An Ordinary Day?

The sky is full of Cus that are not overdeveloping there are light winds. I think it is still as hot as before but we are getting used to it. The dew point is still 19 so it is still sauna like here.
The guys are reporting 4kts but I haven't heard a cloudbase yet.

I forgot to mention that yesterday Pete spent most of his first tow in heavy rain. This morning at briefing they apologised for outlanding so many pilots and subjected the task setter to a public flogging. This involved a masked man, who looked a lot like a KKK member in a red hood walking in with a drummer and beating away behind him. The torture table was unveiled and he was held down and beaten.

The Poms just announced in their coded way that "it is soggy in the Nether region".
CX had a flat on the grid they pulled him off and changed the tube and launched him at the back of the grid. It looked like a Formula 1 operation, very slick
