Too Windy to Fly

Went out and bought a new wing for our little plane (along with a roll of sticky tape to mend the old one). Then we set off again to fly it. We go up to Beverly Westwood, which is a nice area of open ground. The perfect area was once again full of smug looking people flying large and expensive machines very well indeed. Actually, I'm being a bit unfair since they probably aren't smug at all - we never went close enough to find out. Instead we sought out our little corner where we broke the plane last time. Unfortunately it turned out to be just too windy to fly. Note, if there are lots of kites up in the air this indicates a reasonable breeze is blowing.... We are still learning to fly our little craft and we reasoned that discretion is the better part of valour, and so we came home with everything still intact.

Next I had another go at Midtown Madness on the XBOX. I've found quite a neat trick. On the levels where you race against opponents, pick the bus as your vehicle. Then all your opponents drive busses as well - but yours is slightly faster. You get ample warning of corners and it is dead easy to win.... And six busses all fighting through a little street in Paris is very funny to watch...
