Yesterday we sent Mother up in a balloon. Before anyone complains that that isn’t particularly fair, she did ask for it. I mean, she wanted to go.
It’s quite a cool little spectacle up close. I’ve never been to a balloon launch and it takes a bit of effort to get everything together considering you only spend about an hour in the air and that you only travel between five and ten miles before you come down again.
Even so, it’s now on my list of things I want to do sometime in the future. Not a bad way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
