Plane

Friends of mine....the second wooden plane of ours with name KM2 is finally finished!! :) It took us almost a year, with 6 months brake coz' of lack of time, but now is our beauty finally ready to fly! :)) I can't tell you how proud I am that we finally put the plane together! It was not an easy job to start from scratch, we draw our own plans, I designed the tail and wing with Miha's help and we also had a number of smaller and bigger problems!
Now the only thing that is left is to put him into the air and we're going to do it, probably at the end of this week - as soon as the weather gets a bit nicer, without any showers or strong wind!!!! I am not sure if I can add short films on the blog, but I will for sure add some photos from the first flight!

I wanted to update my blog over the weekend already, but I had huge problems with it...I couldn't upload the pictures and couldn't update my blog or add a comment to my friends blog :(
But happy me, I have about half an hour of time at work, so I can do that here! :)

Saturday was busy day. I had a little problem sleeping, so I woke up early and than in the morning I plant the flowers and cleaned my bath-room and kitchen. Time after lunch I spent in front of TV watching gimnastic and afterwards went to Miha's place. 1st we went to shopping mall where I bought ink for my printer and than we went to his place from where we walked to Park Tivoli where was the basketball match. Came home at 11pm and went streight to bed.

Yesterday was a bit more quiet. We had Mayor elections, so I went to vote. In the morning I wrote few letters and helped my mum with lunch. In the afternoon I iron all the clothes while waiting Miha to come. We went for a walk and after walk we watched TV - first basketball and than F1.
The day was lovely, very relaxing. I went to bed around 11pm!

Today, sadly I'm back at work. I don't feel like working today at all and can't wait to go home...well, 7 more hours to stay here!
I have some things to do today at work which I don't like to do + I still have to nag to get my contract...I still have NO working contract and more and more I am asking for it, nobody really cares about it!!! I have now decided to work this week and if they won't work out by the end of the week, I will stop working for as long as it takes for me to get the contract! It's so sad that my stupid boss cares much more for Rally than for my contract!! :((
I am however looking for new work all the time - coz' of payment is low here, lots of work (not only I do my things, but LOTS of things that I'm not supposed to do and it's others work) and VERY unfair attitude from co-workers and my boss! I deserve much better than this!

Anyway, I hope to spend more relaxing afternoon, though won't see Miha today :(
And tomorrow we'll get shoot for Hepatitis A for our trip to Mexico :) which is coming slowly!!! Hurray!

Lads, I wish you to have nice Monday, nice start into new week!!!
Hugs

Well, about the flight...we worry as well. ALL is good, except the first wheel is a bit unsable :s
Will see...however, will let everybody know how it went and if I won't be able to post the film on blog, will send it via mail :)
Otherwise the day at work SUCKS!! 4 more hours to survive!
Hope at least you are well....
Take care!

2 and half hours to go and I have finally set my mind to start with annoying work I have to do. My co-worker went to supermarket and before I really start, I checked again both blogs :)
I can't wait to go home and hope I will get a letter or two...miss getting letters and I guess I'll need to wait for few more days to get some, since I sent most of them yesterday or will today.

A big happy hello!! Hope evening is smarter than the day LOL and you feel better...
I am really amazed by the marvellous work with the plane... Great! Hope it works perfectly and flies away, finding way back to you LOL
I am a bit dizzy , too, woke up again 3a.m :-/ And ´stayed awake ever since :-)
About letters, I am starting to worry about mine that hasn´t still arrived :-(( I certainly hope that it does VERY soon...
How good that you got some ink for the printer, it is always needed... :-)
Try to leave your boss in the building where you work and let it be the only place he comes into your mind LOL Hope everything works out at work ...

Hey Monika,
well, today I haven't gotten your letter either :( and now I worry as well + I couldn't see your e-card you sent :(
I will let you know as soon as the letter arrives...
Every day for past few days I come home in hope to have a letter from you on my desk, but nothing :(
Thank you for compliments about our plane...lots of work was put into it and we're happy it came out that good :) We're proud!
We have now designed 3 planes already and the next one we'll do will be one from World War 1 called Lublin...this time we won't make the plan ourselves, but saw one on the web and will do after it :)
I guess it's going to be a bit easier since we won't need to draw and make calculations and will be a bit faster as well. But as soon as we're going to start that, I'll let you know :)
Am going now to take bubble bath and body pilling and than will relax in front of TV watching Friends. Wish you nice evening and nice days to come.
Hugs :)

Hello Slovenia!!!!

The plane looks fantastic, I hope that you guys wont have any problems to make it fly.

The weather down here is getting colder, this weekend was really cold...finally after the summer we have cold air :D.

My weekend was really good. Friday night there was an event at my former University called ExpoTec, it's a fair organized by the students. It is a cultural and gastronimical event. Since ITESM has students from all around Mexico, Central & South America and some other countries.
Each association build a stand where they show the most typical things of their country or state.
They also have a stand where they sell typical meals.
Every night there is a concert with different kind of music... So me and Adriana went on Friday because her brother played the base on one of the groups.
On Saturday we went to a near city (Saltillo) to visit one of my uncles.

And yesterday I went to the movies... we saw a spanish movie called Pan's Labyrinth if you have the chance to watch it do it.

HOLA MEXICO!!!!!!
I am REALLY ENJOYING this blog and getting so many comments :D
It sounds like you had really nice weekend :) It was nothing wrong with mine either :)
Today the day started poorly, coz' all our computers broke down... :(
and I had little (bad) luck with bus in the morning - my mum told me that there is huge traffic jam, so I went earlier than usually, but there was no traffic jam in direction where I was going, so was already at 7.30am at work!!! I start at 8am...and I was thinking to update my blog in the morning, but than nothing was working...the guy fixed it at 11am, but after than I had no time :( I had very tiring day today - 30 more minutes and I'm free to go :)
I'm going to hospital at 6pm, coz' will get shoot for Hepatitis A for Mexico trip...
But more about my day on blog either today, though I guess will be too tired to write in the evening or tomorrow :)
Have a nice day amigo :)
Besos, Katie
