Let's go fly a kite!

On Friday Nick went to the local radio station to do some recordings for “Thought for the Day” which will be aired at 6 am over five weekdays. He did a short series on the Psalms. He tries to do something biblically sound, as most of the other “thoughts” are cute anecdotes and other nonsense. He was rebuked for being a minute over time. Since he had finished his prep for Sunday, he was able to drive us to Horse Pasture, where we had a picnic lunch and flew the kite. The conditions were again ideal for us to launch “Skye-yeye Dragon” and she flew beautifully. Nick had to be back at the prison for his Friday afternoon ministry at 14h00, so we wrapped it up and headed home.

Steve and Maureen had arranged a small party at Ann’s Place for Friday evening, and there were 12 of us in all. It was a super evening. Mom and dad thoroughly enjoyed the island cuisine, and it was certainly an excellent spread of dishes - baked stuffed tuna being the favourite. Spotted Dick for pudding didn’t sound appealing, but actually wasn’t at all bad.
