Day: May 9, 2022

As I type this the weather is fine for flying (wind about 6 kmh from the east) and it’ll remain about the same all day. And I’ve got my cameras charged and my route planned and loaded into my GPS. It’s a roughly two hour flight taking in Figeac, Castelsarrasin in the Tarn-et-Garonne, which I’ve not been to before, and Fumel.

There’s only one problem. About 11 or 12 years ago I had keyhole surgery on the joint of my right knee which is now beginning to wear off and whenever I over-exert it I pay a price. After having hauled the aircraft around at Malbec a couple of days ago and worked to reorganise my ‘hospitality’ area outside my caravan yesterday, I paid really dearly last night. I suffered agonies and had an awful night’s sleep and the problem is that my knee is still very painful this morning.

So I think that it would be a good idea to leave things this morning, give my knee a couple more days to recover and do the flight later in the week. Thursday looks like a good day and I don’t think a delay of a couple of days or so will make any difference 😉
