GuinessQueen,

You're not the only one who works for a living... I do too but it turns out that in my 5 week rota I get 16 days off, well 17 if you count the day I start the week of nights.

At the moment I'm on my 4th out of 7 days off in a row...

Ah the joys of the IT industry (thanks BT!).

Charlie Zulu.

Half a dozen circuits at Woodford with some useful crosswind landing practice

Very nice trip (with 2 pax) out of base airfield and around London on Tues evening, in our newest 172 (another SP, delivered in Feb, the one on the stand at London Airshow if anyone went).

Was surprised (but actually quite grateful, in all that tight airspace) that it was so quiet for such a nice evening.

Usual excellent service from Thames and Farnborough on the way around

Sitting staring rabidly at my screen and an uncompleted Monthly Report, contemplating my first Guinness for 5 days after a course of antibiotics necessary to slow down my racing innards. Looking forward to the end of my shift on the 11th August when I get 28 days off Bet it'll be raining in the UK by then though

Thanks Rustle.

Nothing too adventurous. just round the local VRPs, but I'm told it was classed as cross country as I was more than 3 nm from the airfield.

And yes, it is a rather good game, if a tad costly.
