Dinner was shirley goodes pancakes with cheese and chicken which was actually rather nice - but not for DH wh has let it go cold whilst on his work mobile, grr. Stupid job.
Hugs for Phil - both my parents are retired teachers. I take it early retirment through ill health is not an option? I remember reading somewhere that they had closed the option which is a shame.
hugs for Flower too - just infuriating isn't it?

Evening everyone

Sorry to report no flying for me today. I was on my way back to work after I recovered from whiplash injury and accident and.......on the way there someone crashed into me again :mad: Making this 2 accidents in 4 weeks to the day....
So will have to see how stiff/sore I am tomorrow to see if I can do any flying. I am upset about this as was looking forward to see if I could fit the flying into full time work. Good job I have completed the last 2 weeks lists and the house looks better as a result and doesn't need a full deep clean as a result. Hopefully the injury hasn't been aggrevated too much so I can do some flying!

How awful Fedupas - I hope you'll not have any relapsed. Is there much damage to the car?
Well, DW seemed to stick on the final '1' again so I opened it up and reset it anyway. It's all mostly dry. It's now unloaded but I think I need to watch it carefully for a couple of days (no more putting it on when I go to bed at night!). Off to sort out some dinner now - quick and easy bacon and onion sauce with pasta methinksI am the leading lady in the movie of my life
