F1, Cornwall and the Midwife

It’s been little over a week and a half since I last gave an update here and much has happened.

Griff, Paul, Rach and I went to Silverstone to watch the F1 testing a week ago, last Friday. I happened to notice it on the ITV F1 website that all the major teams would be there, the icing on the cake being that it was free. Frantic holiday form filling ensued to see the four of us travel up to Northamptonshire for a fun, free day of F1 action. Needless to say, it was amazing. Back in the day I was quite the F1 attendee but the sport is not what it once was and this was the first time I’d seen the cars in action since 2000. The noise, speed and general atmosphere is something that TV cannot convey, try as they might, and would encourage anyone slightly interested in the sport to take time out to go look for yourselves.

It was a busy Friday as no sooner did I get back from Silverstone, it was time to head to Cornwall. We had been planning to go and see my parents for some time, but amazingly this was to be the first time we’d been down to Hayle in 2005. It was great fun doing absolutely nothing for 2 days.

Last Thursday we went to see the midwife for the 24 week checkup. Fi looks pregnant now rather than fat and little one is kicking quite strongly now. It is time for rhe mess that is our spare-spare room to be transformed into a nursery. It’s quite a nice size for a baby (smallish) and a room we don’t currently use so the disruption should be minimal. Best news is that Fi’s mum is coming over to help decorate it!
