    Wow what a fantastic Grand Prix! They said on Sky that there were more DRS overtaking moves in that one race than in the whole of the previous season. Really pleased with the result, but won't say more than that, in case people watching later.

    Crazy isn't it? They broke a rule that was brought in last year after the same driver at the same team last year stopped his car on the track so that there was enough fuel to sample. Then expected to get away with it.

    Half a second though... That's a lifetime in quali. What a stupid thing to do when they would clearly have gained pole anyway. Oh well, 20/20 hindsight.

    OMG, if anyone is watching F1 I hope everyone is out and ok. BIG fire in the pit lane.

    I'm guessing F1's posh telly and I've got freeview.

    Edit: Nothing on there... flicking through and found the Hindenberg (Film 4, freeview 15) .... those of you who didn't know about pearlies, please tell me you know about the Hindenberg.

    If it helps I know about the Hindenberg and also knew about Pearly Kings and Queens.

    Not got much of a clue about Formula One though and the fine distinctions on what qualifies as good driving. I just thought if they were in the front and didn't crash they were doing well! ;);)

    We crippled away the afternoon out there, anting the new arrivals and weeding. Its funny, what looks impressive on the big pull around the nursery trolley is almost lost in the border. Really i know one should buy five of everything. But we are running out of room, until we dig out new borders, which i cannot do yet till more of the long term stuff gets done.

    On FIR's recommendation I purchased a Waitrose black pudding scotch egg today whilst in town. I didn't think it was much different from a normal one to be honest, although I was severely dehydrated when I ate it being about 2L of fluid down which does make a difference to how things taste so is an excuse to get another one.
