Cup Day

The only thing that makes up for having to go to work on Cup Day is that they put on a champagne breakfast for us.

So now I'm pleasantly toasted at...12.30 pm. Excellent.

Off in about half an hour to place a few more bets at the local TAB. Then, off to the pub to watch the race and get even more maggoted revel in the excellent company.

And $17 later...

Dear Septimus, Master O'Reilly, Nom du Jeu, Varevees, Prize Lady and Barbaricus,

It's the knackery for you. Perhaps you'll be better as a solvent for holding pieces of wood together than as race horses.

(Un)sympathetically,

Me.
