Kaiser Chiefs

Well, here ends another week in SA. Sorry no updates to blog, but nofink happened and I'd prefer not to bore you with 'today was ok the weather was good, I had a crap at 8.20am, etc'.

Got back to hotel to find the Kaiser Chiefs are here tonight in the bar.

Unfortunately that is the SA football team and not the band.

So, after some contractural screwups my 2 week stay has been cut short and I am back on the plane to blighty tomorrow. First class again, which is nice. Though I'd have to say on reflection that business class is just as good if not better in some ways (less of the yes sir/no sir/fluff your pillow sir)...though I must admit being in the nose of a 747 with 3 windows either side of you is pretty cool.. you feel like you are in an airship.

I hummed and hawed about some other adventure tomorrow, but in the end decided that a day by the pool with a few beers is what I need. So this could be the last blog entry until I take to the skies next time...

...but I'm hoping that will be next week in my cutting edge paramotor rather than in the arcane 747 'jet' I have had to slum it in recently.

talking of which, a fellow Lemming (my paramotor club) just completed flying from lands end to john o groats in his paramotor (a parajet like mine). good on im.

Mine is still buggered, but I have high hopes that some garage fiddling will bring it back to life having been on the phone to parajet for some likely fixes during the week.
