Lousy Rain…

So, the UK is apparently not a very good place to be as a paragliding pilot right now…it’s rained every day since I’ve got here. The rain is so bad that it’s caused localized flooding, which thankfully has not been an issue in the area I’ve been staying.

I got a lot of work business-wise done over the last few days, so the rain has been good for something. But not flying has been driving me a bit mad. The Rush I’m borrowing is sitting in the living room, and as I stare at the box it’s sitting in and then look through the window, it eats me up inside.

But, weather aside, England is very pretty. Yesterday we visited Sherbourne Castle and went to a pub for quiz night. It’s been fun, but *sigh*, it’d be so nice to fly.

Inside the Party Room in Sherborne Castle - sssshhhhhh, pictures aren't allowed


We didn't discuss posing for this pic - amusing how it turned out


Local tap - I think I'm slowly becoming a regular

On Wednesday we’re going to Switzerland for a day, and hopefully I’ll get to fly out there…not sure if it’ll be a possibility or not. But hey, spending a day in Switzerland was not something I expected, so I’m looking forward to it.

Canada looks like it’s completely scorching right now – mmmmmm….I hope the warm weather will be waiting for me when I get home.

You're right, I didn't talk about my birthday!

It was actually a lot of fun, and I'm glad that you and the others came out - thank you. :)

I'm happy you all treated me to the "traditional" English birthday of curry and beer!

Thanks too for the jar of Nutella.
