A perfect day ...

Well yesterday turned out to be a perfect day as far as I was concerned ....

Firstly - walked up at Menstrie with wing, used walking poles - but still sweating profusely on arraival at the top. I was about to launch when others started arriving and I met the legendary Snowy for the first time. I reverse launched in very light conditions a little later to have a 10 minute boat around / ttb -lovely. I didn`t see any of these pilots flying afterwards but I am sy=ure they will have had a lovely time - anyhow I enjoyed it immensely. Then walked back to car and back home at about 1.30pm.  On landing the clouds looked epic though some overdevelopment occurred and a light shower did take place later in the afternoon.

Returned home had a soft drink and then walked into town to join Ping - just purchased some odds and ends and gifts for Pings forthcoming trip to parents in law. Then wemt to Druthy Neebors for another soft drink and then wandered home. Not home for long when Chris called and said he would be arriving in about 15 minutes. Quick mad tidyup occurred and then Chris Mhairi, Fraser and Alasdair arrived - had a lovely conversation which continued on when we went to Nando`s - really nice to see them all - and to be honest the food wasn`t too bad either.  Good crack.  On returning home then Ping said we could watch the latest LoveFilm DVD we had - Belle Epoque - with a couple of glasses of wine - ends a perfect day.
