Ah!
The sound of round motors.
4 yellow Stearmans in formation overhead my abode followed (as I type this) by a C-47 of the Commemorative Air Force (PC name of The Confederate Air Force) enroute to the National Memorial Cemetery a few miles north for Memorial Day service.

More round motors.
Looked like 3T-6s plus one other A/C.
They were already past Chez Phlyer when I got outside with nothing showing on FR24.

Ah you mean Harvards!

Retired by the SAAF in 1996, the last air force in the world to retire the venerable trainer.

My better half had a great day out with her 7 year old nephew et al. A good weekend was had by all.

I must admit the British weather did us proud this bank holiday weekend. I trust ops-normalisers had a good one wherever they are.

Here she clasps another Maldon viper to her bosom.

Maldon viper?

House creaking at times through the night as if hordes of hobyahs were tramping through it. Presume gusts of wind hitting at an unusual angle.
11.5°C at present, expecting 15°C.

Orf out in a little while for one or two engagements.

9c outside this morning! A bit of a shock....

Back from my evening walk. Cold and windy. Watched the usual evening A380 climbing away from LHR in the last rays of sun.

I would rather hear the version where they eat the cruel man and leave the little girl and dog to live happily ever after.

You clearly know more about this subject than I do PHP! I still cry when I read the Brothers Grimm!

I have told Mrs 4ma that bank holiday visits to A&E are getting to be a bit of a habit.

She had developed a nasty irritating rash all over her body during the day and was visibly getting worse so she rang 111. After speaking at some length to the person on t'other end, she was told to get herself down to our local A&E sharpish.

Took her down, walked in, directed to side room where a nurse practitioner was waiting. She was checked over, diagnosed as hives, given some tablets and sent on her way. Total time in A&E was 18 minutes - can't complain about that. Didn't even have to pay a car parking fee.


Now trying to work out what she has suddenly become allergic to.

Bank Holidays!

CEOs are allergic to them - they have to give workers a day off or pay them extra.
Perhaps she caught it from one of them?

It's an allergy problem not a tolerance one!

Hang on! We've been together for over 40 years , so maybe it is.

An allergy is an itch that you cannot scratch. Sounds like love to me!

Horsehair.

Horsehair fabric is in demand by traditional chair makers/repairers. It's pretty hard to get hold of now, but a mate found some in a deceased estate auction. He reckons he has enough to last him for the rest of his life.

Another blue sky day, a bit warmer. Currently 16c, 20c max. forecast.

The crystal clear nights of late give way to pretty much cloudless skies upon my awakening. The accompanying 0c. temp.is something the body can do
without, but I suppose that is climate change, IE the change from Autumn to Winter that is responsible for the run of low temperatures, and they say the
Earth is warming!

'orrible little tale, isn't it. The sort of thing Peter Sellers' 'Auntie Rotter' would tell and then halfway through coo "Orf to bed, kiddies!"
