An easy day by the pool and some interesting TV

In the morning Noel caught  up with blogs and emails and Jennifer continued with her embroidery and we decided not to bother with lunch but have an early BBQ of Loin pork chops and salad.
The day was nice and temp only reached about 26 C and so the pool was a little cooler than usual but it was nice and kept you moving and was refreshing. It was nice doing a little sunbathing and perhaps a quick zizz but not in the sun.  The BBQ was great and Jennifer had defrosted two rather large Costco Pork chops and they took about 20 minutes of so to grill properly so that the chop was cooked all the way through. One chop was at least two inches thick  and so we decided it was all to much to eat so one chop went in to the freezer for sandwich filling and the other shared and there was plenty for both of us.
In the evening we initially watched the latest episode of ‘The Grand Tour’ with its usual rubbish and then understanding that Netflix were starting their multi part series on Formula One I came across the recently released documentary on
Sir Frank Williams of Motor Racing fame which was really excellent and most interesting particularly the wife's views on her husband, she is now dead but interesting to see Claire Williams trying to keep the family together. Frank was a bit of a bastard it looks like and the family unit is split as the sister and brother don't talk to each other but both live off the Williams car business.
There was good video of motor racing from the past and some lovely interviews with some of his ex retried colleagues who used to work for the team. Well worth a watch and then to bed.
