My digestive system when I consider a snack at 10pm:

Buy cottage built in 1600s. Move to countryside. Find out you've been shafted by the seller. Get made redundant. Lose income. Have home flooded by storm.

IN THE NAME OF ALL THAT IS FUCKING HOLY GIVE ME A FUCKING BREAK FOR FIVE MINUTES, WOULD YOU? FOR FUCK SAKE.

Dad insisted on picking the entertainment whilst we play cards.

Germany, you have yet more explaining to do.

From my walk today.

The road in the foreground is Maxim Rise, part of the old #F1 circuit at Crystal Palace.

Bruce McLaren, Stirling Moss, Jim Clark, Graham Hill, Jackie Ickx, James Hunt and Jochen Rindt all raced here.

I wonder if the employee welcome box at Red Bull teams include a dummy. You know, the one the drivers like to throw...

Being able to completely rebuild your car because you are not happy with it shouldnt be allowed. New PU etc and that Red Bull is absolutely flying and faster than anything else on the track. Helps as well that nobody is defending against him - just letting him through.

Red Bull, with a brand new engine, with a new setup, with DRS:

Cue SkyF1 fawning over Max for two hours.

I'm not sure what's cooler: my BFF Martin Brundle knowing the members of Linkin Park or the members of Linkin Park knowing who Martin Brundle is and being pleased to speak to him.

This #caturday, I present to you a cat that is not mine, nor my parents'.

I don't think he gets much attention from his owners.

He is currently curled asleep in the middle of mum and dad's hallway, getting some peace from the Guy Fawkes fireworks.

That is a truly horrendous accident for Gabriel Bortoletto.

As someone who grew up watching #F1 in the late 80's and 90's, we live in far, far safer time.

Spending some time with mum and dad to do some mental health recovery.

Dad and I crowded around the tablet like we were woth a tiny portable tv a few inches across, back when we raced R/C cars on a Sunday in the 90's.

Saying goodbye to my '24 Mini Cooper Sport today.

Such a fun little car.

Trying to do some mindfulness to stop the bad thoughts. First time modelling in about 9-10 months. Threw all my old ones away, so starting afresh.

Thanks to everyone who has reached out on here.

Sham redundancy, suicidal ideation, self-harmed. Have folk who care looking after me, but finding things very difficult right now. Not finding joy in anything anymore.

All that to say I appreciate the people who have messaged recently.

Feeling tremendously sad this week. Like the dam holding back the tears is straining not to burst.

Trying to listen to things that make me happy, but feels like it just makes them worse.

Having your own thoughts constantly working against you is exhausting.

Corrupt president of corrupt governing body demonstrates institutional corruption in corrupt election process.

More at 10.

(Also, Ben Sulayem: you still have the shittist haircut in all of sport. Including that NFL dude with the pudding bowl.)

Ben Sulayem unopposed? Big FIA presidential race twist
The battle for the FIA presidency has taken a twist, with incumbent Mohammed Ben Sulayem on course to be unopposed because it now appears impossible for rivals to qualify to stand against him

I aways derided the Metro as an underpowered crapbox, until I found it my grandmother mounted a monstrous traffic island and bollard, parking her Metro inconspicuously perched on top.

Which she has ways denied.
