A bit random really - when I renovated my house I ran alarm cable and a friend of a friend recommended a pro alarm system (Which he kindly provided at trade) which he said he'd install.

He's no longer in a position to fit it, so I'm becoming an alarm system installer for the weekend. It's a bit more intense than I'd expected - being professional kit it's rather in kit form and feels like more of an electronics project right now, but I'm quite looking forward to it. Apart from fitting the bell box because I hate heights.

Might go out for a drive in The Toy tomorrow. Then on Sunday, The Wife (tm) is taking me away for a 4 day break. I don't know where, but we're flying out of Gatwick.

TFA!

This morning was front and centre for the team photo of a sports team my co is classed as a sponsor for. Flying lesson later.

Tomorrow: Pick up regs from being serviced ahead of next diving trip. Watch above mentioned team in the evening.

Sunday: Maybe time to dig out the lawnmower.

Ooh, another one - I think there's a couple of us here now! What are you learning in and how are you getting on?

I've really struggled to get out much since passing my PPL at the end of last year

PA-28s mostly. I picked a bit of a stupid time of year to start as a lot of lessons have been cancelled recently but I'm really enjoying it so far. Should get the rest of the books this afternoon hopefully.

Nice one - I converted onto a PA28 Warrior II after I passed. Lovely touring aircraft, though I find the visibility in the circuit a challenge compared to the Grob I learnt in. Ridiculously stable aircraft, too.

Enjoy! Best thing I've ever done - first time solo is something else.
