    evening everyone!

    Not been flying lots so far today as I've been on a school trip with DD (she's 6) and the rest of her class.. am exhausted!! :o

    Did level 1 before I left, and might attempt level 2 now, although a rather large G&T is calling... :rotfl:

    Hopefully will catch up properly tomorrow. Hope everyone is ok?

    Didn't get to winchester in time for my training course tonight due to traffic on the M3 so am home unexpectedly early. Can't decide whether to indulge and have a long bath then get ready for tomorrow, or be sensible and attempt to make some inroads into the chaos in the house. I'll see how my energy levels are when I've found some food...
