A stunning CAVOK day here. Later today I drive to Perth to meet up with former Ops-Normal member OneHungLow who as I speak is passing west abeam York in his trusty PA-28. Dinner in Perth is scheduled for tonight - a non-alcoholic one for me as I will drive home afterwards.

Enjoy

Jim is not the most popular girl in the class today! It occurred to me that we haven't had a fire drill at church for three years: my policy (wot I rote) states there should be one a year. Been waiting for a nice sunny day, and today was it. So, fire alarm, 999 (not) dialled, evacuation instruction...

Good morning, 6°C expecting 9°C, 80% humidity, very dull and overcast; would need lights on indoors to read although sun rose three-quarters of an hour ago apparently. It would be helpful or at least of interest if the weather forecasters gave the amount of light available outdoors, in lumens or foo...

Wolves. ... *decides not to wear little gingham pinny and go into the woods today* Good morning on Whitsunday, the Feast of Pentecost. Dark, dull, overcast, probably drizzling, misty, 4°C expecting 6°C. Glad about the rain anyway. Most of the deciduous trees are bare now, still some oaks and beeche...

Going was a stalwart for North Auckland - now known as Northland - at provincial level, playing 110 games for the union. "...

But oh so unfortunate about the finger, most unnecessary thing to happen. Hope it heals perfectly long-term. It was the middle finger on her right hand. Well bandaged due to the stitches and a splint on top of that to prevent bending. I warned her about waving her hand around while driving to preve...

That's a fairly esoteric tune to have lying around in your head! Any more like that? The Ancient Mariner PS and where and when was the TV series "Maupassant"? I've never heard of it other than the 19th century writer from first year French at uni. Shown here in the 1960s. IMDB Maupassant I never sa...

I can't help it, I have this playing in my head as I watch.

Just got word from D#1 that she passed her CFII checkride. :YMPARTY: It was delayed by a month due to fractured and lacerated fingertip from having her instructor slam aircraft door while they were troubleshooting problem with door latch. :-o :(( ... Jolly well done, your D#1 :-bd But oh so unfortu...

Morning all. Woke up early, heart racing. Now up, not racing. Still think it's digestive. Off to Paris this morning..... Hope all's well with you, OFSO, and this was just something transient. Any changes of medications lately? spicy food? strong coffee/cocoa/chocolate? hydration levels? Take care :...

There are 246 people viewing at the moment and 4 members. Why don't they just join?

I don't think they are 'real' people but rather 'bots'.
I notice the Soundtrack thread has hundreds and hundreds of views daily, which seems most unlikely.
