Chapter 9 Kite Flying Day.

CHAPTER 9: KITE FLYING DAY

 However by morning (Monday morning Easter Monday) we had forgotten all about Kite Man supposed deeds. Bright an early we were up. The air was abuzz with kites. We headed down to the huge Vat Aunt Sybil had in the yard to draw some water to bath. (Vat water the coldest water on earth). With the rising sun warming up the air there was no way we were going to get any hot water to mix. And the bath had to be taken outside down by the Vat. So we took one of those quick baths. A little bit of soap here and there, a sauce pan full of water for the face and under the arms between the legs and a little bit on your hair to soften it so it can be combed, then we were done. We rush upstairs to have my mother aunt Gertis to apply some oil on our bodies. Put on our very best cloths including our new pairs of Yachting boots. We now head down to breakfast, fry bakes with salt fish and hot cocoa; full us up for the best part of the morning. Aunt Sybil then filled our book bags with lunch for the day some beef curry rolled up in a doll puree; two bottles of five fingers drink some sugar cakes and fudge.  An extra parcel for Kite Man.  It was not lost to her that Kite Man was assisting us to build the kite and that he would be accompanying us to fly it.
