I love the V8's

Love the v8s supercars when they come to town. Love the sound, the excitment, the airplanes buzzing and helicoptors humming. It only lasts three days but we all just love the excitment. This year has got to be only the second year that I haven't been. Hubby didn't go either which was definately a first for him. Tana is here and has spent the last two days at the track. The amount of people comming and going has been HUGE. Over 102,000 people in three days and 42,000 of them just today. Now thats alot when you consider the population of our wee town (and surrounding areas) is only 20,000. There are so many people around in either Blue or Red and everyone seems to be happy and joking around. Personally I prefer the BLUE LOL
This years races were full of controversy however, so it will be interesting to see what the press make of all of it. Especially the Aussie press.

Weekend wrap up - well we have been busy driving people here and there and kids to grannys etc. Seems like we have been on the go the whole weekend with very little time to sit. Haven't managed to scrap either but that could be due to our little houseguest who has taken over my scraproom. Her luggage seems to have exploded!!! (love you Tana lol) and the floor is no longer visible. LMAO

Sad note is that Rosie the goldfish passed away last night. I realised something was wrong when I spotted her stuck up against the filter unable to swim away. Then she kinda just sunk to the bottom and did the big death roll. We rescued her and put her in a smaller bowl but I think it was all downhill from there. Goodbye Rosie, thanks for being such a cool fish. May your waters be clear and free from nasties and may you forever swim happily.

We then had to go to the pet shop and buy a replacement. Her name is Lilly and she seems to be settling in well.
