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 […]
Today was the day I’ve been rehearsing with Knottingley Silver Band for, Brass At The Guild held at Preston’s Guild Hall. It has been a long day: up at 5:30am, back in just before 9pm.

If Alonso does win this title, […]
In a recent edition of Autosport I happened upon an advert for The Guardian‘s Formula One Preview supplement thingy… and it’s amazingly beautiful. A simple idea, create Britain‘s biggest and brightest hope for the title out of all 18 circuits currently used in the World Championship, but it’s how it’s done that really makes it […]
This entry was originally part of a separate blog. I’ve merged them together now to make life easier. All the dates that the entries were originally published have been preserved. ——————————- I wish I’d have had time to do this while it was still all fresh in my mind… if I’m honest I don’t remember […]
