Blood, sweat and tears...

The buzzing of the alarm clock, placed strategically next to my bed becomes my early morning headache, whilst my duvet suffocates me as i roll out of bed at 5:30am on Saterday morning.
The day was a scorcher and the sun sucked every water particle form my body as we departed my house.

Roxy and myself, after arring at the A1-Grand Prix, were escorted to the tents at which we had to proceed with our 'promotions'. So much for promoting! The two of us ended up behind the 'cash desk', consisting of one calculator and one Lacoste box for the float. All was good on Saterday and we managed pretty well. Sunday however hit us like a dog on heat!!
The tent was a mad house! Only having three grillers and three girls managing the cash, we were spinning! The crowds just kept on coming! Murphy's law, during the rush of it all, they had to close us down because our trading license had an error or something so minor as that.
Half the customers had to be redirected to 'Moodley's Breyani' because Spur was officially closed.

What made the weekend most enjoyable was engaging with the other spectators as well as a cameraman and his little sidekick. Roxy and i were soaking in the morning's sun on the grass, as we had a full view of the cars passing. We were then approached by these two Smurfs running around the grassy lawn, catching as much of a crowd as possible. We were initially asked by them if we were willing to be interviewed so obviously we agreed.
The Interview consisted of the following questions and anwswers:

Interviewer: So how are you feeling about today
Us: Oh it's an absolutely amazing day and we wouldn't want to be anywhere else right now..
yak yak yak...It's going to be really exciting...yak yak yak...

Interviewer: So you guys watch the Grand Prix often or support the Grand Prix?
Us: Aaaahh.... ya we really dig the whole atmosphere of it and checkin out the cars etc...yak yak

Interviewer: So which team do you support?
Us: (pause)...(look at each other)...(pause)...
Roxy: I don't know, Claire which team do you support:)

Interviewer: Ok... and how do you think South Africa will do?
Us: (pause)...ummmmm.....(sweating)...
Roxy: Hopefully first, second or third!!!!
