    8. Hey all, I'm back after being AWOL for a week or so. Been very busy getting everything sorted with the house, I've Freecycled a whole load of stuff, got rid of clothes and things I'm never going to wear. Having a clothes swap late October so I have to get everything ready before then!

      As for this weeks flying, I'll have to do as much as I can tomorrow, now off to make dinner.
