Another day done

That's qualifying over and done with. Another scorching day. Apart from the incident with my earplugs, which I subsequently found in my jeans pocket, it's been a good day. Even my makeshift lunch turned out OK. The qualifying was great to watch, though I think judging by what I saw, Marquez will be breaking his Red Bull Ring duck tomorrow. Dovi and Vinales for the podium too. To top it all, I managed to reach down and grab the KTM side stand puck today. Will try for another tomorrow,

On the way back, I fuelled up at Hofer (ALDI) @ €119.5 /ltr. Ginny had covered 245.8 miles and was still showing range of 95. Maybe I'll test how accurate that is.

By the time I got back to the hotel, I was sweating buckets. It's been over 30 degrees. I never expected it to be this hot. I got in and decided to jump in the corner bath and have a shower. The bath is on the slant, so I felt myself slipping 'downhill' away from the taps once the water began to flow. It's not east to have a sitdown shower anyway but on a slope and with no shower curtain!

I popped over the road for my dinner. I'd reserved a table by the river. I wasn't right by the water, hence no photo but it was better than dining inside. I had my usual weissebier and a change from the usual schnitzel, with grilled chicken. The riverside unit has it's own  chef and tiny 'kitchen' area, so they aren't marching food across the road.

Alarm is set for 7am again. I'm hoping to be in my seat before 10.00, when the MotoE race starts. That's the electric bikes, for the uninitiated. The day should be finished by about 3pm. Here's hoping for another warm and dry day, though that looks unlikely and that all the riders, including myself, end the day in one piece.
