Learning to Fly - Pink Floyd (Part I)

 Into the distance, a ribbon of black
Stretched to the point of no turning back
A flight of fancy on a windswept field
Standing alone my senses reeled
A fatal attraction is holding me fast,
How can I escape this irresistible grasp?
Having lost the will to live 4 times today, once each for the number of defective lap-tops, rather than no Post at all today will have to be a compromise (or some may call it cop-out). A beautiful day for both flying and harvesting we bring a series of images of both activities. My opinion of
THE RED ARROWS
Royal Air Force Ariel Acrobatic Team
 is 'you can never get enough'


All safely back on earth,
this post is dedicated to the memory of
Flight Lieutenant JON EGGING R.A.F.
 Ice is forming on the tips of my wings
Unheeded warnings, I thought, I thought of everything
No navigator to find my way home
Unladen, empty and turned to stone
A soul in tension -- that's learning to fly
Condition grounded but determined to try
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I

 Learning to Fly
If you want to get him, or her, a present try the DVD Pulse, 
Pink Floyd.
Meanwhile,back in the fields someone has to continue the work.
 Neighbouring farmer Roger was round with his
 COMBINED HARVESTER
 to harvest the last 30 acres of

 BARLEY.
HUGH seems delighted with the 'quality' of the crop
 but tells me 'yeild' is a little down on last year!
 Task half completed
with the cracks showing just how dry the land is at this time.
Not to worry, it is almost guaranteed this field will be flooded
in 4 months time?
GREAT to see Pakistan back in the Top Ten after a long absence!
