Gig:  Christmas Live!

Venue:  Doncaster Racecourse

Not really a gig day, but I set off from there that morning!  The weather forecast was decent - but wrong!  Dean Clough was rather lively when I got there and I couldn’t cross at the usual point.  Fortunately a few metres upstream I could step over!

I made it back home to watch the remarkable conclusion to the F1 season.   The next gigs would be the coming Friday and Saturday - with a resumption of maths teaching before then - but at a school without a convenient SOTA summit along the commute…
