Last night was a full moon and I believe there is strong evidence that some people find it difficult to sleep when the moon is full. I remember very many years ago when I was teaching, there was a boy in my class who was rarely well behaved but he would have short spells when his behaviour was noticeably worse, usually every month when the moon was full.

There was an interesting programme on ch5 last night with Dara O’Brien about the moon , I think it’s a series of 2 with the second part tonight. I like to think that I have good general knowledge but I learnt several new things watching it last night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to have good and bad nights now. Sometimes I get a full 7 hours but other nights I'm lucky to get 3. I'm so glad you’re enjoying all the sport. I too have enjoyed the Test matches and I'm an avid football fan. I do so agree about F1 though. I still watch but without the excitement and anticipation of past years. I wonder if you're right about personalities being a "woman thing". I can't take to Verstappen either - he just doesn't do it for me. As I'm up early I thought I'd go for an early walk with the dog but he's still asleep! Actually scrub that because it's just started raining quite heavily. Have a good day. Jane xx I am not sure a dislike of Verstappen is purely a woman thing, I cannot warm to him at all either. Maybe as a result I am finding F1 boring as well, DRS used to be fun, but now it's way too predictable, and even putting Verstappen on the back row of the grid would not stop him winning. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose showing an interest in the personalities is perhaps a bit of a 'woman' thing? I think it is a bit of a 'woman' thing! Bring back Vettel I say... I have never taken to Hamilton at all. Pandemonium in this house a few years ago when Vettel and Hamilton used to fight it out😃 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t dislike verstappen as much as I used to but his petulant side comes out easily when things aren’t going his way. The car design rule changes introduced last year were supposed to have tightened up the racing but unfortunately Red Bull have hit the sweet spot and produced a far superior car (although Perez isn’t making the most of it). I hoped that this year the other teams would have learned and caught up, which they have from time to time but not enough to challenge Red Bull / Verstappen. We watch the start of each race hoping that Verstappen will come a cropper at the first corner to make a more interesting race. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lincslady Posted August 2, 2023 #48236 Share Posted August 2, 2023 I don't care for Hamilton either - but it is mainly that I would love to see more competition, and someone else win for a change! Especially a Brit - Lando or George. However, there is no doubt the Red Bull is the most reliable really fast car at present. Nice to see McLaren edging back in, though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angel57 Posted August 2, 2023 #48242 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Raining here in Dorset and pretty miserable. Plus, I’ve just had two teeth out. Cannot believe the cost of a dental implant…..

I hope you're feeling alright after your surgery ( which it is) and not in too much discomfort. Can I just mention the dreaded "dry socket" which no doubt your aftercare blurb will tell you about. I got this after an extraction a few months ago and it's really painful. Hopefully you'll heal without any problems but if you feel the pain is excessive please go back to the dentist ASAP. Look after yourself. Jane xx 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Splice the mainbrace Posted August 2, 2023 #48248 Share Posted August 2, 2023 It's a better day weatherwise here in Cheshire than I was expecting today. It hasn't rained today (did overnight), sunny spells, low winds and around 20c. There are a few showers around but we are avoiding them at the moment.
