My flying lesson

I am working very seriously on my flying so I went to the airfield yesterday to continue my lessons.When we arrived, the plane was waiting in the parking lot.

The first thing we had to do, was prepare the plane for our flight. Doesn't papa look serious here? I started by relaxing on the balcony for a while, while Papa ran around looking for the keys.

Next, it was the turn of putting the plane in position, which I delegated to Papa. After all, he should do something as well. I went and stood on the balcony and instructed him to do the right thing.

Next we had to fuel the plane. So we went to fetch the fuel bowser. I pumped the fuel into the plane.

And then Papa started checking if there was enough fuel in the tank while I drove the bowser away, though not very far because it was switched off.

When Papa checked the fuel gauge, the plane did not have enough. So then he decided to do the high-tech way of filling. Look how he does it, compared to me.

While he was doing all that, I decided that I wanted to dance around for a bit before the flight. It can be tiring, flying the plane.

And then we had to go to put the bowser away. So here I am, helping Papa drive it away.

And then I decided to fuel myself with some water and do the pre-flight checks. All logos in place and so we were ready to go.

And here is my bird ready and waiting to take off. And so am I.After all, the pilot has to look good.

And here we are taking off and in the air. Did you notice the jaunty angle that I fly it at.

Hurrah, we are back after our flight. It was a very still evening and so the flight was very smooth though I did feel funny in the stomach when the plane turned too sharply.

Anyway, you can see who looks cool as a cucumber after the flight and who looks tired.

I really truly enjoyed my evening flying. Hope you can join me some time, especially after I have got my licence. It is only eight and a bit years away. Meanwhile, I leave you with this picture which will show you how I felt after the flight.

My orange kurta goes to Hurley on this fine day

These days I go for a walk everyday, and I wear all these lovely kurtas that Masi has sent me so today I decided to take my orange kurta over to Hurley.

Hurley is about 4 miles away and is very pretty. Look at this old house.

Then we walked to the other side of the river and up to the lock.

There I saw a boat waiting to get across the lock. Look at them go down in the lock.

When I came back home, I harvested some cress that I had grown and made some sandwiches. Sorry no pictures this time but I was very hungry and so forgot to take a photo. After that, mummy said I could play in the garden so here I am enjoying myself in the garden.

By the way, for the first time, thanks to me, my parents have somewhere proper to sit in the garden. The other day, we went to the shops and I bought this lovely bench, which we now use to sit on.

Oh, by the way, I also chose the cushion which mummy likes very much but she always tells me to bring it in when it rains. Do you like it?

So I have had a very busy day blogging and playing. What have you been up to?
