Not IMC in Randburg at present, but quite murky...

Spotted this on SAWeather... :shock:

Don't look good for the weekend!

National Warning - Issued on Friday, 3 February 2006 at 06.00

Isolated heavy falls are possible over the eastern half of the Eastern Cape, with a chance of severe thunderstorm development over the north-eastern interior.
Isolated heavy falls are also likely over Lesotho and western KWaZulu-Natal. Dangerously high levels of discomfort are expected over eastern Swaziland and the north-eastrern parts of KwaZulu-Natal.

Advisory
Tropical cyclone "Boloetse" in the Mozambique Channel just east of Beira will cause heavy rain and gale force winds in the channel and these conditions might spread to the Mozambique coast in places south of Beira. The cyclone is expected to gradually move towards madagascar from tonight. This storm is not expected to have an effect on the KwaZulu-Natal coastal areas, except for an increase in wave heights over the weekend.

Demon it was SOOOOOOO good to have Vulture back in the sky- I did almost no power flying while she was grounded- It was Fly Babies 2 nd flight - A bit longer than the 1st that was just a circut- On Sunday we took him on a breakfast run to Parys - He was good as gold - He just goes to sleep in the back- On Friday while Vulture was doing a long check over here plane (It hadnt flown for almost 5 months) the flying club guys had a good :lol: watching me change the nappies while the wife fitted her prop .

We will look for you guys next Fly day and you can meet Fly Baby- He has already got his own logbook :lol: :lol:
Flying flying flying-- and a bit of gliding
