I'm having one of those frustrating days it seems, despite half hearted efforts I just can't get my head together........it's all jumbled bits and pieces. I have a 1001 things I ought to, or want to be doing but thus far am unable to even muster the presence of mind to organise them into some sort of priority, let alone get doing any of them!
So instead I am alternating between gazing uselessly out of the window and staring blankly at this screen trying to string a few sentences together!
My random, disorganised thoughts are frequently interrupted by my own private 'air show', military jets hurtling overhead at what seems only about 50 foot. The only thing my 'ex' left me with a slight passion for, is military aircraft and here the airspace is used by the forces for low level practice. The locals hate it, complain bitterly about the earth shattering noise that comes from out of nowhere. I love it! These guys have the ultimate 'boys toys' and they play impressively!! Ok..... so those of you who know about that stuff will doubtless say its all 'fly by wire' etc. but hell it's impressive. It won't ever cease to amaze me how one can have the abiltiy to be upside down, pulling that sorta 'G', close enough that I can see the pilot and still be in control! I struggle with a car at times! :o)
My days of being able to identify each and every one of them are gone....probably a good thing, but there is some damn scary hardware up there.
What's more scary is the obvious increase in air traffic that goes hand in hand with any international political wranglings being reported at the time!!

Bloody hell - have I taught you nothing woman - some of them there pilots with their boys' toys might even be WOMEN!
If you're going to pontificate on the world wide doo-dah, you have a duty to be inclusive in your use of language - think of your nieces... don't limit their imagination by writing them out of the picture.
Blimey I'm so diversity trained - I scare myself sometimes...
Hope you get your head back together soon - what an unattractive mess otherwise xx
Oh you taught me plenty sweetie! ......... but hell.....don't ruin my fantasy! :o)
I made no suggestion that my pontifications on this world wide do-dah would be sane, sound or sensible, does the title not say 'random thoughts'?and I accept as a compliment the the inference that my head might ever have been anything other than an unattractive mess!x.
