Oh dear, it's 10.10pm on Monday night and I am the last one in a bar and I have got a cold! Started tonight.
Let me tell you about my great or not so great day! I had 5 flights in the Astir, with the GPS and LNav on. 3 first flights were just up and down, the fourth one I stayed 17 min and then I had a rest. I decided to have a hanger flight and stayed up 38 minutes, just hanging on and on and on.... and did a hanger landing in the end. After I got the Astir to the hanger I walked the GrobAcro to the hanger. Rosie had her first 2 flights in K8 and we put that to the hanger. Then we went to the bar, I had 2 pints of water. We had a good conversation going on, others were dropping out and in the end there were 3 of us, until after 9pm couple of pilots came in after having a flight in a motor Falke. So 5 of us stayed in a bar until 10pm, then everybody else went home and I went to the kitchen to warm some soup, I must eat, I do not want to lose any more weight! I had my beef stew, which I have eaten since Saturday, still one more portion for Tuesday. So, I am on my own here now.
I had a slight problem with the GPS! Yesterday afternoon when I was fiddling with it, the display went all horizontally and nobody could solve the problem at the launch point until I got hold of Mike, who after few minutes did it!
Justin and Gillian arrived here this morning and rigged their glider and Justin flew the whole day and landed late afternoon and off to Mike they went.
I heard that Steve Jones has pulled out from the Worlds in USA. I also heard lots of Ralph Jones stories in a bar tonight. He was a legend, he really was, and with a big soft warm heart.
I will down load some photos tomorrow. Should be showers and sun tomorrow. I need to wash my hair in the morning, it has been days since I had a shower, here it does not really matter, do we stink or not.
Sleep tight possums!
