east_sider, don't believe what you've been told about safety, not letting first solo students go up in conditions they can't handle and such. The only reason they do not let you go out on windy days is that you'll remember your first solo forever, and instructors know this. So they want the memory to be good. CAVOK and wind calm makes a perfect memory.
Sunday and Monday look good, at least where I am. Might be a bit windy though.

I've been stuck on the ground due ear infection/cold....so have been catching up on my studies for IMC/ATPLS. Oh joy! Doesn't help that the view out of my window right now is showing clear skies too!

Just got around to looking at my daughter's photos from Wednesday. We had our first family day out and here we are descending deadside for 02 at Caernarfon. The conditions were perfect and there was hardly any traffic.

I've spent a couple of hours in a classroom doing Nav (with a very nice man) and then spent the rest of the day sitting in the sun watching OTHER people flying

But the wx forecast for tomorrow is good
...so I should get a PPL lesson in, followed closely by a stress busting aeros session
