Morning all from East Anglia.

Up early to be here for a meeting, forgetting traffic will be lighter because of half term.

Catching up on stuff with the hour I have to kill.

Afternoon, just had a three hour session of landscape gardening uprooted a couple of old bushes, flagstones and have filled my recycling bin for Friday's collection. Now a relaxing afternoon awaits...work tomorrow.

After daytime TV it's a slow but steady progression to drinking plastic bottle cider near railway stations abusing people.
Work is a necessary evil...

What an awful day; all my advantage wiped out! Partly because a mercy delivery of parts needed from the UK got held up in Moroccan customs because someone needed their palm greasing and as a result the interpreter stated in Casablanca to the and grease said Palm and the contractor thought that meant he could have the day off. So I sat like a lemon on site doing trivial stuff till 15.00 when he eventually turned up but with no bits for me he was supposed to bring from the store, sods off for another hour to go and get them, we then try and fix the surface mount lamp post and the Moroccan fixings don't work so it is stuck overnight balancing in the wind! Not a happy bunny I managed to fix the solar charge controller in the cabinet and that was about it! Taxi back to the hotel before dark!

I now have to pack my case so I can access all tools without having to empty my dirty grundies all over the site tomorrow and manage to keep a change of heavy clothes on hand for flying back to freezing Blighty at almost midnight. I should have had a pool day tomorrow!

Have fun all...

Appreciate the good wishes chaps - it didn't go quite as well as it might.... She had something of a panic attack once on the circuit, similar to the problem she sometimes gets when skiing and decides she can't get down a slope she's been on umpteen times before. Strikes in a flash, and she's like a different person - at Silverstone she was convinced she was going to crash and die on the sighting laps, with a max speed of 78 mph. This is not a speed that typically worries her on the M1, other than it means someone is holding her up. Shame, as otherwise it was a perfect day with just 6 other cars on the entire circuit.

Sorry to hear that Drew, it sounds as though she needs to keep at it and confront her fears or seek some sort of therapy for it if there is such a thing? A very tricky situation...
