It started to rain last night, and rained the whole night and through into this morning. No flying again. The forecast looks as if it might dry up tomorrow afternoon. I did a lesson on how to get and decipher aviation forecasts.
Jim, Al Giles and Ian Barraclough all went home because of the weather, but once they had gone, it started to dry up.
Miro Mikus phoned to ask what I thought the weather would do. I told him I thought it would be better tomorrow afternoon, and OK on Thursday. "Are you sure?" he asked! Of course not. Miro turned up anyway - he must be an optimist!
Managed to update the software in the flarms in the Junior and Grob Twin ll. Can't replace the tail wheel of the Jantar because we don't have the right tube - so the glider is out of action until I can get one with a different valve stem.
At about 1530 this afternoon, there was a small patch of blue sky and the rain had stopped. I checked the runway, but it was still too wet to use. We don't want to bog any more gliders! By about 1900, the grass around the clubhouse had dried, so I took the opportunity to slash in front of my residence so I don't get soaked with long wet grass every time I go outside!
I think it will be flyable tomorrow (or do I mean today?)
