Busy busy…

The weather last Sunday was bright and breezy and I got two flights with over 2 hours flying in, which was good. I took my first passenger both times – my old friend Ken with whom I bought the original Our Trike over three years ago. How time flies – it doesn’t seem anything like that long ago 😯

We first flew north-west out of Linton over where Ken lives and later on we flew north-east over Faversham. For once, although there was a chilly northerly breeze, the air was pretty calm and we had an almost smooth ride!

I set the camcorder up pointing out over the nose and this time I angled it more or less correctly. I’m pleased with the results and I’d hoped to have put them into the gallery by now, but I’ve been busy this week and haven’t finished the editing yet. I’d hoped to get a landing on tape but yet again, I didn’t stop the tape while flying and it ran out just as we were rejoining to land back at Linton! I’ll do it one day I’m sure 😕

One of the things I’ve been busy doing is starting work to convert the large tarpaulin I bought into fitted covers for MYRO. I can’t afford new ones so I said, ‘Darn it, I’ll make my own!’ I cut the first sections out of the tarpaulin last weekend and picked up a brilliant over-50 years old Singer sewing machine that I got off Ebay so I’ve been doing some experimenting to find out how the machine works and how to go about making the covers. I’ve got the idea now so I’ll see how things go. This week-end is going to be wet and windy and I would like to have got the covers finished and on, but I doubt I’ll be able to do that in time.

Anyway, watch this space. Must go, busy busy… 😉
