Aviation news

 While I'm feeling a lot better, I'm still not a 100%.  Anyway some trends I've noticed aviation wise.

  Commercial aircraft seem to be suffering a rash of engine issues, mostly resulting in returning to the take off airport.

 In the same  group turbbulence incidents seem on the rise, there was a spike a few months ago, and it's happening again.  Some of these have been serious involving injuries.  Keep your seat belt done up tight, it might save you an injury or worse..

 Smoke in the cabin seems to be popular at the moment, as does phone catching fire on aircraft.

 In light aviation, ultra light aircraft are having a bad time accident wise, these all too often result in fatalities..   Theres also been a rise in light aircraft suffering engine issues, this normally results in a forced landing with mixed results.

 The enging issues are often caused by contamination of fuel, water is a known problem, pilots should check for this before takeoff.  Remember if you loose the enging on takeoff, DO NOT TURN BACK.  Thats a good way to stall and spin in, not a good way to go.  Look ahead for a field or road, mayday and make an emergency landing.  It's safer..

Feeling better....

 

 Well on the plus side I'm feeling a lot better, on the minus side I'm still weak and tired, and not a 100% by any means, but I am up to going for a walk now at least.

 Hopefully I'll be able to get some photos over the next few days, given weather (dont want a soaking) and how I'm feeling.

 Might try the woods later, and see if theres any shots left, sadly most of the leaves are down now.

 Now I need to start the long walks again to get my fitness back, 2 weeks of doing bugger all has hit me.

Might be on the mend?

 

 Well today I'm feeling ever so slightly better.  This bug or whatever is a total bastard, coupled with me getting older and my immune system getting weaker, it's given me a right kicking.  

 The last two weeks I've been grim, hardly bothering with the computer, and hardly leaving the house, I just havent felt up to it.  Forcing myself to go shopping when stuff ran out.

 Today I've got a bit more energy, I even cleaned the cooker (A job I HATE) and it looks better for it, I was knackered after that and sweeping up the leaves so I could see my car again.

 I'm also not eating a lot, and I like my food normally.  I havent weighed myself, but I bet I've lost a fair it of weight.  Tempted to get a bag of chips tonight.

Still ill

 

 Sorry theres not much in the way of posts, truth is I'm still ill.  The last few months I've had a pasting.  I had blood poisoning, covid (which wasnt too bad) and recently another bug.  This ones a bastard!  It's hit the crap out of me.

I'm feeling really grim, I cant really get out I'm so rough, I'm starting to wonder when this is going to easy off.  I've been really bad for over a week.  The joke is wearing thin now, I want to be able to get out and about.

Update

 I know I havent posted anything for a few days, sorry folks I'm i'll.  I picked up a really nasty virus or something, it's hit hell out of me,  I'm still knackered and waking up soaked in sweat, and feel like a limp rag.  No energy.  

I've got a few pics from last week, I'll try and edit and post them later.
