Today's weather. It was nice not having to have the air con on.

 

[Frank Bunn]

No different. The only thing is they turn off DRS and if the track is too wet the stewards will mandate that they have to put on wet tyres which will slow them down a little bit. If the rain gets too bad to the point it is dangerous they will halt the race but there is no indication of rain that bad.

Today's race was a good example of F1 being much more entertaining when there's a mixture of wet and dry conditions. The organisers should set up sprinklers round the track and turn them on from time to time.

It was fascinating to watch and hear the tactics.

Plus one for adding variables during the race. Probably not oil slicks but then again anyone who played racing games in the 80s would be familiar with dealing with them.

To attract non fans, probably a few crashes along the way too

Today was a reminder about what winter will be like. Hate going for walks rugged up

Pit crew throwing water bombs at opposition drivers.

Or each team should have to do a circuit dressed as a kangaroo or pantomime horse.

And my brisket turned out v well, and luckily it didn't all get eaten so leftovers for lunch!

My great uncle John died twice in WWII. First time my great grandparents had been informed he died and he turned up at their front door, second time he got blown to bits over Germany.

That's pleasing?

It was more the turning up announced and alive.

Now imagine it was his wife they told, and when he turns up on the doorstep months later, she's now living with his brother.

Saw my kidney doctor today at Epworth Richmond. My creatinine level is still stable and other tests results were good, even chloresterol. I won't get better having CKD Stage 3a-3b, but I'm not getting any worse at this time. Must keep up fluids until 6 pm every day. Next appt during Finals in Sept. Great view of the MCG from his 8th floor office.

One of the best views of the entire city is from the Shrine. And also from the MCG on the tour.

1st day back at work after almost a month off was nowhere near as bad as last year when I did the same.

Still have weeks to catch up on
But at least they sorted it this time and it's nowhere near as messy (last year it took multiple days to know point a to point b.... this year only half a day was required).

My jam is Daytona. I will beat your ass on advanced Daytona.

I can beat you or anyone else blindfolded (has to be the beginner track though!)

The beginner track is for losers.

You only have to turn the car literally once the entire lap

Going up to the beach cabin to do the guttering today and staying the night, "WFH" so bringing the laptop, should be a good Wednesday!
