Out of interest, we don't wear chutes when doing aerobatics down under – shoud I be concerned??? :) :) #
03:20 local & the weather looks good for a flight – off to the shed to prep the gear then head to the hotel & meet our pax for today :) #

Was at Yarra Bend, then to the MCG – winds going variable down low so now he's going high & trying for Kevin Bartlett :) #
Wound up landing at vacant lot beside City Reserve in Richmond – easy access, quick packup – yay! People in the gym enjoyed the view :) #

Another day of 40C – 08:00 & it's already 32C (lowest was 28C overnight) – gusty, cool SW winds expected after 15:00 with some rain #
Just returned my out of date ASIC to CASA – thought I'd returned it ages ago – oh well :) #
Winds shifted to gusty souwesterlies & temps dropped over 12C in an hour – now around 21C and falling – prediction is 17C & showers :) #

Watching Aliens – still reckon this movie is one of the best :) #
Weather tomorrow is not conducive to safe ballooning over Melbourne – sleep in time for me :) #

I was up at 0240 to check weather – Nykolai & his mates were still up playing XBox/PS3 – joys of a 12 year old's birthday party & sleep over #
Now at the hotel to meet our pax & hoping the low cloud doesn't roll in as threatened #
On the field near the MCG watching a piball (& a satellite in a polar orbit :) http://myloc.me/2KT7j #
Wow – another satellite – also looks to be in a polar orbit but going the other direction #
Took off from Fawkner Park, now at Royal Park waiting to see if they can hit the target :) http://myloc.me/2KYFP #

So, what do you folks think of Hot Cross Buns being on prominent display at super markets already? I'm still stunned to see them already :( #
Slight chance we can fly tomorrow despite heat & high winds over night (may drop down around dawn) – checking again after 03:00AEDT (16:00Z) #
No flight – too warm aloft leading to unstable conditions – not good for ballooning – back to bed then #

At the hammerthrow paddock watching a piball – where do we go today? :) http://myloc.me/2HlTt #
Flight planned Yarra Bend to Royal Park but after take off, the winds were not as expected so they wound up going to Albert Park – all good #
