A very good day has been had at Silverstone - mostly sunny, warmish and only one short spell of wetness, plus some good on track action all day. Something like 20,000 steps have been walked! There was also an unexpected air display from a spitfire thanks to a WW2 day somewhere very close.

The start of tomorrow's race has been moved forward by an hour to 11:00 in an attempt to avoid the forecast heavy rain & strong winds later in the day so a slightly earlier hotel breakfast than expected, but still at a civilised time.

Quite possibly... I think it was 28 by the time I escaped 😂

Only five in MK for me on the way to the hotel,

It's been a cool, bright and blustery day here today chez Casa Reynard. We only racked up one fairly insignificant shower.

Slept well, but took me ages to drift off as i wasn't warm enough. So had to give in to a hot water bottle and an extra blanket on the bed. First main task of the day was listening to Arsenal v Forest.

Caught up with some chores, and noticed a small water leak in the utility room. At first I thought it was the self-defrost from the freezer, but no, it's the nearby heating unit for the hot water that's dripping slightly. So spent some time troubleshooting that. I sort of have it solved, but need to find the user manual for it to make sure I've twiddled the right things. It's a leaky connector, so I've shut off what I think is the valve to the water heater (I very rarely use it tbh) and we'll see if that makes a difference.

After luncheon, I went to the community orchard to pick some of the last of the Jolly Miller apples - the gales coming in will put pay to what's left of those, and they are SUCH a lovely apple. Yep, they're a culinary apple, but they make the best apple crumbles ever.

Cheese, pesto & chicken toastie, chips and a tomato salad for supper.

Now enjoying Last Night of the Proms.

Another horrible day here. I went to visit some friends and went to a vintage rally but it was a wash out.

Albeit you might benefit from a sail in one direction and an electric motor in the other!
