Supper ated, F1 highlights watched.

Having finally seen the incident, Lewis was well within his right to hold the line. Max made the mistake by keeping the boot in and bouncing off the sausage kerb. I think the stewards were well within their rights to impose a penalty, as it was Max's mistake that led to the contact.

Good job it wasn't the Headmaster in the stewards' room today.

Anyways, time for a and MOTD.

Being within your rights doesn't always make it right, they should both have been in front of the head master this morning, even if it was just to be told calm down, they're both being far to hot headed.

The penalty for Vestapen is pathetic! It is time that he realised that he can't go on barging people off the track . He did it on a previous lap and forced Lewis to take avoiding action . As Lewis said , he should have done the same thing and avoided the collision .
I see that for once Christian Horner didn't have much to say as he didn't have a stand to leg on .
I think the penalty should have been to start at the back of the grid for the next race at least .
I don't like the time penalties not being served in the pits. It seems like Red Bull's cars seem to be used like dodgems.

They're both being as bad as each other and need to be told to calm down

Morning .
It is light grey here and dry . I thought we were supposed to have rain in the night .

Quite cool today, seem to be a lot of squirrels around which made Cassie, er, squirrely. She wants to chase them, I want her to walk quietly at my side.

Seem to be a lot of people around too.

They do a certain extent but I think it is time that Vestapen learnt that he can't keep doing what he has been doing and getting away with it . I think the past 2 incidents have been down to Lewis doing what Vestapen has been getting away with far too long and not flinching from his line.

Grey morning but dry with a bit of wind which make it feel colder and also cools the house down a bit too much.
Windows, doors etc are all pretty well sealed but I discovered at one time that the wind was coming in around the skirting from underneath the floor which has some external ventilation.
Now that the mornings are getting a bit chilly and dark There is not the same incentive to get out early on the trike. Must try some other times to see if I can get a reasonably quiet period but given that the campsite and all self caterings are full that seems unlikely.
Not many years ago we had reasonable peace from the end of August.
I notice you now have to book and pay of course to visit Iona Abbey. We went over on an open launch and wandered around where we liked. Mammon is the main god worshipped there now I think.

I haven't taken my tablets this morning . I didn't know that I had run out of Lansoprazole which is the first tablet that I take. I'll have to pop out and collect my prescription .

Light rain in Manchester land this morning.

I keep a months supply at least in stock of all my meds. The pharmacy can and does run out of stock sometimes and with bad weather there can be delays in orders arriving. I never go to the mainland without a few days supply with me also in case I cannot get home the same day. It has happened.

@Reynard, @Illaveago,
How about a gander at their upcoming sale. I've seen stuff go for a lot less than I thought it was worth from there.
https://www.hartleysauctions.co.uk

Yes it does seem like a good idea. My wife and I watch some of the antique programmes and think Ooh! We should go there as the prices they make are low . In fact some people buy stuff at one auction and sell it at another where they know they will get a higher price.
The auction I watched specialises in toys and so will get a good price on its lots . Not very good if you are buying !
Whilst at some auctions I have heard dealers complaining about the internet bidding and how it has driven up prices! I have also heard some say that they won't make any money on what they have bought ! Well as they say "It takes 2 to tango!" They are partly to blame for the high prices. I don't know if they have to replace stock or not ! Sometimes they can pick up bargains. I think it may be the luck of the draw .

I've almost stopped liking Yorkshire Tea 🍵

I'll have to try something else before I totally dislike it.

They're both experienced enough and should have worked out that discretion is the better part of valor by now, they both need to be spoken to, by the stewards or the team, and be told that whats going on is not acceptable and they must stop now. Without the halo yesterdays incident could have resulted in serious injury.

The body of my laptop has developed a very slight but noticeable "buzzy" feeling in my fingers , only the case and not the control pad .....is it me or do you suppose that there could be an ever so slight electrical charge at liberty
