Revolutionary Rants

‘Tis a bad time for logs as no one is updating. Humph. I like to check all my blogs over my morning coffee but of late it has been a very quick job! Oh well.

Well, the Bank Holiday weekend approaches; will the bypass help with the evil of the traffic? Will the naff weather (muggy but gray so far this morning) mean people stick at home? We’re heading off to the caravan, so I hope we won’t be stuck in traffic for ages. We are looking forward to the longer weekend, although we have got used to the full-time work arrangements sometimes it is nice to revert to our student ways for a day or two. By that I really mean spend three whole days attached at the hip and sleeping until 9:30am before a slow start to a day of general pottling.

Sadly it looks like Lewis Hamilton will have to wait a bit longer for his first F1 victory, after having a smash in qualifying and with the Monaco course being basically impossible to pass on. You have to rely on engines blowing, crashes or such like usually. Never mind, maybe he’ll get lucky or if not I am sure it cannot be long until he zooms to the top of the podium.

Star Wars is thirty years old and there is a massive convention thing in LA. Now, don’t get me wrong, I love (the first three) Star Wars but I have never gone that mental about it. Probably it is a symptom of being a child of the 1980s (or does that makes me an 1990s child? Goodness knows) that Indiana Jones will always be more exciting to me than George Lucas’ epics. Sad but true, sad but true.

The Great British Menu finishes tonight, which Mr C and I have been enjoying for several weeks (it is on at 18:30, about when we normally sit down for our snap). We have voted online for Jeremy Lloyd who is great fun and cooks slightly less pouncy food than some of them (I mean, a four hour boiled egg?!). We shall see if he wins later on.

Anyhoo, I need to get our stuff ready for the caravan and get some petrol, so I’ll return on Sunday or Monday, I imagine.
