Move fast stay warm

Everyone knows we had the coldest day in 43 years in Canberra on Friday. The maximum temperature never rose above 4oC all day. Joshy has the perfect antidote to the cold weather blues when he takes to the Canberra speedway in his super tuned go-kart machine. The rest of us piled on the layers for a relatively warm day at the track today (11oC). Joshy never felt the wind chill factor at all as he charged around the track at breakneck speed.

Even Ella has finally got out of her sundresses and realised the benefits of a puffer jacket although she's always known the benefits of running and swinging in the air.

These two photographs fail to capture the close race between Josh (no 17) and no 15 for second place in the Rotax Heavy division. Joshy worked his way past him in the last few laps with some exciting (and very dangerous looking) moves and succeeding in winning second place.
