July 4th (Fri)

Due to be going to Leicester on Wednesday!!!!

It's an easy day. L was having a freebie in return for fixing the radiators. He rings and says he can't afford the lesson?!

Do a mock test with S who doesn't shine as she can. Hope she can get it together by next week, the old pass rate has taken a battering of late.

There's a big sporting weekend ahead. Not only the finale of Wimbledon, but also the British Grand Prix at Silverstone.Rumour is that Silverstone will not be the venue for more than one year. It's moving to Donnington. I used to like Brand's Hatch,but that seems right out of the picture now. I have completely lost interest in the sport in recent years, but again, something is tugging me back. Hamilton seems a very personable young bloke, and to have achieved what he has at his tender age must mark him out as something a little but special. So on Sunday I have a viewing decision to make!

In my younger days, both these events used to be a Saturday occasion, but at some time in the eighties we fell in with the rest of Europe and switched our major sporting focus to a Sunday. Oddly for a sport that has torn up tradition for cash at every opportunity, footie still keeps the cup final on a Saturday, and let's hope it continues to do so.

The curry tonight is marked by three of the best Bombay Duck I have encountered since their return, and I am moved to order some on the net. I can see the attraction of this form of trading. In the last couple of weeks I have ordered some bits on the web. A camera cable costing £19 in PC world was found for a fiver. Ordered it at 3pm and it was lying on the mat by 10 am the next day. A similar story with a line for my mp3 player.

I await their arrival.
