Sam Palmer Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 A plane just flew over our house and I wondered where it had been and is going... quick google and found this map showing previous flights - scary if you speed it up and zoom right out This can easily become addictive! I'm now listening out for planes going over my house, then watching how fast they go by on the map to and from Heathrow. And comparing how noisy they seem here to how far away from me they look on the map. I think I'd better shut it down now and go and do something a bit more constructive!

Griffin Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Will be leaving shortly to drop the girls off at my parents house where they'll be staying until Tuesday. Child free days! Mr Griffin and I will be terribly bored, complain constantly that we miss them and will spend the next few days twiddling our thumbs He's on-call so we can't even go anywhere exciting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Just done the race for life locally, 32 minutes, so not as good as my fastest time of 27 minutes but not bad for an old girl. Phil met me at the finishing line with a 99 cone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing is Sam, it's not live data - the most recent they can publish is 48 hours old, owing to security. Oh well, I'll be looking up this morning's 8:20 flight on Monday - it was so low, I could see them waving (not really ) Just done the race for life locally, 32 minutes, so not as good as my fastest time of 27 minutes but not bad for an old girl. Phil met me at the finishing line with a 99 cone WELL DONE! I think he should have nmet you with 99 x 99 cones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Hubby and I fitted an automatic pophole opener to the spare chicken coop today, which we are going to move the girls into. We're going to leave it doing its own thing for a few days, to make sure it doesn't malfuntion and lock the hens in or out Then, when we move the girls in, it will be good bye early mornings and having to ask the neighbours to shut the hens away if we are out late Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't Nobody Here Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Just seen YS off for a week's conservation work with the National Trust for Scotland. Great thing to put on your UCAS/job application forms . He's texted to say he's the only Scot in the group . He'll be helping to repair the path up Ben Lomond and possibly clearing vegetation.

patsylabrador Posted July 31, 2011 Author Share Posted July 31, 2011 DS has taken DD to minor injuries clinic. Apart from mashed up leg she has a tick embedded in her arm. I couldn't get it out & what they can cause scares me so I thought a nurse would be better. I'll tell you something for nothing - I have not enjoyed today.
