Started buying some beer with20% off voucher. Tested and it's ok but now i need to wait for another voucher in the post. Last year i brought 100 odd pints and 50 bottles of cider all 20% of and saved enough for us to spend all saturday afternoon in the Guinness tent!

If weather forecasts are to be believed, there will not be much 'warming up' in Belgium. One website is even predicting snow!

Don't you love these weather sites  ;D

Supposedly the same data, yet there's everything, from snow to scorching sun!

Hope it's a dry one, for those hitting Spa  :)

Wet & cold, certainly not what we had in the past 2 years.

Thursday will be wet, Friday might be a bit better.
Saturday should start dry, but could get wet by the end of the race.

I hope it's not too wet for you (still gutted not to be able to make it this year) but at least you shouldn't have the icicels we had on Sunday morning last year. Have fun.

Just got the beer in to drink while watching in comfort at home.  ;D
Do you think I'll be pushing my luck if I ask Jo to produce some frites about 5pm Saturday?

Ive dragged the camper through another MOT. Needed a windscreen (Snowplough near Aviemore on way to Strathpuffer 24hr), a steering rack and a near side sill. Needs the paint sorting now and the tap has stopped working. Otherwise it's going well and looking forward to its sixth trip to Le Sarthe, eleven years since its first visit (where did all those years go?). Cleaned out the chest freezer last weekend and checked it still works (yes). Pretty well organised for once.

Don't speak too soon So. I am preparing as well, in a Manchester hotel ready to fly to Greece for two weeks.
