Who To Support This Weekend ?

What a quandary ? Who do I support ? No I’m not talking about the World Cup. What a fiasco that has been for England. No I am talking about something that may well see a Brit winning.

Yes its F1 at Silverstone this weekend so who do I want to win, Button or Hamilton or even Webber ?

Obviously as a Brit I would like to see either Button or Hamilton win both this race and the championship. However, I also have great admiration for Webber and feel he would have been World Champion if not for some incredible bad luck.

Despite the fact that he is an Ozzie it is nice to see 3 Union Flags on the podium even if one of them is only in the corner of the Ozzie flag. And when you look back over the season so far the Union Flag has been on the podium for every race.

So come on you guys make Silverstone a hat trick of Union Flags. I’ll leave it to you to sort out the order.

Busy Weekend

Yup, Have a busy weekend in the offing.

With a fine forecast for Saturday we are having a B-B-Q so it will probably be wild, wet and windy. But never mind I can cope. After all who was it who had a B-B-Q on Boxing Day not so long ago. I can cremate food in almost any weather conditions

On Sunday we are having a bit of a family gathering in Sussex. A little bit like an American Supper but this will be more of an American Lunch. Descending on my aunt’s house, which is around the halfway point between our various homes, we will all be bearing food and drink. So I, with my wife, will get to have a grand old chinwag with my sisters, their partners and of course my aunt who has been elected to make the teas and coffees.

She in turn has also threatened to make a mystery “Lemon Bake”. Something that my youngest sister has warned me off.

We shall see !!!

Weazel – RIP

Stepped out of my front door this morning to be confronted with a corpse, that of a Weazel.

The poor little fellow is probably the latest victim of one of my neighbours cats who have been responsible for other deaths over the last few days. This is no wild accusation as I observed one of them consuming the remains of a Wood Pigeon at the beginning of the week.

On numerous occasions my neighbour has bemoaned their activities as they seem to like to bring her “presents”. These have variously included slow worms, frogs, rats, mice, squirrels and of course birds. All have been delivered in various phases of dismemberment.

Well here is one she won’t have to deal with.
