The weather's been lovely this week (sadly not today though, when I actually got to go out rather than being stuck in the office!). Wednesday I walked home along the canal, from Frog Island to Aylestone Locks. Part of the route was congested by students - DeMontfort and Leicester universities were having a rowing match! Although I like walking along the canal it can be a bit scary (weird men sitting on benches drinking beer have been known to be unpleasant) and it's sad how much litter there is everywhere...

John came to visit this weekend, to watch the Australian GP with me. Hooray for the return of Formula One! Since he was here we (me, Rob, Ali and John) went to Rutland Water today. The weather was pretty cold and windy, so it was back on with the winter coats and hats. We've definitely been spoilt this week, it was hot enough for summer tops and jackets. Various trees are starting to bloom and the daffodils are all coming out. Ah well, it can't be nice weather all the time.

The F1 qualifying was interesting, not really sure about the DRS (Drag Reduction System) and KERS (Kinetic Energy Recovery System) but perhaps it'll make things more exciting. I don't know really. Last year was so exciting anyway it seems odd that they have to keep inventing new things. Interesting that Sebastian Vettel wasn't using KERS and still managed to way out-qualify everyone else! D'oh. Will get up early in the morning and see what happens. (Shame it's clocks moving foward tonight - unfortunate timing!)

I think that's about it for now. :)
