Cheers Jeff, I was trained for fixed wing and helicopters. In the photo the Captain said I could sit up front for the take off. We were flying down to Majorca to pick up a 5 year old with an acute and unstable Juvenile Diabetes. That day, I had 3 patients to look after, the little girl and a couple who had been badly injured in a motorcycle accident. Photos with the casualties/patients were not allowed.

Good morning all, I went back to the garage yesterday to ask them what was going on with their prices. I told them they needed to look round for a better deal for their customers or they would go elsewhere. I showed the manager an app I use called AUTODOC, which gives discounts. The price of the £150 magetised bearing he quoted, I could get for £44. I said I am a pensioner and I can’t afford his high prices. He double checked his tyre prices of £100 per tyre and said he had made a mistake with the tyre size and price. The price changed from £200 for 2, to £124. He had been educated

The forecast is rain tomorrow, or it doesn’t apply

I'd best get the outside tomato plants moved inside the greenhouse later today.
Still recovering from last night's rain here, 60% of August rainfall came in the space of two hours! Edinburgh-Glasgow rail line still flooded and we're going to get thumped again tomorrow.

Chucking it down here.

But managed to get the grass cut and the gardens weeded before the weather turned.
