Going bonkers!

I’m sitting indoors at my computer working on documents for the planning application for the work I want to do on my house. The sun is shining outside and it’s probably warmer outdoors than it is inside because it’ll take a while before the walls of my house start to absorb the heat and warm up. Much as I’d love to be outside, preferably doing something with one of my aircraft, I can’t stop because the work has got to be done. So I’m slowly going bonkers, even more so because the firm that is supposed to be taking out my big old lime tree promised to do it by the end of this week and, of course, hasn’t turned up. One of the problems of France, unfortunately.

I’m consoling myself with the thought that looking ahead a bit, the weather forecast just gets better and better. Tomorrow and Sunday look good for flying, albeit with a bit of a northerly wind, but by the end of next week we expect to be getting balmy days with light winds and temperatures up at 17 or 18 degrees Celsius. That’s more like it! So with a bit of luck, this week-end I should be able to get the covers off the X-Air, give it a check-over and get an ad up on Le Bon Coin and later on in the week, I’ll also have the covers off the Savannah and be able to get a few hours in that as well.

Life is looking up – the cherry on the top would be if I find a quick buyer for 56NE 😉

  1. Hi Tim, very nice to hear from you and thanks for your kind comments. I’m off this morning to help get the new roof fitted to Philippe’s hangar which means that any time now he’ll be able to get his aircraft back into it and out of the barn. I’ll then be able to move the Savannah into it as I’d originally planned, so that’s good news. The men are also definitely (they’ve promised) turning up this Thursday to take my big old lime tree out, so everything’s good. If they do turn up that is. Watch this space!

  2. Hi Roger,

    Just wanted to say that I read your blog quite frequently and enjoy your both your DIY’er and flying stories.

    Hope the weather turns for you soon and that you manage to get the Savanah under proper cover!

    Thanks again for the late night reading……………

    Best wishes

    Tim Allan
