Finally we got
some good weather. It seems like cold winter jumped in to the summer. I went
flying th*ree times. I almost got used to my new harness. But I will have
to make some more adjustments.
At least I made
few good launches and landings. It is easy to land at huge landing in Vipava valley.
Last week when I
was driving home from Graz my car broke down 20km in front of my home. I had had it
at mechanics, but it has broken anyway. I paid 80eur to get it back home
and to realize that he will not drive me anymore- at least not with this engine.
Goodbye KangurujĨek
(the name of my car) you were the best car, bedroom, dining room, kitchen,
transporter of all my sport gear … My friends and I had a lot of fun in this
car.
Another day was a
great flying day. I was sitting at home, sad, thinking about flying. Then my
friend Josa Medved called. He saved my day. Came to pick me up and we went
flying together. His surname Medved means bear in Slovenian language. So on Wednesday
Bear and hedgehog were flying at Kovk. We launched early and instead of gaining
height at the mountain we both got a thermal over the Vipava valley. That was little strange, but we had fun anyway. Later we
were really lucky with hitchhiking and a nice boy drove us up the
mountain to get Josa s car.
Josa is very
interesting person. He already wrote some books, he is practicing yoga and is
smart person to hang around. In the winter he escapes to Lanzarote and in the
spring he comes back to Slovenia. Being over 70 years old he is extremely fit
and a great hang gliding buddy. After a nice day we finished in local bar where
he ate 5cups of homemade ice cream with cream and I managed 3.
This weekend my
boyfriend came to my place. He brought everything for flying - except roof racks. He has his glider here already.We lost a flying day, but we went hiking,
biking and kayaking, we had a great time with my family and enjoyed to watch a new
born goose cups at our little farm.
I hope I will
manage to get a new car soon.
h* - typo that I made. I forgot H so it was tree times. :) A fb friend sent me a notice about it. I decided to leave it marked with red.
