    Sunday Afternoon: Cloudy with showers, 19C. I just went out for a fly with the Tiger Moth, but it started to rain again and I had to land, it's foam and electric, rains no good, apart form the fact that I didn't want to get wet. Before that I had watched the Rugby World Cup Final, that gave me a stonking headache, talk about stressful! But it only ever gets like that when you have an emotional attachment, so I guess having spent half my life in NZ, I have one. What a tense and stressful 80 minutes that was, all except the last 2 minutes it was anybody's game!

    The rest of the week has been much cooler too and it rained a lot on Friday night and there were showers yesterday.  On Wednesday evening we all went to Ondara because Antony wanted to look at the helicopters there, but were unable to find one suitable for the right price.... I felt crook Thursday and totally crashed Friday... good old shopping centres, but sometimes you can't avoid going and this was one of those times.... I did get a Big Mac though.



    Squadron!     The second little helicopter arrived and has been set up for the first transmitter, but other than a very short test flight, this was only it's second outing and after the picture it has been put back in it's box as the back up.....
