I went to the practice session for tomorrow’s Faugheen 50 road races this afternoon. They were very fortunate with the good weather – I got sunburned, which is quite rare in this part of the world! Last year it rained pretty much non-stop.

Apparently there was a bit of outrage in the US over passengers getting stranded on planes for hours shortly after so it came up high in search results and got used in a bunch of articles as a result.
