Firstly, I am not watching qualifying live. I have been completing a job outside and so the result has already been decided. Some news though, Lewis Hamilton will receive a 5 place grid penalty for having to change his gearbox after a third practice accident. Mark Webber and Esteban Gutierrez will also have 5 place penalties. The […]
This evening we were supposed to be playing a Spring concert at Grange Moor, however, because of the snow, that was cancelled. In fact, I should be there bashing stuff at the back right now. The main event of the day has been the Malaysian Grand Prix (my report). A fascinating race with lots of […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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, […]
Today was difficult. My memory stick failed on me this morning. Causing panic and swearing. Thankfully, I have plenty of back ups of my work for school – however, lots of things are currently lost. I’m hoping it can be recovered. Time will tell. In other news, today is our house-a-versary – a year since […]
So, here we are, hours before the first race in Europe of the 2012 Formula One season. Four races in, four different winners – Jenson Button, Fernando Alonso, Nico Rosberg and Sebastian Vettel– and no real pattern has emerged from this muddy pond as to who has the best car. Not only have we had […]
