Today i was nearly run down whilst using a pedestrian crossing ,little green man said WALK so i did. I walked in front of a car forcing it to halt the nice driver when I pointed to the little green man told me to go do something very unfestive (and humanly impossible).
(I was in my PO VERY LUMINIOUS jacket so no chance of not seeing me)
So I hope santa was watching the bad man.....no presents for him!!

Have a good one everybody.....

More sad news for the Doggett Family today. My nan (nigel.d Mother) passed away this morning. She was very ill and only had half a lung left (if you know what i mean) If i know the lady she can now tell my dad off for not listening.

Been revising a lot so i havent been online lately. Got an exam on monday which will be hard to do now.

Hope everyone's day is beeter than ours.
Char & Ingird

Getting slow this. Was flying on 24r December 2006. The weather was dry but very cold and damp as it had been raining during the night. No one else turned up.

Went to Aviemore on Boxing day to my other club's site. Three of the stalwarts turned up. We had some nice flying with excellent weather although cold. They were telling me that they had not had too much rain. Not like Fort William which had a h,,, of a lot.

Glen Nevis next on th 27th to check leccy fence and change the battery. Took the Wot4 but did not attempt to fly, the water covering 3/4 of the runway and the wind goiing from flat calm to 30/35 mph. This kind of windiness is very common at this patch due to the surounding terrain.

31st Dec. My Son and my Daughter with their kids arrive to bring in the New Year. Son collapses with the flu, even worse for me I felt ill, then was unconcious from the 1st for three days. Recovery still ongoing due to pesky persistant cough. Nowt but gales and rain since, near non stop.

2006 99.22 inch of rain
Dec 20.00 inch of rain

Bob, I hope that you recover fully soon. It's that time of year for these things and nothing worse than denying you your flying time.

**wonwinglo** · 14-01-2007

There are a lot of nasty bugs and things around at the moment,my dear wife has had an awful cough now for weeks,even anti-biotics do not appear to work ?
Keep in the warm Bob and rest,forget the damp flying fields for a while,the forcasters say this is going to be a very hot summer ?

Just noticed that UKTV history chanel has a program called "tank overhaul" starting tomorrow (tuesday), might be worth a watch for any armour buffs out there.

Cheer's ,
