway, thanks guys for your generosity, help and tolerance!
