Did those boots cause you to make jump starts?

Yes, Snet. Guess the Zephyr was in the wrong but may have been returning to the paddock area with a problem. However, I note the driver of Rover is looking in mirror in order to back up. In the crunch stakes my money would be on Aunty.

I hear Geely, the owners of Lotus, delivered 50,000 face masks to the Norfolk & Norwich Hospital today.

Should keep them going for a while!

I was going to catch it last night but I couldn't go into the back garden because I'd set off the hedgehog camera. Went to the driveway and the security lights set off! Fortunately the guards were asleep.

I stuck the drone up to see how many people are milling about behind my house, only two that you can "just" see walking down the drive. I consider myself very lucky to live where we do in the UK and not stuck indoors in Spain.
I have 5 flights booked this year and I doubt if I will be taking them or getting any sort of reimbursement from EasyJet ? However as I was remarking to Martin Short the other day on his FB page, those 5 return flights are less than one race at Spa !Click image for larger version
