Long day today.
Today was a long day. Up at 0530 for a drive to Hereford for some Arabian horse racing. Left home at 0600 then a quick stop in Tolworth to pick up the graphics operator for the day and I(we) were speeding on our way to Hereford. We had plenty of time as the first race wasn't until 1400 and we weren't using our normal ARO OB truck as it has a diesel leak so we have a big truck coming up from Warwick which made the day a whole load simpler. We had a good chat on the way up as our gfx op had finished some chemo treatment in the last 18 months and had lots of good dietary tips etc.
Racing was straightforward as ARO only use 1 camera plus there's nothing like photo finish to setup to the day is easy for everyone. Anyway 8 races later and finally at 1815 we've packed up and are leaving the course. We get stuck behind the OB truck and a horsebox for few miles but soon we're clear and speeding home. After dropping of our hire car and driving home I'm in about 2215, as I say a long day. I'll feel tired tomorrow as I'll be up at 0510 to head of to the office in Reading for the day job!
