Went to the medium sized shops instead and drank coffee. Had some lunch. Took the tram back down town and went looking for a mother-of-the-bride-dress for a while. Still raining only worse.
We were kinda prepared for the wet so took our seats after drying them off a bit and putting down the plastic cushions to lift us up out of the pants-puddle. Five came and went. It rained and rained. Ten minute delay - twenty minutes. At five-three-o they came roaring out and Q3 had started. It was on for rookies and vets alike. Button swapped to inters just as the sun popped out and he set them on their ear. A few others did likewise and ended up on the top of the table led by Kiki. The rest stayed in the sheds and stayed dry and warm. Then it rained and rained and Q2 set for 6pm became ten -ast and then half past and we took a hike toward the tram stop.
I have to take off me hat to Melbourne and the organisers - half a million (well maybe a few thousand or so) people, all wet and cold and annoyed headed for the tram stop at the same time. We didn't queue, we just ambled up onto the platform and onto a tram and away off up into the city where once again we waited less than a minute for the good old 112 to show up and take us home.
Pizza and wine sounded as good as the warm shower and so it was. We had missed nothing as the Q2 and Q1 sessions were postponed till Sunday 11 am. Good luck with that.
A snap? One is all you're going to get:
