World Endurance Championship (Le Mans Type cars) at Silverstone, Easter time(ish) a few years ago - the Saturday morning practice was cancelled due to snow - didn't stop me doing a lap of the circuit via the public road on my bike 'though.

Snetterton in June... 24 hour 2CV race, muggins covering the meeting for Autosport...

3 am, close to freezing, lashing with rain, and Alan Hyde, bless him, drags me off the gantry where I'm trying to take photos but can't stop shivering, and into the commentary box to share the circuit's only working heater. By dawn, the circuit had effectively sunk without trace...

And yes, I was wearing a skiiing jacket and waterproofs...

I've been on the move

Now they can't give a location, other than I'm currently on this planet.

Back in Northern Ireland, it seems!

As a working from home day, I actually managed to get a lot done...

Two lots of washing done & line dried
Bedding changed
All rooms vacuumed
Kitchen floor steam mopped (coffee made before starting this time)
New 1 year bond savings account set up & money paid in
Six mile walk
Kitchen floor steam mopped again due to not noticing something on the sole of my shoe when I got back from the walk.
Gammon steak, new potatoes & peas consumed.

Phone calls from work - none.

I have lost my main bike light.

Was using it as a torch, put it somewhere safe, and now can I find it? can I heck...

To console myself, I have been trying my hand at some life drawing.

Anyways, time for bed.

Buy a brand new one. Once they have your money/you've opened the packaging, the one you bought it to replace will turn up.

Guaranteed to work.

Good morning people, trip down our local community library this morning and a curtain rail to put up this afternoon.

Good morning. I need to figure out how the local buses work today so I can get to the railway station and catch a train back to Stuttgart tomorrow.

🎵Good Morning, Good Morning, it’s nice to wake up late, good morning, good morning to you. 🎵
Except it’s early. Why can’t I lie in ‘till 10am any more?

I have tea, and Winnie by my side.

The President is due to make an announcement this evening , no bets on what it will be about

I have a ride on mower

Yes I can see how that would speed things up . Trimming the grass with scissors whilst being propelled along on a mower !

I really should start working & stop reading on here

 

[Levo-Lon]

I wonder if it was the same day/year I did it? Was it a Ron Haslam thing?

No it was a track day organisation..
Ron wasn't there that day.

He's got more sense

Morning all. There's a very agitated robin in a tree outside whose warning call sounds like a furiously clipping hairdresser.
