Sometimes the body says 'STOP - enough is enough!' Today was that day :(
The last few weeks have been very busy and at times stressful. I just counted up, within the last 3 weeks I have been in/passed through 7 countries, driven many thousands of km's and flown half-way round the world ... its all been fun but today my body demanded some time-out.
I hadn't realised how dehydrated I had become until the mother-of-all-headaches started at dinner last night. Today, all of it, was spent in bed in the dark :(
But now I am rested, rehydrated and bouncing back :)
Today was a good day for GIN pilots. The top 4 in the league here were flying Boom 8's. My baby-sitters ;-), test pilots, Seyong and Taro were 1st and 2nd.
Seyong ( middle) 1st, Taro ( left) 2nd
While in Germany, smiley Jamie Messenger won the German Champs 1st round on his Boom 8.
Last night after the closing ceremony of the Korean League we stopped for dinner in MunGyeong to wait out the traffic jams on the highway before we left and moved back to Yongin near Seoul.
Its the first time I have ever eaten acorns!! A feast of acorn pancakes and acorn jelly stew was set in front of us and i have to say its great! At home acorns are fed to pigs to make the best 'jamon bellota' - I certainly ate like a pig ;-)
Tomorrow is Buddah's birthday so a national holiday here which means the only place we can get any work done is at planet GIN.
I'm now living in the GIN factory and ready to get on with more preparations for the World Cup starting at the weekend...
