... which was nice

Attempted some kite-flying on Sunday. Was going to get the kite out, but saw there was a couple of guys who really knew what they were doing, so chickened out and just sat around watching them.

Started chatting to them - Colin and Dave - and was prompted by Colin to get our kite out and he'll teach us what to do! RESULT!

An excellent 3 hours of kite tuition followed. Very kind of them.

Of course I got a little overconfident. Within 10 seconds of informing Claire that I really felt in control of the kite, I promptly nose-dived into the ground an shredded a spreader. This is kite-speak for snapping one of the sticks .. or a euphemism for .. well .. I don't know.

Either way, it meant game-over for the day, but it was such a good day. I have to thank Colin and Dave for their generous and patient tutorship, especially when confronted with such obvious inability to take instruction and general feck-wittery.
