A glorious day, shame it was so windy. There was little wind here first thing, and we considered going to the Malverns, but within 15 minutes it had started howling. We spent a mega relaxing day gardening.

The forecast was terrible for today, but the rain held off for most of the day. Getting the book completely finished took a lot longer than I expected, but at 7.30pm International Perspectives on Educational Interpreting was with the printers and I am now waiting for the approval copy.
Simon has come up from Brighton to fly here for a few days. We’re actually quite hopeful that we will get a couple of days of XC weather.

Geoff writes: Is this the worst May ever? Well, it’s getting that way. More wind, more rain. Did work, DIY, and Judith went to the gym this evening.
But, just maybe, it might be flyable tomorrow, at least for the hang glider. We’ll see….

The weather blues continues. Heavy showers and a howling gale. I realise I am a lily-livered semi-Spaniard these days, but I’m constantly cold and it’s just not right to have the heating on in May, surely?
I edited the XC flying podcast, which is available through the link at the top of the page.

Michaela and Wayne came round for dinner last night and after breakfast we recorded a podcast describing and analysing our XC flight from the Malverns last Sunday. Should be available in the next 24 hours, from the podcast page.
The weather was pants as usual, so Geoff and I went on a DIY and furniture shopping spree, which was curtailed after about the fifth shop, when Geoff could take no more. Unusually, we were quite sucessful, as we managed to get 90% of the items on the shopping list.

A few weeks ago they announced on the news that this year we would have a BBQ summer with hot weather and record temperatures. I hope the forecaster who predicted this is currently in hiding. It’s a disaster! Rain, cold, wind. The weather is taking a turn for the better in Catalonia and we are getting excited emails from the Parapente Girona list about how good they think the weekend is going to be. I looked at flights back to Spain this morning, but they are so expensive, I have decided to go for the cheaper option and just unsubscribe from the Parapente mailing list.

Rain and mist but no wind! We played squash for the first time in about 7 months. Geoff thrashed me as usual, although by the end I did come back from 8 – 0 down to be beaten 9 – 7.
I’m shattered!
