Peter Pan Syndrome

Monday, March 31st, 2008

 
I haven’t written much on a personal level recently, purely because life has been pretty uneventful. Bf hasn’t been working much this month. He’s had just the one long-haul trip last weekend, and today he is doing a flight to the Canary Islands and back.
It’s been REALLY great having him home and our relationship feels revived and […]

Keeping it fresh!

Tuesday, March 18th, 2008

I was reading a discussion thread in a pilot wife forum today about women’s tips to restore a stale relationship. It’s not a problem that Bf and I have luckily, but I’m all for hearing advice from women who have made successful marriages for many years. Some of these women have been happily married for […]

He still gives me butterflies!

Sunday, March 16th, 2008

I am on cloud nine tonight… No particular reason at all; I’m just feeling the love! It’s SO NICE to be able to look at my man over four years and a baby into our relationship and still get butterflies in my tummy! (I used to always grow bored of men in my old relationships […]

Cant live with him, can’t live without him-Living with a Pilot is a love/hate relationship!

Friday, March 14th, 2008

In February, Bf’s roster was all long-haul. It was so frustrating to barely see him. When he’d get home, he’d stroll in looking ever yummier-with his topped up tan and relaxed ‘I’ve been on holiday’ attitude (apart from one time where he managed to burn his forehead, and it peeled (yuk!) We had 2 days […]

Thursday, March 13th, 2008

Sorry, the post was too long to fit!
…I for one am impressed with the research. For anyone who is interested, a Further Report informs us that the Biofuel used by Richard Branson’s 747 was derived from from a mixture of Brazilian babassu nuts and coconuts. Virgin have said that the babassu tree, native to Brazil, […]

Biofuel, is it a real solution to the airline fuel problem?

Thursday, March 13th, 2008

There has been a lot of media coverage about Carbon Footprint and the fuel shortage that will ground airlines if an alternative that soesn’t rely on crude oil (fossil fuel) isn’t found. I have also written about it myself. One of my online blog friends has recently commented on it in her blog:

So much for the ‘heightened security’ at the UK’s flagship London Heathrow Airport!

Thursday, March 13th, 2008

 
It’s great isn’t it. Bf cannot even take a bottle of water onto the plane in uniform; incase he wasn’t to do something awful with it (because a pilot REALLY needs to carry a bottle of water onto a plane if he wants to wreak havoc right)!?
Yet some fool wearing not one, but TWO rucksacks managed to […]
