Flying High

This has got to be the most fun I have had for $10.oo in a long time.

I am having some friends to my place in a few weeks. I decided to make it a theme of "Come fly with me and encorouge them to bring up kites.

I thought I had better test the idea out and picked on up the other day for only $10.oo

A short while ago with the wind blowing strongly on this mountain top and with feet that had decided to co-operate out I went.

The guy in the toy shop had said I would probably need someone there to launch it.

Not so this little baby was aero dynamically designed for easy lift off.

After first giving my self a string cut and then realising I should take the rubber band off the tail it was up up and away.

I am so glad no one could hear me.

I hooped and hollowed as it hit the skies. With very little effort I could have it responding to the different wind directions that I was getting.

It was just tottal absorbtion.

That is it wedged in my bathroom windows so I could photograph it for posterity. I think it could be addictive.

Someone is supposed to be opening a Hang Gliding place down the other end of the mountain range. Not very far from me. I fancy hanging over my balcony fence offering a glass of Champagne to colourfull passers by.
