What a shock!

I was sitting here in my garden in the uncustomary silence of a warm spring Sunday afternoon, when - horror of horrors - the sound of an engine in the sky assailed my ears!

Bloody helicopter.

I'd bet money on its being a police one. Somehow the engine didn't have the same sense of urgency in its throb as the air ambulance has....

Thanks for the information about Eric Moody, the BA volcano-pilot's website, Diane. Sadly, the world and its ninety-seven million cousins has tried to have a look, and it's exceeded its bandwidth!

  3. The airplanes flying around here where I live, when they pas, feel like a freaking steam-engine locomotive. I hate it. What is with all these damn planes flying anyway? They seem to be flying overhead during certain times. Interfers with me t.v. watching. I just hope that with all this flying, the government is protecting the damn country.
