It's weird isn't it?

I bet all those people who live under a flight path are loving the peace ... I used to live right next to a railway line and loved Christmas Day when there were no trains

I just heard a plane go over..........It was only a little single engine one... BUT....

Ooh that's a good point Lal,   I'd forgotten about the little planes..... I suppose they're ok because they don't go as high.

No little plane better come and ruin my plane free zone.

I bet! I love planes and have been know to park up near heathrow on the odd occasion There is a little street of houses nearby that have the most amazing view of the flight path, you can see them landing ....I've always wondered if the people living there thought it was so "amazing".  I can't believe that people live that close!

Let's just say I was glad when I moved away from the railway line

I bet they are all sat out in their gardens this evening, with their G&Ts, actually being able to have a conversation - we used to have to stop talking every three minutes when the trains went past

Keep an eye out these next few hours for volcanic sun sets.  It would have been better yesterday but it clouded over in the evening.  It is when the sky is clear and the sun is setting that we can actually witness the ash cloud high in the atmosphere.

I'm imagining you like the family in Mary Poppins now Rexi...... everyone in their places, clinging to all the breakables

I will be keeping a close eye on it Spider.

We've already been trying to spot any suspicious looking dust on the cars outside. It's slightly hampered by people never washing them though. I told my son to go sniff someones car.... but he refused. Teenagers

I used to love watching the planes fly overhead.........

Damn first I get scared that strikes would affect my to/from flights and now I'm scared $h!tless about this volcanic ash!

Scottish air space opening in half an hour,depends where the flights are going though,not many will be taking off.

I saw a helicopter this afternoon, but then I live not far from Gloucesterhire airport, which is where the scientists who are flying up to test the atmosphere are based.

You have a few weeks yet Charli. I'm sure it will all be fine by then.

"Local" flights,one to the Hebrides from Glasgow,took off.

Dublin, Iceland....I know, sounds a bit incongruous ....and America.
Nothing can go south or east.

I'm glad you are enjoying the clear skies Ducky, but I'm not, 'cos I am stuck in Krakow, when I should have been back home today. With a bit of luck I should be on a flight to Scotland on Sunday, but my hubby is having to wait until Monday. We are actually the lucky ones, some people are having to wait until next Friday for a flight home.

The only time I hear planes is early mornings in the summer from City Airport..so I've not notce a lack of...

But I lived for years next to a railway and nevernoticedthe train noise...my mum did a bit butonly when my husband was a guard and used t go mad on the horn past her house...he was brought up living right next to Clapham Junction and said he never really noticed the train noises either

Cant say iv even noticed the clearing of the air space. I live next to a very narrow main road though and my flat shakes when HVG lorries go past so i can sympathise with anyone living near a airport

Sorry to hear that Yogi   My son was due to fly to New York yesterday as an 18th birthday present, but he changed his mind a few weeks ago and decided to get an iphone instead. I thought he was nuts, but turns out it was a very good decision

Someone i work with was due to fly to Florida yesterday. Obviously this didn't happen and she was back at work today when we suddenly noticed her calander for April had a photo of the volcanoe in Iceland which is currently errupting. Spooky

Spooky!

Oh no Yogi  Hope you all get home soon....

Ooooh spooky Kells


I've just realised this thread combines two of my favourite things ....planes and volcanos. And it only took me 5 hours to notice. ...

Yogi

Kelly, what else does her calendar forecast for the next year?

Good question Charli!

Hope you manage to get on a flight home soon Yogi.

omg Ducky... you are sooo strange!

My SIL has a flight booked for  Sunday but I'm not sure  if it will happen

its true about not noticing sound after a while, i've lived here for 13 years and about 8 years ago they decided to change the bus route from down to pass my house, double decker buses passing all day long, if you asked me what time next bus was i couldn't tell you


 before living here we lived in a house with a train line at the bottom of the garden, we came home from the pub one night *abit tipsy* and there where lights and men on the track, me and my ex couldn't understand what was going on, till we got nearer and realised they where fixing the track

Chazzer only thing i can remember it predicts is snow in december

What, like there wasn't enough /last/ December?

accordin 2 her calander last year we should of by now been taken over by cute posing apes

I knew you would be here to tell me that eventually, what took you so long?

ooh...weird smiley action there.

I have been busy digging!

I can't dig and look up at the sky at the same time.

I have just been out for a drive and ran over a kerb cos I was too busy sneaking a peek at the sky.

but there's NOTHING up there to look at Ducky!

I do the sky staring thing when its Perseids shooting star season....  but to stare at a lack of aeroplanes is a bit weird!

anyway... we still have lots of things flying overhead... lots of your sexy army helicopters....  microlite airplanes & crap like that!
