Le Mans

Another thing we did on holiday, was to make our pilgramage to Le Mans. There's a rather nice museum there - I took many, many photos of cars old & new, like this one:

Some legendary names - Go Jonny!!

I say that without irony - there have been more successful British Formula One drivers, but Jonny's still a hero in my eyes!

Speaking of heroes, here's me absolutely demolishing the lap time of the previous guy to have a go, while my eldest looks on:

They also had footage of that Mark Webber incident, where the Merc he was driving took off. Spectacular stuff!

Deathfield 1943

I've had a quick go of Battlefield 1937, or whatever year it's supposed to be, on Xbox Live Arcade. My experience goes something like this:

Spawn

Run to nearest area of battle (takes about 3 minutes)

Die

Repeat ad nauseam.

I'm the guy at the bottom with 10 points, from one kill the whole game.

What am I doing wrong?! I really, really want to like this game, but somehow it's just not working for me ...!

My lovely wife

My lovely wife knew I was a bit stressed with work, and she bought me a pressie - Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10 for the Wii. She really is very, very lovely!

I've played a couple of rounds so far, and it's just what I'd hoped for - "realistic" enough to be a good challenge, without overdoing it. The motion+ controller stuff seems to work nicely, I get none of the false readings I'm used to seeing in (say) Wii Sports golf.

What a lovely wifey!
