Default I love the sound of V8s in the morning

Woke up, got out of bed and heard the sounds of the V8 supercars around 5km away at Sandown through my open window.

It was quite warm today for this time of year - but there were some light showers during the day - barely enough to wet the road, then they would have dried up almost as quick. Showers forecast this weekend too.

Today was weird, started off great, turned to crap, came out sorta alright. Good old Melbourne.

Sandown without rain ain't normal. Adds to the fun watching people getting bogged after the race!
