Having my head in two places at once...

There's been a fair amount of interest here through this morning - not least down the road at BBC Somerset - following the fortunes of Jenson Button, aka the 'Frome Flyer', as he tries to seal the Formula One World Championship this weekend in Suzuka, Japan.

Colleagues and I kept an eye on the rain-drenched practice sessions through the early morning and for me, it's a love affair that involves a little bit of extra work!

The 'Frome Flyer', Jenson Button, is currently leading the 2009 Formula One season in his Brawn GP car.

Alongside my 'day job' here for BBC West, I also provide detailed weather forecasts for BBC Sport's 606 Forum during each Grand Prix event.

So this morning, my work flip-flopped from telling our radio and TV audience about the regional weather prospects here in the West, to checking Japanese rainfall radar and sending weather update 'nowcast' emails to the BBC's online F1 journalist over in Suzuka, Sarah Holt.

I was switching my brain from forecasting a sunny morning in Stroud one minute, to a sodden afternoon in Suzuka the next.

Am I the BBC's first virtual globe-trotting weatherman?
