Racing.

So last weekend was spent at the Donington Park racing circuit for the World series event by Renault. I loved it and it made me realise how much I miss going to motor racing more often. That weekend, Mr future-husband-Kovalainen announced he'd signed for Renault next year so obviously it was compulsory that I bought a T-shirt for next season. Unfortunately he didn't show for the event as I expected... there was some Grand Prix on somewhere or something. Nevermind, I'll catch up on my stalking duties another time.

I even managed to sucessfully train Niall in the art of freebie hunting... and we came away with a free renault cap which is way too big for my little head but what the hell, it was free!

Got some decent photographs too, something else I miss doing. I think the highlight though was hearing them play the national anthem on Alonso's winning Renault F1 car engine. Very clever and funny even though it almost made my ears bleed!



The past week has been pretty crazy and it's left me with a mad headache and feeling totally knackered. Work's been hectic and then in the evenings I've been trying to complete some illustration work for an important competition. Whilst stressful it was good to be focussing on illustration again and getting back into creating things and I'm pleased with the outcome too. Meet Mrs Neverly:

I'm glad to say I have a couple of days off work so first on my agenda is catching up on some rest and sleep after this week. I'm also planning on wandering round town, making another bear and working on some more illustration projects. Busy Busy Busy. :-)

Awesome illustration. If I didn't know better I would have sworn it was a clip from a claymation film.
