I'm taking Robbie to the Autosport Show at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham shortly. Last year we went the day after the Lancashire Cross Country and he enjoyed it and wants to go for two days this year. He only has two off island trips planned this year and they fall on consecutive weekends.

I'm quite interested in motor sport but two days of cars and queuing for Jenson Button's autograph, particularly when with Robbie you have to be at the venue from beginning to end each day, is too much for me and has put a stop to reviving my marathon training this weekend - or doing much on the website. At least the plane is an hour later than last week.
