Jubilee Weekend...annnnd Formula Student

I went to church yesterday for the normal service at 10 and afterwards, they had some Jubilee activities that I stayed around for.  First, we watched a video of the Queen's coronation 60 years ago and then there was a quiz.  I did awful, only getting one answer on my own (Who was Prime minister - Winston Churchill).  I learned a lot though, like her title before she was Queen was HRH Princess Elizabeth of York (HRH = Her Royal Highness).  I also learned that she has officially visited 116 countries in her 60 year reign and that her title in the channel islands is the Duke of Normandy.  She was born at 17 Bruton Street in London and her childhood nickname was Lily Bits. Also, the last Diamond Jubilee was celebrated in 1897 for Queen Victoria.  So there.  Mini-history lesson!

Also, the Formula Student team got going again on the car last week, now that a majority of exams are over.  They are going to be working long hours over the next couple of weeks to hopefully get the car ready for the Bosch Event on June 19.  Here are some pictures from the pits this week:

Today and tomorrow are bank holidays, but I am going to use this time to catch up on some research for my EngD and getting organized for the Engineering YES final on June 20.  We can't get into the pits to do any manufacturing work on the car until Wednesday.  Pressure's on!
