...was today's Saturday 10th Dec 2011. At least down here. Flew EBZH-EBZH-EBLN-ENML-EBZH, 130 mins total tach time (estimated) at only 4000 rpm, be nice to the engine and to the cost of fuel. Worth remembering was my missing the circuit at EBML - flew it on the North side where it DID be shown to the South - got promptly yet kindly corrected after landing, and went for a quick lunch. That's to say, quick was my idea but the poor charming young lady was rather overloaded ("sursollicitee") so that I still spent close on an hour.
Worse than the missed circuit and the slow food service was my intercom operating erratically at the beginning, I thought no worse than a dirty contact but by the time I came to EBML the bloody thing was dead, not even a LED left alive, so no comms at all, I could just press the Tx on the A6 to make people aware someone was around. The intercom is now on my - ahum - electronics workbench, to get the best care I can manage tomorrow.
