Hello strangers. It's been ages since I last posted, as I have to confess to not being very well of late.
I hate to say this, but I'm still not 100% and my GP even banned me from marshalling.
I'm feeling ok-ish at the moment, so I went down to Castletown today and "just" watched the amazing racing.
It felt weird not having a camera (or three) in my hands, or wearing any sort of bib, but I got to enjoy the races, which was unusual. I don't know about the rest of you, but when I'm photographing (or marshalling), I don't "watch" much - I just focus on the next shot and as soon as it's taken, get ready for the next. Oh & of course, it's safety first - you always have to ready to jump! Watching was quite relaxing by comparison, but also more exciting / scary at the same time as of course you're watching what happens further up/down the road.
So anyway, my apologies to Eddie, Chris and all the rest of Sector 5 for not being with you this year, but if you do see me out and about, please come over and say hello or something.
B
