    Morning all

    Happy Birthday Poohbear

    Hugs all round. Really must get some flying done today, starting with a HHC in the kitchen once I've collected the bedding the kids stripped before school.

    "Perhaps the most valuable result of all education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do, when it ought to be done, whether you like it or not; it is the first lesson that ought to be learned; and however early a man's training begins, it is probably the last lesson that he learns thoroughly."

    Thomas H. Huxley
