Even more nerve wracking than exam day results, given the stakes involved, puts waiting for your GCSE’s in the shade- no retakes allowed with this one unfortunately.
Have been majoring on distraction techniques the last couple of days, on Sunday we went to the Chelsea Autolegends show – lots of beautiful cars, from old Invictas and Lolas to new Ferraris – lots to look at , but definitely no touching. As well as cars, there were various vintage motorbikes, being Chelsea lots of very well dressed people and rather strangely a parade of bunny girls. Given there was a special exhibition of women in racing, headed up by Jodie Kidd- we got the full range.
Late lunch in Chelsea, where we sat next to an incredibly boring man, who didn’t stop talking for the entire time- his poor dining companion didn’t get a chance to say a word. Then back home to watch the Formula 1 grand prix on iplayer – seeing Lewis Hamilton win another world championship was one of Ray’s initial targets.
Yesterday was a trip to the paralympics equestrian event , who knew watching dancing horses in the dressage freestyle was so therapeutic , followed by athletics in a packed stadium- amazing atmosphere.
Today is MOT day for the car, an afternoon of volunteering at the paralympics for me, and lets see what tomorrow brings. lots of luck to everyone else waiting for their results.
