Today was Melbourne Cup day and we had a little party planned. Xenia, Stu and I spent the morning cooking lunch and making a cake for afters and then Emma turned up at around 12 dressed as if she was actually going to the races.
First thing she said was "well I'm glad you guys made the effort!"
We all laughed hysterically and told her that she had definitely won prize for the best outfit, we called it the 'Fashions in Fairfield' award. Too funny.
For the rest of the after we just relaxed had dinner, chatted and generally had a good day. I got the sweepstakes form from the paper and put all the names in a bowl and we all picked out horses and then put $5 dollars in the pot each for stakes!
Mood set and everyone knowing which horses they had, the race began….then it was over and I had WON! YESSSSS! Well Done, Dunaden that's £20 to me - thank you *cha-ching*
The guys stayed for a bit and we just spent the evening being silly and generally had a really great day.
It was nice to be able to relax for a bit after the week in Sydney, but I can't relax too much, Xenia will kill me if I don't give Melbourne a good run for its money…
