Day 306: A cache, qualifying and photos
Work was the aim of the day. And work I did. Between watching qualifying for the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix tomorrow and visiting dad. And grabbing a cache (even though I said I wouldn’t). Mark Webber begins the race on pole and is now in his last few races in Formula One. It would be […]

Day 265: 100 to go
I’ve only just noticed that – 100 days left in this project and therefore the year. The first 100 posts flew by as well. Today has mostly been spent in front of the laptop working, preparing things for the week ahead. I also realised that I had one more document to make from the data […]

Day 209: Maths Dancing & A Published Puzzle
I saw that and loved it. I will admit that I had to look this up to check it was today’s number (I would have been annoyed had this been another day and I missed it…), but during one geeky session with a calculator, I tend to remember that 209=16+25+34+43+52+61. Which is kinda funky. Some other […]

Day 180: British Grand Prix, Saturday
Today was another day at Silverstone. We arrived at the circuit after a tortuous park and ride where the bus broke down en route. However, a flick of a couple of switches and the driver was back on his way. We made our way to Becketts – a fearsome sequence of corners – at the […]

Canadian Grand Prix 2013: Qualifying
Just like Monaco, the threat of rain is in the air here. It has been around most of the event so far and it has been dry up to this point. Practice 3 earlier was wet and drying – but it was also cut short due to a heavy crash at turn 11 in a […]
