Evesham Cats Protection, Sunday 30th October, 2011.

Upon arrival we find Elsie in her usual position. But what's this? She's still got part of the turkey rasher she had with her eggs toast and beans for breakfast in her gob. Swallow it, Elsie, swallow it.

That's it, look no further. This one wins our 'favourite cat of the day' hands down. Well, it's David's favourite anyway.

With all the feeding and cleaning-out over in record time this morning we get a chance to learn a new skill: grooming the long-haired cats. It's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it!

This is Robbie. Here was here a month ago. This is perplexing. We can't understand why no-one has taken a shine to him 'cos he's a great bloke. You know where he lives: adopt him!

It's only 12:30 and some lucky blighters are already on their second feed of the day. David wishes he was. He's only had a bowl of muesli and fruit, that was four hours ago, and his tummy's-a-rumblin". Time to go home.

HSCC, Silverstone, Saturday 22nd October, 2011.

Yes, we know we said that our last visit to Siverstone would be the final one of the year but we lied. Well, with a reasonable weather forecast and the chance to see our favourite single-seaters of all-time (the F5000's in case you were wonderin') for a third year running, you wouldn't have wanted us to do anything else, would you? This is a 1975 F5000 Lola T332, with Steven Chaplin at the wheel, trundling down pit lane. Note the expression on the face of the chap in the background. Says it all, really.

Size really does matter. Just ask Gregory Thornton about his 1964 4,727cc Ford Falcon if you don't believe us. His is at least 73 metres long. At least.

So, just what is the definition of a crisis? Is it the fact that yer Porsche isn't running all that well and you've only qualified in the midfield or is it the fact that yer gas cylinder has run out and the pan of sausages you are cooking for your lunch is only half-cooked? You decide.

Yay! David is very happy following a successful trip to Silverstone's, ahem, facilities.

A fine battle ensued for the victory spoils in the Guards Trophy race for GT and Sports Racing cars. The Ginetta got in front of the Chevrons by the end.

The spirit of Jim Clark lives on. Mark Jones won the Historic Touring Car race and constantly aimed his 1963 Ford Lotus Cortina at the bollard-thingy on the inside of Brooklands on every lap. He finally scooped it up on the penultimate lap. Getting the thing onto two wheels was obviously the key.

Silverstone can be a cold and desolate place at the best of times and today is no exception. But, crucially, it's not as cold and desolate as when we were here a fortnight ago. Now that was cold and desolate. It's positively balmy in comparison today.

Let's finish off with a shot of an example of the much-desired Mitsubishi Lancer 1.6 Auto Equip (in black and with the same clocks as an Evo, lest we forget). But what's this? Some scrote has parked a cowing' old historic MG sports car in the way. Git!

Now then. I happen to know that you have only just returned from your visit to Tony and Paula's and that very nice Paula would have fed you very well. So if you continue to refuse me a tiny morsel of your satay chicken or slices of ham I shall get Vicky to take a picture and if said picture appears on the internet somewhere in the next few days everyone will know what a total pig you are (oh yes).

Vicky doing her best to ignore the 'Beehive', a new building which has sprung up in Worcester in recent months. HRH Prince Charles would hold this up as a fine example of a 'carbuncle'. Very few would disagree with him we think.

We love and respect all motorsport competitors but, every now and again, one comes along who we just can't help but like that little bit more.

Silverstone, Saturday 8th October 2011 (Pt II).

We're not saying that it was cowing' cold on Saturday but suffice to say that the marshall second left has definitely got the right idea.

British GT action at The Loop.

Rather splendid road-going McLaren attracted the attention of lots of blokes of a certain age but not our Vicky (oh no), she's spotted a rather lovely old Ferrari and is off to gawp at that pronto.

And here is the object of her desire. Good, innit?

Poor old naive Tiff Needell. He's driven up to Northamptonshire for the day, parked up somewhere he thinks is safe, and he's had his wheels nicked already. He should have given those kids a fiver.

GT3 Nissan GTR-jobbie. If it was in black it'd be perfect!

Harry Tincknell, F3 Dallara F311 Mercedes HWA, exits Chapel and heads down the hanger Straight.

Close battle for the British GT race with thirty minutes still to go, thanks to the Safety Car being out for a while, was eventually won by the Aston. Pesky foreigners trailing in it's wake, as we're sure you will all agree, is how it should be.

Silverstone, Saturday 8th October 2011.

What is this strange attraction Vicky feels for all things Ferrari? But in black? It's lunacy!
Howard has got a job as the Vita4One Ferrari gofer-on-a-quad-'bike-chappie. David wonders how come Howard gets all the good jobs.

Evesham Cats Protection, Sunday 2nd October, 2011.

First things first: Pandora RIP 24/09/'11. She'll be missed by us all.

Minty has found a shady spot. Alright for some. What about the volunteers?

Don't let him bring that whirrin' thing any closer.

Yes, me and Riley both. We've got the life alright.

Elsie enjoying the warmth of our much appreciated (sort of) Indian Summer.
