I do remember being covered in a bubbly swimming costume @Ryhia another home made failure by my mother...she had used shirring elastic on one of her white nylon blouses...to make a swimming costume for me...and don’t even go there...white nylon and water do not go together...

Oh that's so funny but not for you I bet! Maybe that's a subject for a run of posts, (funny) "mortifying moments". Not that I would mention any of mine as they are still mortifying to me. ;)

And @jjraak these are the same two previous helicopters a few moments.

One appears to be going somewhere specific, and is at a much higher altitude.

And here is a pic of it.

Hello @gennepher . Careful, your monitoring of police and RAF aircraft movements may get you an unexpected visit to a building with a blue light outside!
Went to the farm shop and then went crazy! They had my veg box, plus eggs, then I got them to add meat, alcohol (oops) more salad, two avocado. The birds were singing, the young lady had a nice smile, the sun was shining. I suddenly felt refreshed and better about the world for a little while.
Guitar. Listen and set your mind to the glory of Spain, its colour, scale, tempestuous history and the spirit of the people.

The giveaway is the lozenge flight path at Shawbury, it forms a timed circuit that you have to do without visuals. So knowing the wind speed plus wind direction you work out how that will affect your airspeed and fly that pattern as close as possible. That pilot made a nice job of it :)

EDIT

Found the training diagram, same as your flightpath

Some may find this cute others not. I did ask permission from their parents but they were both too dog tired to care. (dadjokes2u.co.uk - always a winner.)

Not that I would know a mysterious woman if I met one ...
Mystery-men are more in my line of sight ... :D :cool::eek:

I buried mine in my dad’s vegetable garden @HarryBeau and @Krystyna23040
along with all the home made knitted wool vests my mother hand knitted me. It was like being covered in a nettle vest...
They didn’t find them until my father dug over the vegetable garden in Autumn... then I got into trouble...

That has bought back so many memories. Horrible itchy home made knitted wool vests. Yuk.
@gennepher and @HarryBeau my mother was horrified when she saw the wool swimming costume malfunction and she never made me wear it again.
The itchy home made knitted wool vests I had to hide. Luckily she never found them.

Very mortifying, so much so still a vivid memory well more than half a century later @Ryhia

Ah, that is very interesting @OldButBold
It did seem pretty good somehow, but I didn't know what I was actually looking at.
It is quite riveting to watch...

How many of us hid/buried/got rid of those itchy wool vests?
I still cannot wear wool next to my skin now....
 
Okay.
Painting for today.

There is a watercolour app called Auryn Ink.
So I was trying that out, but it was very frustrating because it was a whole new skill set to learn...so it got deleted and I went back to the SketchClubApp...

The SketchClubApp has the feeling of painting in acrylics. Which I very much like. It is more satisfying.

I have no idea what you will make of this.

I don't know what I make of it either...it has taken more than a couple of hours.

What I make of it is a fantastic piece of art graciously shared by a talented, patient and determined lady. I have no idea what you will make of that.:angelic:

Personally I think they should bring back liberty bodices, some even had suspenders to keep your knitted stockings up. Very a la mode. Not!

The PE kit at my secondary school was also mortifying - it was a green gym slip which had to be made by a tailoring company it was a shift like dress with an elasticated waist and bloomers and this was the early 60s. Fortunately the uniform was modernized in the second year I was there after the old head mistress retired.

Did she make you wear it even when she found out it stretched - my mother would have done - you didn't get away with anything with her.

Your mother sounds a lot like mine was. Luckily, when she saw what happened when I came out of the water she didn't make me wear it again. She normally wouldn't take any notice of me refusing to wear something.
