I see the winter (SAD) lack of flying is getting to you. Do you have the
correct tables ;-)

Don't worry summer and thermals are only weeks away (or months in my
case in the north of the UK)


Come to (normally) sunny Queensland (in Australia for the Geographically
Challenged) where we fly all year round. I have had 10kts to 10,000 in
July (midwinter here in the southern hemisphere) out on the Darling
Downs (a couple of hours drive from Brisbane).

Mind you, we are currently experiencing 'not quite a cyclone' (aka
hurricane in the northern hemisphere) which has been lashing the coast
but unfortunately dropping most of its rain out to sea and not on the
country side, where it is much needed by the farmers and the reservoirs!

It should clear today - I am spending a week from tomorrow cross country
instructing for a load of visitors at our club.
