The other teams were aware the pit lane was closed, which caught commentators off guard, when they didn't pit.

Hamilton going to the stewards to during the stoppage didn't help his case.

There seems to have been a bit of a delay in the message as Hamilton and whathisname came into the pits and left whilst other teams were bringing their tyres out . So the pits being closed message wasn't communicated very well .

I must have been busy doing something !
I finally got round to putting the copper rivets in my Brooks leather saddle . I've been putting it off for long enough so I thought I would have a bash at it . Some bits went well and some were a bit awkward . The shank on the rivets were a bit short to cope with the extra thickness of the leather I had glued underneath to repair it . I need to file off some of the rivets to smooth them down a bit .
It seems to be getting there .

Magnusson should have got a 10 second stop and stop penalty for pulling off where he did . He should have coasted down to the pit lane where if he had stopped it would have been obvious that the pit was closed !

Aerial battle over house between two red kites and about twenty crows. Quite a sight.

And??

It went in the green wheelie bin (that was newly emptied this morning) to join the other assorted bits.

Time to put the paints away and find me a

Have had a quiet day today, but made good progress on the painting. It's now really starting to look like a locomotive and carriages at a station. Not blowing my trumpet just yet, as there's still plenty that can go wrong. Ink and watercolour are very unforgiving.

Brown bin emptied of blackthorn & hawthorn trimmed & binned.

Not sure I like this prickly stuff.

I ate a banana in the bath this morning. Never done that before.

Cats have been fed, and now it's time to feed me. A bit of a bitsas tonight as there are some gnocchi left and a dollop of admiral's pie. All too good to waste.

Just going to curl up with a bowl of food and listen to the footy on the radio. And keep an eye on the cricket on the lappy.

@tyred, I shouldn't have said workmen bothering residents after working hours was daft. They've just left after messing up the central alarm system, the wiring to the fire alarms, and the ''Link line''. (Technically,the place is classed as sheltered housing, and all the flats have alarm cords throughout.) They'll mend it tomorrow. Allegedly.

Not good.

Not good.

Very damaged.

Zathras can never have anything nice.

On the other hand, I can have an indoor barbecue without getting deafened. Though, as there are also sprinklers throughout the flat, it might end up being dryer outside. Unless they've managed to disable that too.

I have two weeks off work so booked a few days in a B&B in Westport for a wee cycling break.

The light bulb in my bedroom is so dim I can't read my book without straining my eyes. At €45 per night you'd think they could afford to run proper lightbulbs..cheapskates!
