A visit to the Goodwood Festival of Speed has left me chastened, not to say deaf. I didn't take any food as I relied on a programme note that one of the catering stalls would be serving all-day breakfasts. Forlorn hope. For breakfast I had a bacon and egg bap (the "all-day breakfast") and ate the bit of bread that had most egg yolk in it, and for lunch I just gave up and had fish and chips. With ketchup. It was a disappointment, very mediocre fare for a tenner.
However, guardian angels come in many guises ... as I stood beside the hillclimb track a man asked me to hold his coffee cup while he unfolded some tissue paper to reveal five tablets, which he said he had to take daily without fail. One for T2 diabetes, one for blood pressure, one for thinning the blood, one for something else (I forget) and one whose purpose even he couldn't remember.
It occurred to me that if I were to continue with the sort of diet I'd had that day, I might be in his shoes quite quickly. So my ears are still ringing but I hear the warning.
