Hello, Hello, Hello.

It is a bit of a funny old day here we have had one thunderstorm and more on the way by the looks,

 not happy as the chook went broody nearly 2 weeks ago ,  so i guess we can forget about any chickens now after the thunder we have had  but that is nature for you.

 it is also steamy here too .

You'd better not take up ballooning

Your liable to blow yourself up

Hi latina

How does a thunderstorm

Effect the eggs ?

Wait a minute

I think I know !!

The hen runs around saying

The sky is falling

The sky is falling

The eggs go cold

And the chickens go

Kaput lol

I think the lone ranger just

Showed up in the nic of time

To sit on the eggs while the

Hen goes off to take a couple

Of valium and a great big 

Cup of ?

Wheat

That's one very composed egg you have 

There

And tell that cheeky brat

This is nothing to yolk about

Talk about kites. From the late 1950s

A beautiful sunny breezy day.  Pa says "good day to fly a kite". So a pairing up to manufacture said aeronautical machines.  4 teams in all. An adult with a child. 

We used to take forever to pick the right sticks, some off the ground from under the old gum.  One team "found" some old window beading.

Borrow some string from Nana's trussing supply, or pa's "straight line".  Find brown paper bags, to glue together with the flour and water paste - don't forget the salt, it helps stop mould.  Add the tail that had flags of scrap from mum's dressmaking efforts.  

I reflect that the adults had more fun than their team mate.

Wait for it all to dry in the sun, while we had a roast lunch.  Which was inevitably followed by some really slow and noisy content-from-eating naps.  

Okay kids, let's go.  

Run>>>>>>> let the string out as you run>>>>>>>I said, run>>>>>>>>>faster>>>>>>>>>>>faster.  

The "young" uncle got his team's effort aloft.   Until.........on 5 acres of paddocks there is one set of power lines...........

The wind disappeared, from both our lungs and the atmosphere.

And it was time for an early bath and teatime.

An excellent night of sleep as I recall.

Lol sounds like us

So many efforts at kite flying ending

In a tree. Some never even got off the

Ground.

But it was fun trying

One of our earliest prototypes

Was ice block sticks and lined paper

And to my surprise it actually flew

I went to Singapore years ago and 

There were kites everywhere

Some like stealth bombers

And giant dragons, birds.it was a regular

Activity for families in the park, on the

Beach
