French Nationals Day 2

Monday and again we have bad weather! At least the breakfast here is good... Free is good! They have organised the retrieve service, a hearty breakfast and a lunch pack for all the pilots each day and service with a smile!! What more could you possibly ask... Oh Yeah.... Flying....!!!


The Meteo suggests we may have a chance to fly tomorrow early afternoon only, otherwise it may not be until Thursday before the competition starts in earnest. Today the French had a discussion about sprogs with an open question session hosted by Xavier Zaza and ably assisted by Raymond Caux, Mario Alonzi and Fabien Agenes. They might well have been sharing cooking recipes for all I understood!

Instead I watched some aerobatics by the paragliders who braved the rain showers then listened to some classical music whilst the Italian in our Gite prepared our evening meal…

Just wait until it’s my turn to prepare a good old fashioned British meal... do you think they’ll appreciate a greasy sausage dinner wit’ chips’n’peas followed up with a Mars bar!!? Nothing better after a quick pint of mild and a walk back home past the mill/pit with your whippet and a copy of the racing post!

Now I have to admit to getting bored of not flying! I took up running again whilst here a few days ago in an effort to get a little fitter and although the first warm up effort was only for half an hour my legs have been a little stiff! Likely due to all the hills here. Nevertheless I'm off shortly for a cycle ride before we have dinner Italian style!
Ciao for now!!
