Ahh, another year, another Clipsal 500. Since the F1 races left Adelaide, Dad and I tend to go to the Clipsal 500 every year, even if just for a day. Last year we didn't go because he had just had operations on his foot so this year we were extra excited. He was going on all 4 days, with me agreeing to go with him on the Saturday. Mum then found out a couple of days beforehand that she could get 4 Gold tockets from her work, so she snapped them up, so in the end the whole family went.
I had such a great time, with the only downside being the heat. We weren't undercover so spent most of the day in the shade, finally returning to our seats for the big race. All in all it was a fabulous day - my family all got along, I got to go to a Motorsport event for the first time in a couple of years, it didn't rain (although some clouds would've been nice) and the race itself had lots of cool incidents which kept things interesting :) I'm looking forward to going again next year already! Unfortunately, every single one of us forgot to take cameras with us, so the only photos I have are on my mobile. I'll probably post a couple when I get to downloading them off my phone.
P.S. I know I have neglected this Blog big time. There are only two things happening in my life at the moment - work and playing Neverwinter Nights when I get home, so I haven't had much time nor anything exciting to write about. I'll try and keep this place alive until I find some inspiration again though.
Since 2003 this Blog was known as Mel's Random Ramblings, but due to the word "random" being the latest buzz word with people's Blogs I decided that 2007 required a new name. Therefore, behold, A Call From The Wild*! Surely no one would ever take that title, would they? Anywho, the idea behind the blog hasn't changed. This is still just a place for me to vent, communicate, write about all kinds of junk, and so forth. Happy browsing! *Name may change again without notice.
She's Alive!!
