Well, today was a beautiful spring day, light clouds, some cool breeze, and an a new airshow to hit the 'Perth' scene. As some of you may know, the 'RedBull air race' has landed in Perth with a phenomenal bang. I got up this morning, tired from quite a late sleep, been questing on a site I go on from time to time, but more frequently as the holidays set in, had a slice of another cake I made (another strawberry marble cheese cake), woke my brother and my cousin up at 7am and readied them for this event.
The cheese cake is of the same recipe as the last post, but in my attempts to make a harder cake base, I think I over baked the base, as well as that, didn't spread the reduced purée strawberries. According to my dad, it tastes pretty good, and last night, my aunty (a cheese addict), came over and took a slice before it had fully set in the fridge (1 hr, not overnight as recommended), she said it was delicious too, so all is good. Anyway, back to the air-race, I was a little unprepared for the event, I didn't bring a tent, no shade nor no sunblock =X and now I have a minor sunburn on my arms. The air-race was very exciting, I got to St James Mitchell Park, at around 8:30am with my brother and cousin and camped in an area near the big screen to watch the event. To our surprise, because I had not brought the guide for the race with me, the actual event starts at midday (WST).

The crowd built up over the course of the morning, and from approximate figures, 300 thousand people took their time to go and watch the even. This race is more than just a 2D F1 race, it's 3D with loops and acrobatic loops, and heavy G-Forces. We stayed, and I took quite a few pics, and those will be posted as soon as I can shrink them.

Overall a good day, just need some time to cool down, and get rid of what I believe is currently a sunburn.

Was wanting to head to the beach sometime this summer, when summer still is in, but since I think I burnt myself, I may have to hold out for a week or so to recover, but it shouldn't be too long, yet I have no-one to go with since my cousins are going back, and my parent's aren't the beach loving type, and nor is my brother who prefers the safety of the man-made structures (shelters). Still considering the possible options.

I'll have the photo's up soon, there were fantastic stunts and formations from the pre-race event as well as from the flying. I also took a video, but there isn't any sound because my camera is a little old fashioned.
