French Spitfire

Must have taken ages for this pilot to have built this half scale spitfire....

Terrorism?

Now all I saw was a headline on a newspaper. It said that 11 people have been charged with terrorism.... blimey - I thought all the Pakistani Cricket Team did was tamper with the ball (allegedly)... but to charge them with terrorism is a bit much isn't it...

British Sign Language

Was chatting to someone at the weekend about sign language. so I thought I'd share with you a couple of signs that amused me at least.

Airplane - Make your right hand into an airplane with the thumb and little finger as the wings. Now make it fly towards the person as shown.

 

OK - now hold you left hand out flat. Make the "plane" land on your left hand. Great... that's the sign for an airport

 

Football, Charlie and spotting

Whoops a bit more catching up to do on the blog so here goes….

Sat 5

First home match of the season. I said in my last blog that I was excited by the new season. Well we got beat, and beat badly. Oh well, one less game till the end of the season!

Sun 6

Chairs, Sue’s dad has made us some chairs out of pallets and they are fab….. similar to these


Thu 10

Gutting news, my best friend Charlie, who I work with is leaving. Getting a job in Southampton. I’m sure going to miss him. But really please for him. Glad he’s getting out before wasting a life here like I have done. Good luck Charlie.

Fri 11 - Sun 13

Bristol balloon festival… The weather played a major part in ensuring that nothing flew on the days we were there. But still some nice balloons did inflate. Pics at
Peters aircraft photos site

Tue 15

My mate Paul, plus Jimmy and Duncan all went off plane spotting. Stansted and Heathrow. Paul took my to a place round the back of Stansted that I’ve never been to before. It was fab… Sat in chairs on the grass, watching the aircraft. Great. Plus my first proper visit to Heathrow for years… lots of new aircraft around… Japan Air Lines Boeing 777, China Eastern A340 among the new ones…. Great day..

Maybe I'll think of a title by the end of it

Again another catch up blog. Must get organised and write these on a daily basis. OK last Thursday I went to RAF Shawbury to see all the stored RAF aircraft there and a jolly good day out it was. Many pics will appear on this site when I get a chance to. Too many things I want to do, but not enough time. Now if only I could give up work. that would be good. Give me more time for more important things like blogging.

Well football season starts tomorrow.. looking forward to it in some ways... the excitement(?) of the game, seeing old friends again etc. and earning a couple of quid selling my tickets.

Garden has done OK, so far eaten tons of Tomaoes, runner beans, peas and potatoes and still got loads growing as well...

I think that about it for now...
