no drips!

Sometimes it is the simplest things ....one of the highlights of today was having the drip in my shower recess fixed. Over the years the washers have been changed...but it never seems to last...the drips come back! This last week or so...they came back with extra quantity...nearly a bucket a day!! So.... today the plumber came...and replaced the whole system of pipes behind the wall. Haven't tried the shower yet...but there are NO drips. So so good. (Haven't had the bill yet...)

pick'n up rocks paves way for historic moment

Several months have passed since the last blog posting and thus this "historic moment" of test runs by experienced pilots and then a chance to have a go myself with one of the lads sitting beside and verbally guiding my movements. What a great birthday present; fancy landing on my parents "home strip".... it's a long time since I rode the red push bike (that my "big brother" put together for me one Christmas) up and down the air strip.....felt like I was flying then....this time I really was!
