 Threats of the apocalypse, capped ticket numbers, family chaos and a rubbish couple of years personally and professionally.

 

 

ALL FORGOTTEN WITHIN 5 MINUTES OF PARKING THE CAR AND HEARING THE NATS AS I WALKED TO THE ENTRANCE!

 

Talk about effective therapy.

So nearly didn’t make it here but so glad I did and it’s only Thursday. The rain started soon after leaving Melbourne and was very heavy for most of the trip. Bonus tree fallen across 1.5 lanes of the freeway for added excitement.

 

Then as canberra approached a miracle occurred - the skies cleared and by the time I was parking in the usual free spot it was bone dry. Turned the car off and opened the door to the heavenly sound of angry blown car burnout noise.

It’s hard to know where to start looking and the sensory overload is real.Full spectrum visual, auditory and olfactory assault.

P.S. Looks like it's gonna be a wet old Summernats, but then again, any time I've ever been there in the rain everybody goes nuts!

 

P.P.S. Haven't spotted Heath yet?

Just found him. Starting to get the car tidied up for a bit of action. The rain last night will have been a fierce test of his sunroof seal….
