Yes. We spend way too many afternoons and evenings at the park now. I’m sunburnt and sporting an ugly tanline cos I had my sunnies on. Apart from that, I wish the park is bigger cos it seems a lot of people like flying kites too, and playing Ultimate Frisbee and soccer and playing fetch with their dogs and there’s simply not enough space for everyone. Half the time strings get tangled and oh, I neglected our kite and it got stuck in a tree for awhile, did I mention I suck at it?
The photos are from two different days, kite-flying-days.
We met this older guy who’s pretty knowledgeable about kites and he taught us that this is called the delta shape and also the easiest type to fly.

Was majorly fried this afternoon, got burnt, got heartbroken. The Killers gig is cancelled, it was supposed to be this Sunday man, it was gonna be the best party for so many of us! Gahh, we were all talking about it since 2009, still talking about it two days back and now, THIS!
But a trip to the park always has its way of making things right again. Hopped onto our bicycles and put my new Fjallraven backpack to use.
Found this little guy outside my door
A huge fella
Ben ended up buying a kite, some kind of personal quest for redemption going on there but turns out, he’s so darn good at flying a kite! He got so cocky about it which was really funny!
That’s his eagle, it makes this awesome flapping sound
G’weekend now guys! Big hugs to anyone else who got cancelled on!

I suck. I said I’d post more but a million things need attending to and so zee blog suffers! My toilets were flooded – the pipe was clogged, we’re half done with our Halloween costumes (hooray!!!), Indie is going to the vet tomorrow, I never have the right clothes for business meetings and this last one concerns you readers because there’s going to be a giveaway happening soon!
At sunset
Early morning
Some photos from the last 110 roll, these were taken at West Coast Park.
And off I go again!

I was feeling down all of Friday & Saturday and I didn’t want to waste my Sunday feeling shitty three days in a row so I made some sandwiches, threw together a salad and hurried Ben out of the house before the sun set. We got on our bicycles and rode to West Coast Park.
I’m loving drinks by Schweppes lately, Bitter Lemon and Dry Ginger Ale are my favourites. After watching kites flying and children digging sand (and fathers yelling at sons), we cycled to the jetty nearby.
Gotta work on being more of a park person, it’s that sorta thing whereby you know the park’s always there but it doesn’t occur to you that you could actually go there when you have no idea where to go? Yeah, my friends, we’re going to fly kites soon!
