Someone explain to me why flying even the most basic kite is so much fun. Breezy summer day here, convinced myself out of the house by about 200m to the local field with our kite. Let my son hold it on his own for the first time. "Whatever you do, don't let go". One millisecond later and it's free styling down the field to choke various neighbours and their dogs and I'm pelting after it in flip flops Turned the whole neighbourhood happy though. Doctors should put them on prescription.

Yep, never underestimate what a great present a kite can be. Not one of the over complicated things, nothing with two strings... just a single string easy flyer. That said, my boy has a dragon kite which requires quite strong wind to fly - but when it does it looks awesome with him running along underneath.

Kite. Eating. Trees.


Rows of the leafy smug bastards.

Just a few more days until the dust arrives on Gulf Coast. I'm kinda excited but I suspect Mother Nature is going to shit on the parade with the rain we have incoming. New phone though so hopefully it will take some decentish pics if I get a nice sunset.

Its great to have you back BK!

My daughter is 10 tomorrow! First birthday for a few years where she won't have to go to school. So we're all at home, going to have bbq and pool day. I got today off as a bonus A/L day, so I've been racing about getting all her stuff sorted and wrapped, and hiding the balloons, bunting and her new bike which I can put out later when she's asleep.

Oh and because we're doing a bbq, I've bought about a ton of meat, seafood and veg to put on it as I always seem to run out of things to cook just when its getting good.

And booze. Lots of booze to chill and drink from an impolite hour in the morning.

Sounds Ace Traveller.

My parents are coming down for a socially distanced visit, Grandad will be able to see bubba for the first time!

Would prefer to go for a proper visit with hugs. But I dont believe the lockdown loosening will last and I think we'll get a second spike - best to make the most of it while we can!

Finished a massive project. Sent the result in just ten minutes ago. Think I might take the rest of the day off and just relax on the balcony.

It's the week where "gymnasium" students (Think high school seniors) get their diploma and their student hats. As is tradition thousands of kids are being driven around the city in open bed trucks, playing loud music, drinking irresponsible amounts of alcohol and shouting incoherently at people they drive by, truck honking randomly. It's so loud and obnoxious and yet you can't help but laugh seeing a truck load of students dancing around in a moving vehicle having the time of their life. Saw a girl vomiting over the side of a truck at noon yesterday.

Ahh, to be young and stupid(er) again.

Just made 7 dollars recycling my cans and bought black and white cookies.

Now I know technically I just got my seven dollar deposit back but that’s joe what it feels like.

Must so though, given that you have to turn in the 140 cans one by one not really cost productive in the future.

I don't think you're supposed to hoard recyclables. That's how you get banana flies.

I found my uncle that I haven’t talked to in 25 years thanks to an ancestry dna test! I had thought that I would never connect with that side again since our last name is common. Been chatting with him and found out some family history, plus exchanging family photos.

On the flip side, I can’t share with my mom since she is stubborn and has refused to talk to him for 25 years over what I see as a misunderstanding. It’s sad, because I can tell he misses her.

Well that is great news though kinda sad. Maybe you can help bridge the gap in time.

I hope so. I’ll take what I can get and call it a win!

Quit my job, got a new job and have a month of unemployment in between.
All of this is cause for happiness.

I discovered the Red Alert remastered soundtrack on Apple Music, so that's my work-music today, and it's great. Although it's giving me a thirst for building harvesters and tesla coils.
