Another steady day from home yesterday. Goodness knows when I last made an G-A*** but the 61 year old Colt was very gratefully received. Cold again this morning but clear skies so far

32 at Heathrow? - that's a cracking haul Phil. I haven't spent any time there for ages but I'm lucky to make ten there these days. I only spend any real time there 2 or 3 times a year and this was a 7 hour stretch! I don’t really tend to bother with overflights a great deal, so these visits are my airliner catch-ups! That said, I did make a couple over the house yesterday, then on the way to Brighton for football, a quick call by at Blackbushe and 2 Gatwick arrivals seen over the car on the M23 edged my total sightings to 107,000.

Wednesday overcast all morning, during what time I went for a walk and had an hour in the garden filling my green bin prior to collection Thursday- then one LPL inbound hit the books before the rain came. HA-LZT- A321N Wizz inbound LPL Thursday - it's out early this morning taking the Father-in-Law to the Dentist for the first time in 60 years to have a tooth out. The weather is supposed to be ok later- so fingers crossed for something in the book. Happy Days Bob

Started off nice on Friday with almost wall to wall blue skies- so about 09:30am went for my walk and after getting home and having a shower settled down for what I thought would be a good day for spotting, but after a quickfire two one which I had seen on my walk- black clouds appeared and it rained and rained and rained. CS-TVJ- A320N TAP inbound MAN D-AASH- DH8-400 Avanti Air inbound LPL Saturday morning it is still dark outside as I type this- but looks cloudy again. Happy Days Bob

Saturday started off half decent then about eleven o'clock it went horrible with heavy rain showers for most of the remainder of the day, but I still managed two to add to the months total:- C-GNDN- G650 southbound LN-ANP- Beech 200 inbound LPL Sunday and it's dark outside as I type this, at silly o'clock in the morning, but my beloved is going away for a couple of days with her friends on a girly break- so rubbing my hands together, thought to myself I could get a trip out somewhere - how wrong I was - have to take my mother-in-law to the bingo this evening at 6pm, and Monday take her to the hospital for an appointment. So it's stay at home for me- possibly a doubtful cheeky little drive to Barton- but there are a few due in at LPL for the LPL v City game- so it's my den and scanning the skies if there is any blue that is.
