Oct. 20th, 2008 04:37 pmI have a twitching muscle just off of the bridge of my nose. It's odd and slightly distracting.
I was still kind of sick for the first week of my holiday. Spent a lot of time napping, didn't overdo the walking. Had to bail out of our climb of Liathach two thirds of the way up, unfortunately.
Stands of mature Scots pines are where it's at, particularly the Loch Maree strain of ol' Pinus sylvestris. I find Scots pines very calming.
Yesterday I caught up on two weeks of rally highlights. I love YouTube and mtv3.fi.
In brief: Rally Catalunya has got boring. Corsica is as beautiful as ever and I really wish we'd gone there. Henning Solberg is delightfully honest: "It's just me - the other guys can all drive on this kind of surface. But I just don't know how to do it." In a continuation of a theme, everything happens to Toni Gardemeister (the flu; catching up to and getting stuck behind a slower car; depantsed spectators waving their cocks at him*). Jari-Matti Latvala has got his mojo back (YES!). Malcolm Wilson overdid the team orders. Loeb will be unbeatable on sealed surfaces until he retires.
*yes, really.
