Hi, I am back at Bicester after a 6 days of absence. I walked from the railway station this morning and on the way saw some gliders flying. That shows you the way to the airfield.
I had 3 flights in a K8. First one was 6 minutes, second 18 minutes and the last one 1 hour and 12 minutes and climbed to 4500ft. The long flight was something that I could have done better. I really need to pay attention to the clouds, think and turn tighter. I was hopeless in thermals, even that I stayed up so long. I absolutely need to use the brains. I was also looking around the landmarks and figuring out where the Weston-on-a-Green boundary is.
After writing the earlier chapter, I went to the bar. The bar is so important to get to know people. And of course the people getting to know me. Works both ways.
I am putting the positive drive on, I am making an extra effort to be happy, smiling and jolly and talk to people. I don't crochet anymore in a bar or in a launch point. I think that gave the impression that I am not interested what is going around me. Just like a granny with crochet and knitting. I crochet 2 squares today in a train, I will be posting those to Asta together with lot more sometime beginning of July.
As the weather has been so rainy, cold and miserable for a long time, it really got me depressed and unloved!!! Anyway, I feel better now and will keep my spirits up. I want to make this summer a real success! I will beat the weather!
Today was so lovely to see the Duxford based Dragon Rapide landing here, it took some people for a flight. I managed to take only those 2 photos, I just landed and it was doing it's checks, luckily Charlie (Chapman) together another man came help me to pull the glider to the launch point, so I just ran to the bus holding the parachute (so difficult to run wearing the parachute) to get the camera and took photos while the boys dragged the glider forward. The photos are on a post below, have a look!
I am so tired! Too early to go to the bed.
I had a good day! What about you?
