Overcast
morning with heavy clouds – rain predicted. Glad we did our walk yesterday.
I
put on the washing as there is more rain forecasted for tomorrow too.
Marion
said her friend had a spare ticket so I dug out my dress from last Melbourne
Cup – when I was actually in Melbourne at the Cup with ‘the girls’ last year. I
had given away my fascinator but Marion had a spare one. Left Steve home to
hang out the rest of the washing and to do his maintenance check on the truck
and van.
We
were with two other ladies, Cheryl and another Marion at the Campbelltown
Catholic Club. Kerri-Anne Kennelly was the host and there was a fashion parade,
best dressed competition, live music and a photo booth. Marion and I had some
fun. I had forgotten to take my camera.
Lovely
day with delicious food and a few drinks. I had backed 5 horses and even got
some good ones in the sweep. I saw Prince of Penzance on the list and said to
Marion that I should have backed that one as I love the Pirates of Penzance but
it was such long odds I figured I should save my money!! Should have done it!!
We didn’t realise it carried a female jockey otherwise we all would have backed
it. I did win the Lucky Seat and the prize was the flower arrangement on the
table!!
After
another drink in the Club’s boardroom we headed home.
I
cooked dinner and even made sticky date pudding for Pete as it is his birthday
tomorrow. Rang Mum and Dad to see if
they backed a winner – they did but didn’t put a bet on!! Texted Sandra and
Wendy to say I was thinking about ‘the girls’ today.
