Another Pleasent Day

Seriously it was. The only thing of note was that at 16:58 the girls next door decided to call the fire brigade so suddenly I had fire trucks pulling up outside and firefighters in breathing apparatus wandering around my garden. The Brazilian Grand Prix began at 17:00 so I decided to do the only sensible thing which was to check that I wasn't actually on fire before completely ignoring them. This was a pretty good decision because the first three minutes of the race were action packed with crashes, safety cars, a punch up and fire in the pit lane. The race was eventually won by Mark Webber but more importantly Jenson Button finished sixth making him the 2009 world champion.

Aside from that I've not really been paying much attention. The protests at the Ratcliffe-on-Soar power station have continued with the station operators and the police trying to emphasise that the power station has not been shut down. Technically this is true because powering down a power station before powering it back up again actually takes the best part of six weeks so the operators have kept the power station ticking over on a skeleton staff. This means that the station is still operating but not at a high enough level to supply power to one home let alone three million.
