The long weekend was kind of a washout for me, at least for the first couple of days. The rain played absolute havoc with my plans of riding down to Jerez and getting me some Moto GP time.

Resigned and feeling sorry for myself I curled into a ball and committed Carbiside whilst watching movies. On the Saturday I bought a whole roast chicken and a baton of Tiger bread ate it and promptly fell into a deep sleep like a large snake.
