Revolutionary Rants

Woooo-hooo, the sun is back! It is perhaps a little bit jaded, ready to leave again in a second, but hey, it is here for now! Which is a much better state of affairs than yesterday, in my view.

Also, when we returned yesterday the clapped out car which has blocked our one sided little tiny road since we moved was gone!!! This probably doesn’t sound like much to you, dear reader, but to us it is bloody brilliant. It is a very hard spot to back in to at the best of times and gets crowded at the weekend, often meaning a struggle for us to get back in to our spot when we get back from a weekend visit or shop or whatever. Today, for example, we have a badly parked and never before seen Scoda and an enormous piece-of-shit-gas-guzzling-murder-wagon Range Rover to vie with.

Lewis Hamilton only managed second, but I watched my first GP since, well, 2001. The last one I saw was when a friend visited me at Ashenhurst in the first week or two of my first year. I used to watch it all religiously and supported Jacques Villeneuve, but having seen yesterday’s race (which was Monaco, of course, the highlight of any season) I must admit I wondered how I sat through so many qualifying rounds and 78 laps of so many races! It just isn’t football, that’s for sure…
