OK, I get it....we are in the middle of the Irish Sea and we really should expect some inclement weather, but really....rain every day....and the racers can't even get in any practice time!
I feel sorry for the racers who come from all over the world to race, spending countless amounts of money
and not be able to get in any road time!
Until the weather co-operates, we found other entertaining things to do, such as meet up with an IOM friend for lunch at The Prospect Pub in Douglas. I had what I would call 'a nacho lasagne'. Layers of tortilla chips, chili and cheese, baked until all gooey! Top it off with a very creamy sour cream, and you don't need to eat for a week!!
Even though the rain was persistent, there were a few sunny breaks which allowed us to walk through the paddock to check out the bikes.

I even got a chance to bump into the famous John McGuinness, the second most successful TT rider next to the late Joey Dunlop
On the way home, we took a few minutes to stop by my favourite place on the island, The Mann Cat Sanctuary
The day ended with a traditional UK delight.....
Looking forward to sunny skies, or at the very least, no rain....:)
