Out here in the desert, there are no grassy fields close by, so on Moms day, I take the lovly Mrs for a long drive to find a grassy field then after, before we leave, I fly a 1/2a or a Sloper, even named one of my slopers's "Nature Nookie"


I hope all here have a great day and a chance to fly

Over here we have Mothers Day now, that replaced Mothering Sunday. That means I am home in London cooking for myself while my wife looks after my granddaughter 300 miles away in Warrington.

Georgina has to attend school so she cannot come here to stay. Meanwhile my son is flying off "who knows where" with his new girlfriend. I cannot blame him, he became a widower about eighteen month ago. Trouble is I am on a strict diet and cannot stand my cooking so Bah Humbug again.

I knew we could count on you to strike the proper tone regarding male/female relationships. The need to understand where our priorities lie and who(m?) our heroes really are.

Attached is a JPEG copy of the expensive, professionally framed 2005 photo of me and Eric Clutton that I pressented to my wife as a memento of my trip to Toledo that year.

But did she exclaim with tears of joy in her eyes, "thank you, thank you, oh joy of my life!"? Heck no! She wouldn't even let me hang it over the toilet in the laundry room. Just goes to show ya.

(Sorry, I'd share more of the tribulations of my love life with youse-all, but I have to go cook dinner now.)

Good luck with your purchase Toad.

Just as a point of interest, my model and kit box room is labelled "Toad Hall" because both of us, Wife and I recognise that the Toad character from "Wind in the Willows" could very well be ME.

I normally introduce my wife as "My First Wife!" just to keep her in line. She normally responds, "Yes and he's my last husband".

1. My wife refers to my workshop/laboratory as, "the play room"! Can you believe it? I get no respect.

2. I introduce my wife as the "joy of my life", or "my inspiration", or "the best thing that ever happened to me". But in the cobwebbed, back corners of my mind she will always be, "She Who Must Be Obeyed (SWMBO)". Shhhh, let's keep this just between youse-all and me, OK?

Todays News

Walking into the bar, Harvey said to the bartender, "Pour me a stiff one, Eddie. I just had another fight with the little woman."

"Oh yeah," said Eddie. "And how did this one end?"

"When it was over," Harvey replied, "she came to me on her hands and knees."

"Really? Now that's a switch! What did she say?"

She said, "Come out from under that bed, you gutless weasel!"



I ususally refer to my wife as " 'er indoors" (from Brit TV show "Minder" in fact as we all know she is properly called "She who must be obeyed".

My wife wrote the following and sent it to Aeromodeller magazine (in 1975) It was ublished later in 1984 and she had to ask for the cash for the article (she didn't forget)

My husband is addicted to aeroplanes – well, more obsessed with them really. As a result I too have become an expert, though not a very willing one. But I reckon I could write a book on Airfields of South-East England – perhaps “Muddy Fields I Have Known” would be a better title.
