You know the thing I was waiting for yesterday? I’m still waiting for it… annoying. As a result, I haven’t done half as much as I wanted, yet again. Still, a relaxing day is a good thing. We went out for lunch earlier, a quick carvery at the local place. Nice enough. The Canadian Grand […]
I had this post written in my head all day. I knew exactly what I was going to write. And then, the thing I was going to blog about didn’t – hasn’t – happened yet. Still, that solves tomorrow’s problem. Still, a productive day. Just not doing what I wanted or needed. I really shouldn’t […]
I’ve just finished watching an illuminating interview with Max Mosley, former president of motor sport’s international governing body, the FIA. He presided over the sport from 1993 until 2009 – and therefore the majority of recent times when I’ve been watching it. He led the safety revolution in the mid-90s after the deaths of Roland […]
Firstly, this is post 501 on this website. I’m slightly annoyed that I missed 500, I hadn’t realised that yesterday’s geeky maths thing was post 500. Oh well. It’s only taken 9 years to write 500 things – clearly this year has been very good for the totals with 150 daily posts, a couple of […]
As if having the daily blog and the Formula One stuff on here already wasn’t enough, I’ve decided to separate out the maths fact geekiness too so there may be more than one update a day depending on numbers… Today was a full day of not very much that took forever to do. It began […]
A bit of a change to these posts as I move to ten lap summaries. This is down to a few reasons, the main one being a short lap around Monaco leading to 1m15-16s lap times. The weather looks good today and the mixed weather of yesterday appears to have gone. Here’s how the grid […]
A lovely day full of band, work and a hospital appointment. Both band and work were lovely – really enjoyable times. Nothing massively special about either. The main event at work is the beginning of production of recycled paper – we’ve made a pulp which is currently soaking. The paper bit will come later. The […]
I’ve already written about today’s Spanish Grand Prix and produced graphs of standings in the two championships. The race was ok, nothing special. A very tactical race – the only problem with that is they tend not to be very exciting to watch. Sure, there were 82 pit stops, but that’s too many really. Some […]
