About Me

My photo
We are now in Oz after two amazing years of traveling Europe in our home built plane. We met many fantastic people who we are proud to call friends and have gained a much better understanding of the similarities and differences between the cultures of the different European states as well as the history and geography that have lead to these differences. We enjoy meeting people with similar interests to ourselves and learning more about other cultures. Please let us know if you're going to be in Queensland and would like to catch up for a meal and a chat.

Spiders???

One morning a few weeks back I got up to find little pieces of spider silk over everything, which really freaked me out.  So I checked inside the sleeves, legs and pockets of my overalls before putting them on, shuddered a little while walking through the kitchen area and tried to stay zen about it.  These days I'm really not zen, because I've realised that they're actually short pieces of glass fibre, that are presumably floating around the entire warehouse all the time & generally getting in everything.  Yuck.

Anyway today we did some good work after a slow start.  I started on the wings, Julian did a large amount of putting the rudder hinges on, and tomorrow he and Gary are going to somehow tune the engine before putting it on the plane.  All good.  I had fun screwing little brass fittings into little steel fittings and off again.  The usual.
