Up late AM and down to St Giles' to sign up for the pubs tour. Went to the Isaac to watch qualifying. Found a very jaded Heather watching the cricket.She'd got well squiffy at the Barbican do (glass kept being refilled so didn't know how much drinking). She'd honked in the train loo on the way home so on coke/water.
As Nicole didn't wan to turn 1 screen over we went to the Portland to see if they'd put it on but watching cricket there too. Ended up going home & listening to the shocking coverage from BBC Radio Five Live.They (and I) kept missing bits because they would pop off for other events (eg rowing or tennis) or run the news and promos for forthcoming shows.
Utterly Shite.
Afterward we went on the tour with Adam. It utterly pissed it down while we were doing the tour. It was better than last year (despite the rain). Returned to the Isaac to dry off and have some food. Watched thew cricket with Heather (and an increasingly large crowd of blokes (stag do?)).
England actually won the game!
I doubted that they could manage it and Heather agreed but retained hope.
A fantastic run chase and England won the ODI series 3-2 :¬)
Sunday 21/06/15
Down to Aldi for some nosh then to the Isaac for the Austrian GP. Had to sit through tennis but it wasd nice talking to Pat. Heather came in for lunch and asked loads of questions about the sport as she wanted to understand more about it.
A good race but a potentially fatal accident on lap 1. Raikkonen had a problem exiting the bend and veered left just as Alonso passed him on that side. Kini collected the McLaren and he ended up on top of the Ferrari nearly taking his head and/or his hands off. Luckily both walked away.
Rosberg won the race after beating Hamilton to the 1st corner prior to the crash & safety car. He never looked back: Lewis did attempt the undercut but it didn't come off. Then he compunded his problems further by crossing the pit exit line resulting in a 5 second time penalty. Massa held off a charging Vettel superbly to come home 3rd (where his kid had predicted he'd finish) after a terrible Ferrari pit stop had put Seb 12 seconds back.
