Why do it if it's not fun?

What a coincidence - yesterday, I went flying with AerBabe, and she asked me to e-mail the flight times to her. So I happen to have my logbook with me.

My last few flights, in reverse order, have the following notes:

- No notes. (The from/to airfields say all it.)
- NDB/ILS approach. Safety passenger: AerBabe.
- NDB hold. NDB/DME approach. Safety passenger: AerBabe.
- No notes.
- Short-field circuits
- Circuits
- No notes
- Pax: my sister
- Pax: my dad. Via OCK, BIG, LAM. (From White Waltham to Elstree - but without the waypoints the start/destination doesn't adequately describe the route, hence I've include the waypoints.)
- IMC skills test: pass

My favourite entry in the Notes column simply reads: "Toilet stop". 1 hour into a 3-hour flight I realised I needed the toilet. Another hour later, I realised I wouldn't survive until my destination, so I diverted. The story of the airfield I diverted to can wait for another day.

My second favourite entry is for the one flight I had in a Pitts Special. It reads: "Dutch rolls. Aileron rolls. Loops. Hammerheads. Cuban 8s. Reverse Cuban 8s. Spins - upright and inverted. Inverted flight. Lomcevac. Landings." And then my instructor's signature, because US instructors seem to like to sign logbooks.
