Some avaition news

 A courious week avaition wise.  A Boeing 767 of Austrian airways diverted for an emergency landing after a strange smell in the cabin.  Not too unusual, except it's the third time this aircraft has suffered an incident in the past 2 years.  Unlucky plane?

 A woman was killed after being hit by a landing aircraft at Broken bow airport, she was mowing the grass by the runway at the time.

 4 different aircraft have hit powerlines and either crashed or made emergency landing, sadly 2 lost their lives.

Theres been a similar run of aircraft landing in water this week, fortunatly with no loss of life, courious how you get a run of similar accidents with no real connection.

Leaves, leaves and .... leaves

 

 Yes in case you missed the title... it's leaves.

It's going to be one of those days

 

Yep, it's going to be one of those days!  I've woken up with a mega headache, which tablets and a short nap haven't got rid of.. that means I'm probably stuck with it till I go to bed tonight.  I cant be bothered to make food for myself, and I'm not that hungry with the headache anyway.

I cant find a USB lead I got yesterday, it's to connect a torch to my phone (long story) it's also a long lead when I only needed about a foot, think this ones 3 metres, still I can live with that..... well if I could find the sod!

My internet seems to be on a go slow, rather like Wales and the daft 20mph idea dreamed up by dozy politicians trying to make it look like they are doing something.  They are, they are ruining Wales.  £32 million to change the road signs, when the Welsh NHS is falling apart.  Well done!

The weather is grim due to storm Agnes or whatever bloody silly name this one has (why do they need a name?) It was a bit windy last night when I was putting my pizza box in the car, but I've seen it a LOT worse, and it's eased off today.  Although to be fair my house is pretty sheltered even though I'm near the coast.

I spent some time yesterday charging batteries.  I have a good few camera batteries, sadly they are not standard, I have three different Canon batteries, Sony and Lumix batteries, thats without all the many varied torch batteries and my new video light battery.  Now I need to shuffle them back into the various bags.  Oh joy.

All given the black and white conversion is silver effects in photoshop.
