4 PM;
At 7.30 AM George drove to Albury to pick up Thomas, crew from Petra from the Czech team, whose English will surely improve ,when he is here a little bit longer.
One of those hectic day’s, on which nothing seems normal. Running around like mad and not really achieving something!!!
Problem after problem!!!!
The Range Rover which was looked after in the garage so it would be good for the WWGC, with 4 brand new tires , refused to drive!!!!!
It was free in the package but still…..
Poor young Thomas and George had to deal with it…. they did!
Problems solved NOW!!! Other car rented.
Diana flew the glider , the LS 1f, for a last check and, was happily flying around with 5 m. lift, but had to come down as Thomas was waiting.
They put JO in the trailer,… but now ….only ready to leave tomorrow morning…AND for Thomas from Benalla, as that ‘s where they found a car with a tow-hook, for the Czech team. So off again for George, now to Benalla, to bring Thomas and the trailer.
He found him a sleeping spot there as well.
Cost G and D a full day to help him out,…no worries…can’t let a young guy be alone with problems he not created. Just all very unfortunate.
Finally time to pack our own things after 7 PM.
For Thomas,….. first a trip to Sydney tomorrow…with the trailer…[.we warned him]….to pick up Petra, and her family arriving there tonight and then to Lake Keepit.
GLIDING COMPS……
More and more complicated.
A hot day and indeed some nice soaring. Still problems with smoke as I heard from one of the pilots.
Worn out, but ready for an early start at 6!!!From then the Diary will be changed in the “The Lake Keepit WWGC news 1.” !!!
Christmas was a happy time with too much, but delicious food. Had drinks at 11 , but my friends wanted me to stay for Christmas lunch. Great chefs so perfect lunch.
At 5 it was drinks again, but when I was there they expected me to join the Christmas-dinner table as well.
Another top chef, so more turkey, great vegies and another excellent Christmas pudding.
I was really spoiled.
Will not forget Christmas 2019 quickly.
Early start as said, everybody here worn out, so let’s meet again in Keepit!!!!
Cheers for now
