    My MTOW dropped substantially as I`ve only been flying solo since socially distancing came into force! seriously though! for my wife Frances and Me life has not changed much at all. I`m holding steady at 70kg and believe it or not, I`ve been around that weight most of my adult life... I`m 72 years of age now and I don`t want or need to be any heavier and there`s not much chance of that happening as I get plenty of physical activity just maintaining our property, then there`s the voluntary work I do for a neighbor and our eldest daughter and her Husband so in total I mow around 5 ha of lawn every week and a fair bit of that is with the Victa push mower, I also try to do a minimum of 5 k on my push-bike each day...Life`s good. Franco.

    These days, the only reason I need to fly is that I still want to. Though I`ve been flying since the mid-eighties, I`ve never lost the desire or the passion, if anything, it has grown stronger, in fact, I flew this afternoon. I don`t need to fly far, I did plenty of that in the early days, I just need to be up there and enjoy the magic of it all, an experience I find difficult to put into words. Franco.

    I fly from my own property and have been paying AUF/RAA fees since the mid-eighties! I don`t like the ever-increasing fees any more than anyone else but if I want to fly legally, and I do, I have to pay the fee! as far as I can see, at this time, there is no reason for me to stop flying so I will continue. Franco.

    Some days the humidity is over 90% and the temp is in the high thirties, but compared to what`s happening in so many other parts of the country, home here is paradise! we won`t be out of the Cyclone season until the end of April, though, so anything could happen before then. We havn`t had any serious rain yet but more than enough to keep the grass growing at an alarming rate! the clouds in the photos I posted yesterday, were the remains of the thunder storm that occurred on Tuesday night and went on into yesterday morning, by afternoon, perfect flying weather! a real magic carpet ride! well, for me anyway. Franco.

    I met Robert a few weeks ago at the Mulgrave Landcare AGM! we got chatting, one thing led to another and I told him a bit about recreational aviation and Drifter flying! I offered to take him for a fly and yesterday morning he took up the offer!!! I took this photo for the Mulgrave Land-care group on their last day of tree planting for 2019! Later that afternoon I attended their AGM and met Robert there...Expand the photos for a better image. Franco.
