Tuesday, 14th November 2006 – Macau Tuesday was a dismal sort of day weather-wise. However, we didn’t let that stop us. Breakfast was marginally better organised than it had been the day before, though the actual food was still poorly labelled, and there’s no decent bread to be had, only white that looks and feels…

Travel 2006 – Macau, Day 3
Monday, 13th November 2006 – Macau Monday I got up just before 8 and went off to investigate the hotel gym. It proved to be precisely 5 pieces of equipment, none of them a treadmill, on the 23rd floor, with the French windows open to the elements and more importantly the humid Macanese air. I…
Travel 2006 – London, Hong Kong, Macau, Days 1 – 2
Saturday, 11th/Sunday, 12th November 2006 – London, Hong Kong, Macau Saturday went pretty much as you’d expect. We left for Heathrow at 12.30, and even taking the long way round we were there in plenty of time to hand over the car to the Purple Parking attendant (who, disappointingly, wasn’t at all purple) who takes…
Travel 2006 – London, Lacock
Friday, 27th/Sunday, 29th October 2006 – London, Lacock The weekend? What can I say? Well, it was packed, hectic and pretty damn wonderful in all sorts of ways. It just doesn’t seem to have involved enough sleep! Friday started out well, and I worked from home in the morning, while Lynne was out getting her…
Travel 2006 – Mugello
Thursday 7th/Monday 11th September – Mugello, Italy Italy – what can I really say about it? Let’s start with Thursday, which was really entirely eaten up with travelling. We got a good early start on Thursday morning, which turned out to be just as well, because the M40 was grindingly slow after a “police incident”…
Travel 2006 – Brands Hatch, London
Saturday 1st/Sunday 2nd, July 2006 – Brands Hatch, London Well, we had a really relaxing weekend at the DTM meeting at Brands Hatch. Charlie Kimball, being the lovable guy that he is, had very kindly got us some passes from his team (Signature Plus), as had our friend Mark Hillier who was running Julia Kuhn…
Travel 2006 – British Grand Prix, Silverstone, Saturday
Saturday, 10th Jun, 2006 – British Grand Prix, Silverstone Again the day started early, with Glyn (aka Megamarshal) leaving for the circuit at 7am, followed by Wendy and Jane arriving at the house to pick up the two spare hospitality passes we had. We were supposed to be having them on Sunday, but a shift…
Travel 2006 – British Grand Prix, Silverstone
Friday, 9th Jun, 2006 – British Grand Prix, Silverstone The day started horribly early when Skil Piccione called to say they were just leaving Northampton on their way to Silverstone, and she would meet me at the circuit gate. I got ready in nothing flat and headed out of the door, arriving on the approach…
Travel/Food 2006 – Oxford, UK
Saturday, 28th May 2006 – Oxford The weekend was gloomy in weather terms, though we made the most of it. Late on Friday afternoon, Gina arrived for the weekend, and after champagne and the latest episode of Doctor Who we hit the Rice Bowl for Chinese. As usual it was very good. A session on the…
Food/Travel 2006 – Portishead, Curry Rivel, Kingston Episcopi, Muchelney, UK
Saturday, 1st April 2006 – Portishead, Curry Rivel, Kingston Episcopi, Muchelney We recently went west to visit Lynne’s parents, and to coincidentally take a trip to the Somerset Levels in search of smoked eel, cider brandy and history. The trip down was relatively easy once we worked out how to avoid Oxford (they’re digging all…
