Wine

It's been one of those weekends where I didn't do any big things, but got by doing lots of quite small things. Which was OK with me. Friday was a night in watching a movie and drinking wine (Little Miss Sunshine, good film; Grey Fox Vineyards (California) Grenache Rosé 2006, nothing special).
Saturday was running. Made 10.2 km on a revised course from the gym. The course is OK but I am not happy with the last 4k. It needs better scenery, or a hill or something, so God, if you're reading this... thanks. I've got some ideas about where to go with it, and if I had the time on Monday I'd go out on the bike to explore. As it is, I have been summoned to parents to fix their computer. Did the same route on Sunday evening as well, but did it.... backwards.
(Not running backwards, which would be awesome to watch, but starting from the finish point and going round to the start.)
I couldn't explore alternative routes on Sunday, obviously. Hangover from a night at the pub with my boss wrote off the morning, and the Monaco Grand Prix was in the afternoon.
This year's Monaco Grand Prix was an awesome spectcale – rain at the start saw cars skidding all over the place, crashing into walls and each other, car parts flying all over the place. A great result for Lewis Hamilton, who hit a wall in the first lap but went on to finish in first place. The German driver Adrian Sutil nearly had his best result ever until stupid Finn Kimi Räikkönen hit him and took him out. Kimi was OK, but it was painful too watch Sutil go like that. Actually, Kimi had a pretty bad race himself as well. Ha ha.
The Start of the Race. Felipe Massa, Lewis Hamilton and Kimi Räikkönen in the first three cars. I think there was only one car (out of 20) which didn't crash once, and Kimi must have got through about 3 nose cones. Each nose cone costs about £10,000 each, or so I'm told.
