It seems poetic that this post comes exactly 2 months after the last one. Like everything in my life, this blog has taken a back seat while my training has been taking place. Most of our conversations either start or end with the phrase "after training" and it seems this day has been a long time coming! Well finally it's here! Today is "after training" and so is tomorrow, the next day and every day...

Buttons and bedrooms.
I now have only a week to go in France and S has just left for home. He has finished this part of the training and the relief on his face was obvious. The rest of the course looked...

A poem
Well, why not...!
Tangled
A darkened Labyrinth
Filled with corners,
Each turn reveals less
Of what lies before us
Deeper and darker
We seal our fate
The paths ever changing
With the choices we make
No string to follow
No breadcrumbs to leave
More questions unanswered
With the webs we weave.
We cross again
A junction known
Will we pass it forever
Now the seeds are sown
A...

Curse of a Pilot
Have you ever had that moment where you look around you, and I mean really look, and say to yourself "how on earth did I get here?". I don't mean geographically obviously because the...

5 years
Just a short one today, I am not feeling well at all, I have had a very tiring week and I am hugely homesick. I am also missing S as today is our semi-anniversary. 5 years ago today my best friend became my boyfriend, 4 years and 9 months later he became my husband but he has never stopped being my best friend.
I cannot believe how much we have achieved in 5 years, individually and as a couple. We...

Home sweet home
After the endless and well documented struggles with the Camel, I am pleased to announce that we have the apartment!! We are moved in, our furniture is unpacked and the place already feels a lot like home.
The Landlord finally agreed to take the first payment in cash and the further payments by cheque once the book arrived. Amazingly, the cheque book is still nowhere to be seen and with a bank holiday...

What a difference a week makes..
So one more week has past and I can hardly believe that we have only been here for two in total. It feels like months already! We have achieved so much in such a short time that I am amazed when I look and see how little time we have had. There is a saying here that is "if you achieve one thing today, thats a good day"and we must have been having a few of those at least!
I started work finally, and...

The Three F's
Once again, time has had it's own ideas about how fast to run and I increasingly feel like I am merely along for the ride! What a ride though, some tears and tantrums, some arguments...

It's life Jim..
Since my rather odd departure from my job, I have felt a little lost for what to do. My life for the last 10 months has been defined by various flights backwards and forwards to Sweden...

"That's all folks!"
As I said in a previous post, leaving an airline can be a fairly large non-event and this one was no different. I had my last flight without even realising it was my last! I was due to work this sunday and had booked a flight back to Scandinavia in preparation for it. However, the more I looked at the weekend the more I realised going back was a pointless exercise. Not only would it be with a crew...

The Others
I wrote a little poem and wanted to share it, some of these guys really get on my nerves and no more so than on a long and tiring night flight. I know other pilots will get this and agree but I would like to point out that I am sure there are some exceptions to the rule, I just haven't found any yet!
I hope you like it, leave me a comment if you do!

I'm forever telling people,
