Malaysian Grand Prix 2013: Race
Once again, another fairly early start to the day for the Malaysian Grand Prix. The race begins at 8am. Currently, Sky F1 are showing replays of people making their way to the grid – the track is half dry and half wet, however the wet part appears so wet that the intermediates can’t cope well. […]

Day 82: Snowy Saturday
A fairly uneventful day. The snow that fell overnight made us stay inside all day. I did a bit of work, Mrs Pitts did a bit of work. That was about it. We did our good deed for the day by helping to push start a neighbour’s car. She works for the NHS and so […]

Malaysian Grand Prix 2013: Qualifying
Another relatively early Saturday morning for qualifying – it begins at 8 am here. Like yesterday, it is still snowing. Malaysia is well-known for its sporadic showers and some may well be due during the sessions. However, the heat there means that it takes a lot of rain to fall before it isn’t simply burnt […]

Day 81: More Snow
March isn’t often the victim of a snow day. The last one was a whole 60 days ago and, to be honest, that was the last I expected of poor weather. However, it has continued, and today saw a silly amount of snow drop from the sky. There was a brief halt to it around […]

Day 80: More F1 Stuff… Malaysia This Time
I’m still amazed I’ve made it this far into this project. I have never kept something up for so long before. Today was reasonable. Work was its usual thing, with the afternoon for PPA time during which I completed many smaller jobs that had been niggling away at me for the school’s website. There is one more […]

Australian Grand Prix 2013: Race
Up bright and early, 4 hours after going to bed, to watch this race. Settled nicely downstairs with Kit and a cup of coffee. I will certainly be taking a nap after this one even though it’ll be roughly 8am by the time the race is over. Nico Hulkenberg had a major fuel system problem on his […]

Australian Grand Prix 2013: Qualifying
Up bright and early to blog about the events at Albert Park. I’ve mentioned before about how excited I am about this! Saturday, 16th March 2013 5:50am. I’m downstairs, ready with a mug of coffee and an excited cat – I think Kit is more excited about being up early than I am. Qualifying is delayed for […]

Day 74: Less Than 7 Hours To Go
Tonight has been filled, once again, with maths assessments. Year 3 was tonight’s focus. Over half way there now. Work was difficult today – lots of hard work. Once again, nothing noteworthy or earth shattering happened though. There are less than 7 hours to go now until the first meaningful action of the F1 season begins in […]

Day 73: Not Long To Go Now
After almost recovering from the disappointment of not becoming Pope, I was told this morning that I couldn’t take my PPA time this afternoon due to much illness in school. I – for the first time in a long time – feel good at the moment. So I’m owed an afternoon. This was particularly difficult, […]
