Day 253 - Trackside


Dale was racing at Eastern Creek today so Henry, Mum and I went over to watch in the afternoon. After a not so good start, where Dale felt the clutch slipping on the bike, he ended up in a pretty good spot by the afternoon, ready to start again on Sunday. Henry wasn't sure what to make of it all but I am sure that in good time, if Dale has anything to do with it, Henry will get right into it :)

Day 36 - Latest Fashions from Europe Arrive to Beat the Sydney Heat!

Fashion Faux Pas? 
While Dale appeared to have a very good reason for this (I didn't want to get my socks dirty while I walked over to my boots) I was still pretty surprised to see him in sandals and socks! Out at Eastern Creek it hit about 42 degrees when Dale did a ride day today. Full leathers with a helmet looked pretty uncomfortable but Dale said that it was worth it. Although it has been hot in Canberra this week, this was different. At 6pm it was still 38 and when I went outside this morning at 8am, it felt like about 30. It is something I have noticed in Canberra; in summer it doesn't get hot that early!

Henry caught up on some sleep in the aircon, giving me my first sleep in for months (yes - until 8am!) and he even resettled himself when he had previously woken at 7. By tonight his temperature seemed to have settled and he seemed to be a bit more himself. Only problem is that now I have his cold. Why does a cold in summer always feel so much worse?!
