Windy

I am really disapointed... I tried to fly today, and waited the whole day at the aiport, but there was too much wind. I'm really stressed, because I didn't fly a lot this year, and to renew my flying licence I must have a total amount of 12 hours of flight within the last 12 month. I have 10h17 in my logbook... I asked Yasmin if she wanted to come with me this morning, and we went to the airport, but only to see that there was a lot of wind, with powerful gusts, and I didn't feel confident enough to take the risk of riding the plane in such conditions. The forecast was better for the afternoon, and I waited there to see if the wind was calming down. In fact, if went worse. Yasmin had to leave, and I asked Stan if he wanted to try a bit later, he join me at the airport restaurant around 2pm.

We were looking at some pilots that were doing circuits for training, and as we saw them going around and working hard, we decided not to push our luck and to stay on the ground. We were both so tempted, I think that to abandon the idea of taking off is the harder in aviation. But very often it is the smartest thing to do. A few weeks ago a guy told me not to go and I didn't listen to him. I went and nothing happened, but I noticed in the newpaper that the day after the same plane I used had an accident on landing exactly as the guy told me, I took that as a warning to be more careful, and listen more experienced people. I have some experience, but I'm still a young pilot, and it's a question of training. I didn't fly that much lately, and I would need a more regular practice.

However, I have untill March 30th to fly these last hours I need, or I'll loose my licence :-S I really hope that I will have the possibility to do that next week.

The good thing is that I met Stan, it was cool to sit in front of the tarmac and chat for a moment, commenting the bad landings :) He's coming over tomorrow for dinner, and I'm preparing something great. We couldn't meet in January for his birthday, so it'll be his birthday meal in a way. I was just a bit pissed to see that his girlfriend had just the same idea than me, and offered him a pair of... RayBans :/ At least I have a second one in case I loose mine... he was so happy to wear them and said "oh man, I was so happy when she offered me that!" and I was "yeah yeah... mmmm..." I was really pissed off!

Each time I see him I feel strange, happy and a bit sad on the same time, happy because I love to see him, and sad because he's not gay... We get along so well, and are so connected, it's a gift to have him as friend, but I so much want us to be more than that... *sigh

I'm going to work, I have an appointement with an assistant to chat about my work, and I have to present a preliminary discussion. I didn't write anything untill here, I should hurry up a bit! Have a nice week!
