Good news… I found a flexible work arrangement that fits around his roster!

This past few months have been a bit of a whirlwind for me… Some good stuff, some bad… I am not sure where to begin, but I guess starting from where I was at on my last post maybe better than hitting you with all the heavy stuff first.  I was job hunting when I last […]

A touch of the green-eyed trip monster

Bf has just got back from a 5 day long-haul trip that I had hoped I would be going on with him too.  Unfortunately, for logistical reasons, it was not possible.  It was a hard goodbye to say through green eyes and I have to be honest I did give him a bit of a […]

(s)-crewing have stolen my bloody birthday-and I’ll cry if I want to!

Thanks a bloody heap crewing-you know who you are! It’s my birthday coming up. Crewing know that Bf booked it off for a reason, because he’s had it booked off in a special block for aaaaaages. They rang him and offered him over-time that we just couldn’t refuse financially. Believe me, I wanted to ask Bf to tell […]

I blame Headaches and PC World for my poor blogging!

Sorry I’ve been lame. I am a baaaaaaad blogger at the moment. The truth of the matter is that my laptop is broken and PC world where I bought it are being bloody terrible! Their after sales care is horrendous. Their internal communications is dire and basically nobody will get back to me about where […]

I love being pampered, and Skype is the icing on the cake.

I’m still in France, I feel like I’m going to need to be crane lifted out of my muum’s house after her gourmet culinary treats, and I don’t even care! I feel SO relaxed. Bf is way accross the other side of the globe. Neither of us is in our home country, but I’m only paying […]

Whilst the pilot’s away, his better half had a great day!

Bf is away for a week long trip in the tropics. The weather has not been great where he is, and he has been bored stiff. I in the mean time have had a fab time! On Friday, my manager asked me to attend a meeting today. It had been planned some time, but I had said I wold not be able to attend owing to my lack of child care for Baby (with Bf being away). He apparently forgot I had said this, and had planned for me to present a talk on corporate blogging.

Come Home, I miss you…

Well, I was just watching music on the the television, and Home started to play, by Westlife…  I had never seen the video before and I’m not too ashamed to say that it made me cry like a baby!  I cannot remember the last time I missed Bf  THIS much!  Here is the video. The video sections that […]

Breaking the airline pilot stereotype, dispelling the myth.

Well, Bf has left today. He was supposed to leave yesterday, to stay at a hotel elsewhere in the UK (far away); so that he could fly today from there.  Thankfully, they transferred him to a flight going to the same destination from his base airport instead.  I’m really going to miss him more than usual […]

Trip Culture

Well, we had a fantastic time together. I didn’t manage to get an upgrade on the way out, because the flight was too busy. I actually bagged the last seat, which was pretty lucky. The plane was delayed for aaaaaaages, so long in fact, that Bf and the rest of the flight deck went into […]

Pilots as step parents?

  I just wanted to add this post, because I get days where I feel like I’ve reached my wits end with my family.  I think most of us would agree, that pilots tend to be more ‘self focussed’ than other people (they have to be to succeed); not all the time-but definitely on occasions (in our house at least), […]
