It has been a bit of detective work . My son has tested positive , he had to have the test after someone in his workplace tested positive .
Apparently the not having to isolate doesn't come into force until August .
My son has no symptoms at the moment .
I will go and pick some mint leaves to see if I can smell them . It's not a test . I just like smelling them .

Misty start but sun coming out so off out at 8 o’clockish.
Best run I have had this year with virtually no traffic tho’ a strong headwind on the way out uphill.
Council have taken advantage of the Saturday changeover lull and are vandalising the grass verges on the single track road. Naturally they will not be doing the bit with my “dangerous corner “ where viz is obscured by bracken so I cannot check for oncoming traffic.
This clover in the pic will vanish.

Yep and then people wonder where the insects have gone, we need more 'meadowland' to support them.

That was fun. Just like watching a Formula 3 race.

I now have a and a slice of apple pie.

After watching the challenge cup final and seeing the guys play like madmen in mad heat I just decided to go for a ride... 27c at the moment but hopefully it`ll cool a bit as I go

I recon with a bit of tweaking the sprint race could be very good.

Yep, me too.

Shorten the distance, maybe? I think it was probably about 5 laps too long. Will be interesting to see how it works with next year's car.

I'm wondering whether a BTCC-style reverse grid might not be fun, with pole drawn out of a hat from the top 12 cars...

Maybe if they add the finishing distance/time into the mix for race start on Sunday.

It was a bit to long so definitely shorten it, I also think they should be allowed to work on the cars between to races, that would allow them to set the cars up for the sprint race then change the settings to set them up for the main race.

Mmmmm, that was tasty...

Burger and caramelized onions clapped between two slices of tiger bread, plus an array of grilled veggies.

Thanks for the tip about steaming the burgers @Gravity Aided - they were well tasty that way.

I like the jeopardy of parc ferme conditions. It just adds another layer to the whole strategy thing

I can't imagine Ross brawn ever dragging the F1 circus to Hednesford or Swaffham!

Bow ness and Windermere town were chocka today.

Well I did a quick 20 mile ride in 27c heat! But to be fair a lot is off road and bushes and tree lined meant I was in the shade a fair bit.
To top it off I just cooked my favourite healthy Korean tofu dish.... but added too many chillis!

Does Hednesford have a figure of eight? I used to live near there but never visited: it was bl**dy noisy on race days.
