got up early Saturday morning to watch the final F1 Qualifying of the season…

there is great excitement as these three were all in the hunt for the Driver Championship…

up a few minutes before to get a pot of tea ready, and then snuggled back into bed to watch the action…

watching live is much more fun than the PVRed version, although I do tape them to be sure to be able to see them if anything comes up and I miss the live show…

had a lovely time on this warm day…

started with an early morning F1 sprint race… it was too funny, because I slept in till seven which is quite unusual and the race started at 4:30, but I had PVRed it, lol…

I was outside for a good portion of the day and enjoyed the fish and morning glories…

later in the afternoon I watched diving, including some outdoors from twenty metres… yikes…

it is so high that they enter the water feet-first with their arms at their sides…

I do enjoy watching various sports;-)…

I was up late to watch an F1 race and got a notification from the doorbell camera advising there was an animal in view…

checked the app and spotted a deer, so I raced downstairs and watched a deer looking for a snack beside the cedar…

watched and followed it across the yard to the bird feeder…

and spotted a second one;-)… it was entertaining to watch their antics as they tried to get the sunflower seeds out of the feeders…

while I was watching, three more came into view👀…

such a treat to be able to watch them until all five headed off to follow the creek over towards the airport…

because I don’t pay for a subscription, the camera only shows the past three hours before activities vanish, so I don’t always get to see them, lol…

freedom…

last night I stayed up late to watch the F1 Las Vegas race…

I was thinking how lucky I am to have the freedom to do that… there was nothing special on today… and basically, every day is Saturday for me;-)…

it was a great race and I enjoyed it…

even slept in a bit this morning, lol…

pre-qualifying…

Saturday and Sunday were complicated because not only were the Olympics on, but F1 qualifying Saturday and the actual race Sunday in Belgium…

had to PVR some of the F1 programs, including pre-qualifying, as I enjoy seeing what all the commentators have to say as I continue learning the ins and outs of the sport;-)…

happily I was able to find the time between the Olympic sports I wanted to watch, lol…

pit-stops…

the new season of F1 racing has begun…

Saturday morning I was up a bit before the actual race and watched some of the pre-race show, before the main event…

I am enjoying learning more about many of the drivers and being able to recognize them…

and then the race was on…

it is still amazing how quickly the pit-stops happen and how much depends on which type of tire the teams are using…

it is also fun to try to get good photos from the tv…

one down and twenty-three to go;-)…

I had a nap in the afternoon and went to bed a little early Saturday night so I could get up to watch the F1 race from Las Vegas… usually the races are much earlier in the day, but this was a night race…

set my alarm for midnight and got up without a problem…

found a snack and drink and curled up in bed to watch the race…

stayed awake the entire time and enjoyed the action…

then I may have slept in a bit, lol…
