Kite
Posted on | August 8, 2006 | No Comments
It was a warm, windy day today, so I promised Tilda that we would go fly a kite. She got a kite for Christmas 2004 which her lazy parents had never actually taken her to use; of course, when I went to look for it, I couldn’t find it anywhere. Either it was purged during the move, or I’ll find it later.
We went to the toy store and had the choice between kites that cost $7.20 and $31 – I picked the $7.20 one. I had forgotten how hard it is to fly a kite that only has one string.
(I know that you can hardly see the kite in the movie, but you can at least see that the string goes up … for a while.)
My other extravagance today was buying a banana for Tilda as a special treat. (Bananas have been expensive here since Cyclone Larry wiped out the banana crops, and Australia refuses to import them.) I think this is the first banana I’ve bought since prices went to about $12/kg, but Tilda enjoyed her $1.83 delight.
