Sitting in the park in the winter sun yesterday was beautiful. There was a game of tug of war going on behind us, the kids that belonged to us were busy making a camp in a tree and so we set ourselves the task of un-knotting the kite string. What seemed like it might be a one-person/10 minute job turned into an hour with 3 people poring over it. There was discussion of whether to cut and re-tie... or if that was cheating (yes - in my opinion). In the end, we undid a previous knot in the line because it was already there. It was even tidied up nicely when it was re-tied. Most satisfying.
