Difficult day today. Calls about my (sham) redundancy, which - because I abhor confrontation - I am tying myself in knots over.
Spending some time out in the garden watching the birds of prey and the finches.

What an abysmal #LasVegasGP.
Race Director once again endangering competitors, spectators and marshals with asinine decisions.
Fuck knows what the TV director was watching, but it wasn't anything they should have been.
I'd have been fucking livid had I got up at 4am for that nonsense.

Today has been a classic depression day. Unhappy at everything, took myself off to bed.
Did visit Crystal Palace. On the right is the former circuit that #F1 greats such as Hunt, Hill, Clarke raced at. You can see the decent - they'd have raced towards you in this image.

Snow? How could this be?
The government promised us global warming.
We pay extra taxes for global warming.
What do we get? Snow.
Typical government project.

Also hello from HMS Belfast, a veteran of the Acrtic Convoys, Operation Overlord - the D-Day landings at Normandy - and the Korean War.
Built by Harland and Wolff, her guns were so powerful, they cracked the crew's toilets.
Nearly sold for scrap, she now sits next to Tower Bridge. #history #london

Hello from The Golden Hinde, a full-scale reconstruction of Sir Francis Drake's vessel.
In 1560, Drake returned to England 3yrs after setting out - the first to circumnavigate the world.
This replica was launched in 1973 in San Francisco, also circumnavigating and covering 100,000+ miles. #history

In an effort to improve the 8FPS I'm getting from iRacing, some essential upgrades are in progress.

Understand why some would feel frustrated at this film, but absolutely worth a watch.
That said, I have entire bookshelves devoted to nuclear war, so my view may not be representative!
It's no Threads, but enjoyable and timely nevertheless.

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.

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.

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.
