What does a barometer measure?

Put this shot in the blipbank on a bright sunny day - today wasn't a bright sunny day, but on a dull damp day it still makes an interesting shot.

Watched Lewis crash out of another race - what makes him good to watch also makes him frustrating to watch. After Friday's Reunion and yesterday's Stag it was nice to have a quiet catch up day. We also caught up on Andrew's quiz which we missed last Wednesday, but our family was represented by youngshanks who's team finished in the money in third place.

Thought you might like to have a go at a complete Andrew quiz, rather than just those questions we got wrong, so here you are. Of our team members, Dave got 32, Mrs L got 32.5 and I got 31. Get a pen and paper and see how many you get:
