Day: March 19, 2012

I was thinking about having perhaps an hour’s flying yesterday but the weather forecast was a bit iffy. Actually, the Met Office web site indicated that the weather in the south-east would be not too bad for the whole day but the TAF for Southend said that things would get distinctly nasty going into the afternoon with thunderstorms and hailstones expected later on!

So I decided to give it a miss, and it turned out to be the right decision. Firstly, although we didn’t get the full works predicted by the Southend TAF, we did get rain preceded by low cloud and a freshening of the wind, so flying wouldn’t have been all that enjoyable in those conditions. But instead of flying, I decided that I had to get cracking clearing my spare room, because following conversations at the end of last week with the estate agent in Montignac and my buyer over here, my house move will soon become imminent and unless I get rid of all my rubbish and other unwanted stuff, I’ll be left with it all to do.

It was hard work but a day (well, OK then, afternoon 😐 ) well spent. I got quite a few recycling and rubbish bags filled up and realised just how much I still have to do. So that was a good thing – now I know I really must start getting my finger out 😉
