Title: Melbourne Cup
Post by: cookie1 on November 03, 2009, 04:04:09 am
I think everyone must be at the Melbourne Cup today or at a lunch. Hope you all had/have a lovely time and win lots and eat lots of delicious things. :D

That would have been more fun that where I was...a room full of frazzled uni students madly working through various exams.

Public Holiday!!  >:( Ha! Not in WA...
I went to a luncheon in out little town and had to model in the fashion parade. :-)) It was really poorly attended and I couldn't even have a drink as I had to go and pick up my beautiful puppy from the vet. He was run over on the weekend by a visitor. (He's OK, just needs lots of rest)

Oh he is so beautiful. He reminds me of my girl that I had for 18 1/2 years

yes Melbourne Cup is a little over rated here in WA and not all functions are well attended because we don't get the public holiday  :-))

Glad to hear he is OK - yes Melbourne stops for the Cup.  It has become an unofficial long weekend as so many (especially schools) now take the Monday (and some also the Friday) as an RDO (or correction day) and so the caravan parks were full at the weekend along the coast.
