“@charlie_whiting: Ok, raise your hand if you want me to bring in the Safety Car? #F1” Consider my hand raised.

Black and white

I'm sitting at home, watching Sin City, all black and white with little splashes of colour and everything. This reminds me of childhood memories, watching old black and white movies and new colour movies and coming to the conclussion that the whole world used to be black and white "in the olden days". To me, at such a young age, this seemed reasonable because all the black and white movies were set in the past and all the colour movies were set in the present. Thank god my train of thought never included silent movies(!)

The red button

I was going to bed late last night, just after 02:00, when something made me check an F1 app on my iPhone. Imagine my surprise to discover that the first free practice of the new Korean track was currently in session. As quick as a flash, I was back in front of the TV, watching it live.
And it's all thanks to the BBC red button.

Kicking The Hobbit

I'm reading J. R. R. Tolkien's classic, The Hobbit. I have been for some time. Years, in fact. I started the book in primary school and still haven't finished it. I've got about a hundred pages to go and it's real slow going.
Just to set things straight, I'm not a slow reader, it's just that I barely read the first couple of chapters when I was a child before being tempted away by something shiny, I imagine.
Years later, I came across the book in Waterstones and resolved to finish what I started when I was small. And here's the problem, the book just doesn't grab me. I could put it down and say I was right first time but I'm determined to reach The End.

eBay

We're trying to set up an eBay account. There is much swearing and cursing. I fear for our sanity.

Grrr!

I had decided upon the subject of today's blog around lunchtime, but it went completely out of my head after I got a text from my ex. I won't go into the details of the text here except to say that it involved me having to travel to Orpington and back, twice, if we wanted to spend any time with Tom this weekend.
From Harrow, that's no small ask. It's more than a couple of hours, there and back and that's not even taking into account things like tube work being carried out and having to take a rail replacement bus or two.
I'm telling you, things are gonna change.

Monday... Again?

I really didn't feel like going into work this morning but then again, who does? I do it to myself every week. Friday night, Saturday, Sunday, all well and good until, Da Daa Daaaa...
Monday Morning.
Why does it surprise me every week? It's not like it's never happened before, is it? We all know what's coming. But for me, Monday morning always catches me out.
Well, it's over now. I'm going for a long, hot soak in the bath.

A grand day out

I've had a really nice day with the family. Lou and I took Freddie to see the swans, geese and ducks at the Ruislip lido.
We made a small detour on the way to a craft market that we spotted from the bus.
After taking a few pics at the water's edge, we climbed aboard this little train, which Freddie loved, that took us to a carvery and our Sunday roast.
We plan to do this again when Tom is with us.

Bubble bath.

I was lying in the bath earlier. It had plenty of bubbles in it and the water was good and hot. Very relaxing...
