Flying

 We were flying today but the plane was delayed due to bad weather at the airport we were going to - strong winds.

After we landed and got of the plane it seemed to us that there was still a strong wind - a side wind but the landing was very smooth.

I am not a frequent flyer but the flights I have been on have been fine. Only a couple of times we had some turbulence but nothing drastic. One of my friends flew one time and the flight was so scary that he seriously considered returning by ship.

Esso blues

We have a lot of small plants in the greenhouse so trying to be ahead of the game we bought a heater for it.

It does not seem worth the money to install an electric cable just for the few days and nights that heating will be needed. Particularly as it will have to be installed by a registered electrician in a protected sleeve etc. 

I thought paraffin was cheap but was it? It seems to be dearer per gallon than petrol or diesel now.
