In my working life I was on call 168 hrs per week for a long time and 70 or 80 hour weeks were not uncommon in the early days before we had a major refurbishment of the distillery as there were constant breakdowns due to machinery well past it's usable age.
I find it difficult still to sit and just do nothing so today I decided to wash the kitchen floor using a mop and bucket. Job went well and when finished I tipped to contents of the bucket into the loo.
Unfortunately there was coarse grit in the bucket which will not flush away under normal flushing and lies looking unsightly in the bottom of the pan. So I now I have to get a bucket of clean water in a clean bucket and tip it in hoping it will flush the grit past the U bend. Otherwise it is time for the long gloves if I can find them and try to scoop it out.

i was right. That touring car race was a real hammer and tongs affair. Unfortunately, my man got spat into the scenery on the first lap. Bugger.

Anyway, back to the football...

I didn’t think I’d get a in today, but the weather picked up this afternoon and I nipped out for 9 miles In the lanes. It was lovely, there was a bunny running alongside me for part of it. Thanks to @tyred ‘s earlier post on this thread I have added emergency All Sorts to my pannier, along with an emergency clip should I fail to eat them all. Although they are the Lidl version.

Not all that far from me but I’ve only been a couple times many years ago. Karts one time and I can’t remember what else.

I went to a couple of the BTCC meetings there in the early '90s. It's a long drive up from here.

So much for having a day at home. Once I'd done the ironing and watched the first BTCC & Mini races, I got a bit restless so grabbed the pocket radio and a pair of earphones and went out for a couple of hours wandering around the local lanes & footpaths while listening to the Hungarian Grand Prix. I'll now have to watch it as it sounded quite interesting.

Now watching the F1 highlights, and then there will be the second Formula E race from London for dessert.
