  • Afternoon all. Welcome to all new to the thread and (((hugs))) to all in need.
    DD has been waking more at nights so my broken sleep is even more broken:eek: . I am tired and have not managed much flying. Just had a friend drop by and had to make excuses for the state of my place again:o :o . Not happy about that:mad: :mad: . I have been having early earlier nights with the hope that I would be able to do more the next day. :p:( Did not work for me. So I resolve to do some flying no matter how tired I feel because that’s how it works little and often. Grand may never get done. That said my grand plan today is to get the week end list done today. All of it. I haven’t decided which room I will do to level 3 yet but one will get done. My penance for not flying well recently (kitchen) or my reward for a valuable learning experience (kids room). Well off to collect all the laundry from around the house, wash them and get them dried. Will try to put some on the radiators and some out side and only TD crucial items.
    Happy flying
    irie
