Seems to be improving

Next lesson (after several weeks) in pa28 one go around from stable approach, three landings with instructor and then three solo.

Not sure that did much different to last time except followed advice to reduce the throttle slightly earlier so slower at the numbers and possibly more relaxed as a year older (and wiser?)

New problem in that after power checks for solo shower of rain arrived so taxied back to club for 10 mins while it passed. Then on take off run discovered I had the not fully secured the door when I got back in. Fortunately enough runway to reject takeoff and FISO backtracked me as no one else I the circuit. I had also asked for airfield information on the frequency of another close by airport as I had set but not changed to the local frequency when I got back in. (Don't think it was heard as I got no reply) Felt a bit like early circuits again having to cope with high level of workload - other than in being on the ground instead of in the air.
