Yes Merry Chrismas everyone.   the Days are getting long now so it wont ne long.

Whilst I have to agree that the ACO do seem to be over inflating the price of tickets.  The lean years for them with no Spectators in 2020 and limited numbers in 2021 and no doubt the over spend on the Centenary Race they are no doubt attempting to re-coup the losses. 

This year I spoke to a number of "New" groups who where really enjoying things on there first visit.  So even if the die hards stop going they will be replaced by a new generation of Fans.

Having only missed 2 races in the last 45 years I too am wondering if it's time to call it a day.  Prehaps the only thing stopping me giving up is the chance of some close racing with the Hypercars.

I used waze for the forst time in France because that was how the ACO directed me to the Ticket collection point.
Since then I've used it as my satnav of choice.

I'm using it on an iphone linked to CarPlay.  The best feature I find is that if I have an appiontment in my diary Waze automatically picks it up.

Cheers Lennart.

No comma No.

Phil has the Jab documentation.  I didn't tell him about Monkey Pox.  Even if I did I don't think it would put him off.

Lots of people are pointing out the negative aspects of Brexit.  I'm not sure I've seen any comments about the good things Brexit has bought us.

Hi Guys,

Cost £72 + PP

You have eMail.

You have a PM.

I suspect we will see a big drop in cases of food poisoning and other poor hygiene related illnesses since people will be washing their hands more frequently and more effectively.

There is also the chance that there will be a increase in crime as people fight over the supply of Bog Roll.

I wonder if someone dies fighting over toilet Paper will it be counted in the death toll of Corona?

Don't listen to them Mark.

I went a few times in the 80s and then again in 2016, 2018 and this year.

This year it snowed.  That did make the track look far more picturesque than normal.   (It's difficult to believe that's possible though.)

There are far too many good places to watch from and in many places your higher than the debris fence.  It's almost unrestricted as far as where you can view from.  You'll also find it's a long walk if you want to get away from a bar.   Unfortunately there are not any restrictions on getting in to the Paddock so you can find that a bit of a distraction.

The Camping in P3 is shall we say primitive but we have been able to make do.  (This year I cheated and stayed in B&B mostly because of the cold and Snow [It doesn't fit with my condition. :-) ])

You will leave hating yourself for not going sooner.  So it may be better to stay home.

Hi,

I didn't realise it have been so long since I posted an update to my progress.    There has been anything eventful to report really.

Today I received my last BCG treatment.  It's taken a bit longer than the 3 years in the initial plan. 

There is still no sign of the Tumour returning.  I will be having a CT scan in the next few weeks and then regular follow up cystoscopies for many years to come.

Hopefully they will all show no sign of the Tumour returning.  Fingers crossed!

I be to agree with Kristof the weather was insane but it made for a very interesting weekend.  I’m  glad I took my cold weather gear.   :-)
