You can remember Summer 1995?

What day was it?

You don't!

There was a brief wet spell on the 16th August.

Dude, you really aren't selling motor sport spectating as a hobby here...

Who said I was spectating?

Someone had to get photos for Autosport.

That Dudette was me.

And as I'm short, I was wading knee-deeper than everyone else.

I miss British summers...

It's easily done.

Oh, that was summer was it?

We were frying eggs on a tin roof.

I was also paid for two days "hard work", £30 cash.

It was close enough that I think you'd be able to hear it when races are on. Even if that isn't an issue, think of the traffic on race days...

I used to be able to hear racing at Castle Combe race circuit 3 miles away. It didn't bother me as I had grown up knowing it was there and I like racing.

Also known as ankle deep to the rest of us

Edited to add: The recycling bin has been put out ready for the morning collection.

Shorts out, might rain might not.. Bike day, schools out, excellent few weeks of clear cycle ways paths and roads.

I hate Silverstone. It always rains when I go.

May bank holiday race meetings can be funny ones - either you're wanting t-shirt and suncream, or you're wanting the winter thermals. Usually the latter, going by experience...

My worse one was at Mallory, blazing hot so no T-shirt and with my Binoculars round my neck.

My girlfriend thought the 'tanlines' hilarious.

Fifteen pounds a day for frying eggs on a roof sounds an interesting job description. As my dad would say "Not really a career though, is it?"

Did you have to provide your own roof?

You took a girlfriend to a motor sport event ... thats like taking a loaf of bread to the bakes

It's Monday again

Morning. Grey here.
I am prepared for my visit to the dentist today after my trial run last week.

That would explain why I'm sitting at my desk: I knew there was a reason.

Bummer. The sun is just visible over the side of the valley. Unfortunately my window faces in the wrong direction, but it's reflecting nicely off the art-deco plasterwork of the building opposite.
