It just looks like a giant uni-boob

So the Bump has gotten a lot bigger and to top it off, literally, my belly-button has inverted itself and the silhouette is highly visible through every piece of clothing I have, even if it's a double layer. People on the street stare. People I meet stare. Colleagues stare. Everyone stares. Why? Why? Why?

In other news, I gave a 15-minute seminar the other day on employment law and received a rather unexpected token of appreciation - a beautifully wrapped parcel. In these times, a token of appreciation extending beyond a handshake and "thank you for coming" (with a quick glance at the Bump) is extremely rare. Being cynical, and because it was so beautifully wrapped, I assumed it was something completely useless, like a large plastic bookmark. Or a paperweight.

So I gave it to The Son, unopened. Happy Birthday, Son.

Five minutes later, there's a shout from the living room. Mom! It's a Water Pen! It's so nice!

"It's a Waterman pen," says The Husband, with a most peculiar expression on his face. "You just gave our son a Waterman pen for his 4th birthday."

I dashed out of the bathroom to see The Son waving a gorgeous blue lacquer and gold pen. Grabbed it from him.

Oh dear, said I. Let me check. I think it's spoilt! I had better take it back to the shop to be repaired. I'll give you something else.

So for the last 2 days, the moment I come home from the office, The Son has sidled up to me with a hopeful smile to ask if he can have his Water Pen back. By today, hopefully, he has forgotten about it. It has been a gorgeous addition to my office stationery and I've already misplaced the pen cap.

Pilots complete flights for their airline, using their simulator, either online (using a network such as Sim - Miles) or offline, and
then file a pilot report. Some of the game titles that are
part of this genre involve the more recent of the Red Baron series and European Air model.
This game by Hexacto is simple, straightforward, and fun. The main purpose of a simulator is to understand
the behavior of the system. The instruments that lag in real life, lag correctly,
gyro drift is modeled correctly, the magnetic compass is subject to aircraft
body forces - all those things that make real world flying a challenge are present.
