The St Mungo's Ball was fun. I wonder what the theme will be next year?

It's been a pretty nice break from classes. A couple of members of the Distance Flying Club got together today for a few hours, and that went well even though it was pretty cold out. And it's been good spending time with people. I hope everyone else's hols went well too.

I just wrote everyone else about Colin. Because he thinks he shouldn't even read our stuff, and we probably should've said something sooner to make sure he knew it was okay. Does that sound all right to you?

Yes, definitely!

Harry,

Absolutely, he ought to feel free. I told Sally-Anne as much, the other night, what.

Was it you sent the Galleon about books? I say, jolly good show.

How did flying go? Did the advice about straight lines help at all?

Yeah, it totally did. We went down to Dover and flew around there, because that's the new one and we figured it'd be good to get some information on it, and you're right, it was straight as an arrow. We flew east, towards Dover, and after we followed it to the coast, it went way out over the water, so we stopped and flew back the other way to make sure it was in the same heading on the other side, and it was. We didn't run into any weird spots, though.

Mr Pontner specifically mentioned the trouble centring where the 'lines cross' so I'd wager the Dover one must not have any points of intersection nearby, what.

I say, what we really need is to start at one, and simply stick with it as far as ever it can take us.

If I were planting a stone to focus a line, and those lines interconnect to create a straight-edged circle, what, I should think I'd want to put them as close to the edge of the land as possible.

I wonder.... What might happen if one group went to Walsingham and followed it southeast and the other group went to Dover and followed it east?

We'd have to be careful, because it'd be mostly over water, and if stuff gets weird where they cross, it might be dangerous. But I bet we could plot out where it ought to be based on where the angles intersect, so we'd be prepared.

That'd be something to do on Saturday, maybe.

I figured we ought to say something in enough time so people could think about what to bring. And it takes such a long time to read stuff out loud, I thought it'd be good to trade books too.

I definitely want to read that one about the dragon.
