I could get my first fix of live motorsport for 2023 this weekend as the Classic Sports Car Club are putting on a meeting on the Silverstone Grand Prix circuit on Sunday. Having looked at the BBC's weather forecast, I think I'll forego the hypothermia and watch it on the Youtube live stream.

At least it's not likely to be snowed off - like the opening F3 meeting at Silverstone in 1986

Or the practice at the WEC meeting in 2016 which I was at

Long week work-wise, so up early on Saturday to peruse the UK newspapers before my cycle ride. I feel strangely disconnected on this little island from the larger one 6000 miles away! The local news headlines make for interesting comparisons: 'Singapore's fertility rate hits record low' vs. 'Northern Ireland protocol deal in sight' or 'Planned cut to energy bill support'

A very breezy thirty miles completed on the single speed.

I even overtook another cyclist. A little girl on a pink Barbie bike is still a scalp in my book...

Couldn't agree more

Looks nice outside but phone is telling me that it's minus 1 .
Ought to get up and do some sort of exercise as busy day today.

Morning .
Quite light herewith mixed cloud , some grey bits , some cream bits with blue sky .
I had a Carp night . I don't know if I slept if at all. I couldn't get my head comfy. If I lay in one position my head hurt, a sore patch. If I lay on my sides I was comfy for a few seconds but then my head would burn and it felt like it was resting on sacking. If that wasn't enough I had a tickly cough in my throat which wouldn't go away .
I may have bird flu! I keep walking around in circles with my arms behind my back looking at things and going Coo!

Morning perambulation completed and waiting in my favourite cafe for breakfast.

Cold but dry and very sunny here.

I will be taking the Czech patient for it's retest a little later. I hope nothing breaks en-route to the test centre this time.

Just waiting for Mrs P to take me to Seacroft Hospital,new hearing aids today.

Another one here with the lurgy.Wide awake at 03-25,cough cough cough.Luckily Mrs P said she never heard me.At last the crap is leaving my chest.Only a few more days please.I would love a good sleep.

I sometimes wonder if this cafe ever thought of updating their playlist as it's the same every week. Elton John is still standing, Freddie Mercury is still looking for someone to love and Abba are still looking for a man after midnight.

 

[Illaveago]

I've got the lurgy!
We thought I had just better do the test due to the constant coughing. The test went straight to 2 red lines !
Perhaps that's why I'm feeling Carp!

One for @Reynard, Brands Hatch in the spring.

Meanwhile, it’s springtime at Brands Hatch!

As most residents of this fair isle can attest, Spring is only an indicator of the time of year and bears no relationship to the weather that one might expect. This is the British Superbikes meeting from 6th April 2008.

At 11.15am on that day, Jonathan Palmer (the ex F1 driver), Chief Executive of MotorSport Vision, owners of Brands Hatch, announced that following a review of circuit conditions and weather forecasts, the meeting would be cancelled!

Once has to wonder just how long it took him to review the conditions!

It's my working weekend 😔
