The first 100 posts flew by as well.<\/p>\n<p>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 that I thought I&#8217;d completed yesterday &#8211; which allowed me to spot a small error in one of the ones from yesterday as well, so that was a positive. I still have a list of jobs to get done, five things in total plus another non-work job to sort (the non-work one is arranging <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"David Bowie\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/David_Bowie\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"wikipedia\">David Bowie&#8217;s<\/a> Heroes for brass band. It&#8217;s 80% done but I need to fix a few things on it). A fair bit of the school stuff can get done tomorrow night as I have a governor&#8217;s meeting at school where it is easier to stay on school until it begins at 6:30 rather than go home and have to go back again later.<\/p>\n<p>The other big event today was the <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Singapore Grand Prix\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Singapore_Grand_Prix\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"wikipedia\">Singapore Grand Prix<\/a> &#8211; another race won by <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Sebastian Vettel\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sebastian_Vettel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"wikipedia\">Sebastian Vettel<\/a> in frightening form. A <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Safety car\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Safety_car\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"wikipedia\">safety car<\/a> half way through the race eradicated his lead to nothing and he still won by over 30 seconds. There is no chance that he will lose this title. I just wish that the races were a bit more exciting. Most of the coverage settled upon the battle for either 8th or 11th since nothing else was happening on track. That&#8217;s a sad state of affairs. The sport has seen dominance before &#8211; and there&#8217;s nothing wrong with that &#8211; it just makes it harder to love it!<\/p>\n<p>Since it&#8217;s a night race, the victory is celebrated with a mass of fireworks, like this one:<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_21700\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-21700\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thomasjpitts.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/l_f7e9151df605add7a4324afe09cca492-4.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"21700\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/thomasjpitts.co.uk\/wordpress\/l_f7e9151df605add7a4324afe09cca492-4\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thomasjpitts.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/l_f7e9151df605add7a4324afe09cca492-4.jpg?fit=1199%2C800&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1199,800\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"l_f7e9151df605add7a4324afe09cca492-4\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Singapore Grand Prix: post race fireworks&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thomasjpitts.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/l_f7e9151df605add7a4324afe09cca492-4.jpg?fit=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-21700\" alt=\"Singapore Grand Prix: post race fireworks\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thomasjpitts.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/l_f7e9151df605add7a4324afe09cca492-4-300x200.jpg?resize=300%2C200\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thomasjpitts.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/l_f7e9151df605add7a4324afe09cca492-4.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thomasjpitts.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/l_f7e9151df605add7a4324afe09cca492-4.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thomasjpitts.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/l_f7e9151df605add7a4324afe09cca492-4.jpg?w=1199&amp;ssl=1 1199w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-21700\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Singapore Grand Prix: post race fireworks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h6 class=\"zemanta-related-title\" style=\"font-size: 1em;\">Related articles<\/h6>\n<ul class=\"zemanta-article-ul zemanta-article-ul-image\" style=\"margin: 0;
