Toast of Oxford Town..

This morning was started earlier than the previous; owing to the early night. Breakfast has been fairly limited for the Headhunter and I due to the lack of equipment at our disposal. We have been reduced to cereal and bread. This dire situation did however result in a display of ingenuity.

The Headhunter, being a man of few years my senior was quick to find an alternative. A lack of grilling and toasting facilities were overcome by dry frying bread to form toast. A few attempts later we were enjoying hot toast. Thinking outside the box and being adaptable to adversity; traits perfect for a pilot..!

We decided that we should venture into Oxford to see the sights; and also hopefully bring back some sober memories of the roads travelled in our drunken stupors on Friday night. We drove over to Oxford and soon found out why there is so much emphasis on the Oxford "Park & Ride". It was nigh on impossible to find a parking space. After much searching we parked a way out of town and walked in.

It was quite a sight to see so many Oxfordians soprting their University of Oxford hoodies; either that or gillets. There was a noticeable feeling of pomposity about the town. That is not to say that the town was anything but impressive; I would not have minded going to university in Oxford; having said that I am forever proud of my University.

The past few days have not been the most ideal in terms of nutrition as we are still finding our feet in our new accomodation. We have not really cooked too many meals here, which has meant that we have eaten alot of fast food and in restaurants. Regrettably, today was no expection..

In preparation for my first actual day at flight school I spent some time reading over aviation blogs, news sites and magazines. I did try to read some of the documentation I had been issued on Friday but this seemed too esoteric for my current state of training.

On blog article which did catch my eye was one about pilots on Strike in America. The title of the article was "Pilots on demos look impressive, but can be plain wrong" by Kieran Daly of Flight Global.

Pilots on demos look impressive

With the actual start of flight school tomorrow, I am growing increasingly more and more antsy. I really cannot wait to start tomorrow..
