The tweeting of the 500
Sleeps All Winter now has over 500 followers in Twitter, which isn't bad, I think you'll agree. He has many more than I do and I'm human. I think this just goes to show what a grrreat teddy he truly is.

I feel good
I have that self satisfied feeling you get when you've done a bit of exercise and you're sitting on the sofa watching your favourite TV show (Dr Who, in this case).
It was only riding my bike home after work but put it all together and I'm feeling good.
Right. What's next?

The Malaysian Grand Prix
Vettel wins again!
Now you don't have to read the rest of this blogpost. Aren't I thoughtful? But if that's not enough...
It was a great start for Nick Heidfeld in the Renault Lotus as he launched himself into 2nd place from 6th on the grid. A place he would ultimately give up to McLaren's Jenson Button who had started in 4th. With Sebastian Vettel's Red Bull getting away from pole position cleanly and him controling the race until the finish, these drivers made it onto the podium.
Red Bull's 2nd(!) driver, Mark Webber, nearly got a taste of champagne but the race only has a finite number of laps before he ran out of opportunities.
According to the First Law of Italian Driving, what's behind is not important. I doubt if Ferrari saw it that way as both their drivers limped over the finish line in 5th and 6th places, fighting each other for a handful of points. Felipe Massa trumped Fernando Alonso on this occasion, which must have put a smile on the Brazillians face.
Kamui Kobayashi, Sauber, had started 10th but another stunning drive from this exciting Japanese racer, battling it out with Michael Schumacher's Mercedes over a considerable number of laps, got him up to 7th place ahead of the McLaren of Lewis Hamilton. The Brit had some trouble with his tyres toward the end of the Grand Prix before being hit by Alonso trying to make a move on him going into turn 3. Both cars needed to pit again, Fernando for a new nose, Lewis for fresh tyres.
The last two points paying positions went to Schumacher and Force India's Paul Di Resta
One final note.
Vitaly Petrov took his Renault Lotus for an adventure on the penultimate corner. I'm not sure what exactly happened at the time of writing but trying to get his car back on the track, it suddenly shot into the air, across the track and when it landed the onboard camera was showing that the steering wheel had come away from the rest of the car!

Malaysian GP qualifying
It goes Red Bull, McLaren, Red Bull, McLaren, Ferrari, Renault, Ferrari, Renault, Mercedes, Sauber.
And believe me, it's close at the sharp end of the grid. Now we wait until the Grand Prix, which starts at 9:00am, UK time.
Who wants to sleep in on Sunday, anyway? My boys certainly don't.

Thoughts before bed
I should have been asleep a while ago but I was watching Donnie Darko on TV. It's a great movie. It was also trending on Twitter so I'm not the only one who thinks so.
Anyway, those were my thoughts before bed. Goodnight.
