Morning all. Tea's up.
I haven't watched F1 for years but this one looked like it had enough ''interest'' to be worth watching. Absolute madness with garish colours. I think that the gains in car safety have resulted in losses in safe driving, particularly as the restarts positions seemed to be worked out by negotiations and offers between stewards and teams when the race was red flagged.

I was left with the impression that Verstappen only has to take Hamilton out in the last race to win the championship by counting back the number of races won this season. That's not racing, it's combat.
ah the 'Schumacher' technique.

Wet and windy.
Been having an adventurous time, or mebbe just confusing.
I have an optician appointment in Oban on Tuesday so planned to travel over on Monday. The only ferry I could get booked on was likely to be cancelled so a fast scramble and got booked on the 1715 on Sunday instead.
15 miles down the road and another text from Calmac. "Number 1 linkspan is not working so as a result" but then they stop and say nothing more. Continue anyway and find that the following boat will be passenger only.
Monday morning the 0645 cannot load in Oban as the tide is too high followed by "we cannot run the 1515 from Craignure as we have no boat available and in any case all boats will probably be cancelled for the rest of the day anyway".
Get an email from Specsavers giving me a different appointment time so phone to check. "We have no idea why you got this email as your appointment time has not changed".
Am I going mad or is the world just getting in a fankle?:wacko:

Well, the Met Office were right. It was cold and wet all day.

You'd think it was December!

The two paracetamol I've taken are starting to kick in. Ah, the joy of "lady issues"

Just got the fire lit. I used the last match in the box.

Shortly, I will pop out to go and furkle in my neighbour's recycling wheelie bin for newspapers. It's the Daily Wail - fine for lighting the fire and wrapping up kitchen waste.
I have them too! MrsC at times drives me to paracetemol or booze ^_^
