Chloe's still upset about not getting out for walks, I can see her thinking "you can walk, I've seen you", but I don't feel up to getting dragged around by her just yet.

Chloe was upset at not getting out for a walk again, but other than that, stuck with me the whole day.

In the evening, I started to feel really sick, so I spent the night emptying my entire digestive system using both of the openings.

I then spent the night coughing and sneezing. Gotta love the flu. You see? This is why I don't like people - they make you sick.

Later on, the rain stopped and it was just windy. I noticed one of the bush type devices in the garden falling over, so I went and hacked that back a bit so that hopefully it'll stand up a bit better. Without any sort of twine, I couldn't tie it to the fence, but let's call that plan B. While I had sharp implements in hand, I hacked the crap out of the roses, so that's another job done for the year. Despite the fact that I cleared all the leaves earlier in the week, the front garden is full again, so I can see me wasting another few hours clearing that up as soon as it's dry enough :o(

So in the morning I went to the SPCA, but it seems like everybody had the same idea, so there were 4 or 5 volunteers there. I had more time to walk dogs than usual (no customers getting underfoot), so I even managed to run one of the energetic younger dogs through the agility course several times to knock all the energy out of her. Maybe I'll try and run Chloe through at some point, but she was no good at it when we were at the training classes - she just had no idea what you wanted from her.

I then went to the airfield with the intention of flying, but the wind was blowing 5mph across the runway, so I did a little work on the plane and then went home and rotated the tyres on the car. After an hour or so, I went back to Lincoln, and the wind was blowing across the runway the other way. I decided that it would calm down in a little while, and went for a little flight around the patch, to look at the new housing developments that are going in near me.
The flight was uneventful, and the wind was almost non-existent when I got back, so I landed and put the plane away before it got dark.

In the evening I picked up Scott and Becky, and went to Julie and George's for a leftover turkey dinner. I would have been happy watching TV and eating cheese sandwiches, but Julie said she'd be offended if I didn't come, so I did as I was told.

Stop press: She's home now, with 2 stents inserted to open up blocked veins / arteries.

The guest of honour was Jason Pridmore, and he was actually pretty coherent for a motorcycle racer. When we left, I found that my mirror was broken - the plastic surround, probably from somebody brushing past it at some point. While it sucks, it gives me an excuse to get new mirrors - this was the remaining one of my little F1 mirrors, and they always were overly flimsy, even though they're supposedly "high impact plastic". Maybe there's just not enough of it.

I made a start on getting the YSRs sorted out - I think I'm going to sell one, and try and get the other one back to being a legal street bike. It doesn't look like there's going to be racing at Prairie City ever again :o(

Anyway, in the evening, Debbie came over with Chloe and the stunt runt and we watched the "Revenge of the Sith" DVD, and a fun time was had by all.

I'm really disappointed in how early it gets dark now, as I'll only get to fly at the weekends now :o(
