The weather that is. For the moment anyway. It seems to have peaked since my last post and those long, warm, sunny days that we enjoyed earlier in the month are behind us for now. For the last few days we’ve woken up to fog that has taken until after lunch-time to clear, by which time it has been too late to work up very much of a temperature in the afternoon. And the visibility hasn’t been that great either. I took off on Friday for a flight south but had to land back at Galinat after 20 minutes, not because of anything to do with the aircraft or the weather, fortunately. I didn’t bother taking off again because it was a bit breezy and bumpy, although that wasn’t the reason why I returned to the airfield, and since then we’ve had several windy days, fog, as I mentioned above, and even a bit of rain.<\/p>\n
My friend Val came to stay for a few days over the Easter week-end and we had a great time with dinner with friends on Friday and a Chinese meal on Monday. Only Easter Monday was a holiday (jour f\u00e9ri\u00e9) in France and she left to return to work on Tuesday. I’d hoped to get a flight in today but was thwarted by the morning fog and although it was forecast to be bright overcast this afternoon with light rain later, it’s still dull as I type this and it looks as though the rain is moving in a bit earlier than was expected. So that’s it, and as the forecast is for rain every day for the next week, with even some possible thunderstorms thrown in, it looks as though 56NE will be remaining under-covers for a while yet. I’ve still got the flight south all planned and ready to go, and I wanted to try out my camcorder mount again, which I’ve stiffened in an attempt to get rid of the vibration, but now that’ll have to wait until things begin to look up again, whenever that may be.<\/p>\n
Beginning of May? Who knows. What’s the bet that yet again, the old enemy, the Jetstream, is to blame for all this … \ud83d\ude10<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
