Good Morning!

@Owlunar Thanks Dec! I am the same way ... I want to put everyone's name down but my poor, old, grey cells cannot remember all the names and then I feel guilty when I remember them later on ... like yours!!

You have a peaceful day xxxx

Good morning everyone! @Former-Member @Bubbles3 @Bunniekins @outlander @Owlunar @Faith-and-Hope @Shaz51 @Maggie and anybody else who happens to be around that I've missed.

Is anybody at the Melbourne Cup today by any chance? Perhaps some of you have a hot tip for the winner of the race that stops a nation?

Whatever you are up to today, I hope its enjoyable.

Hi @Former-Member@Former-Member@outlander@Bubbles3@Bunniekins

Yes - It's Melbourne Cup Day

I always have a flutter on the Melbourne Cup - it's the day when all the old ladies put a few dollars on - I don't back the horses - just use the same numbers every year and in the last 12 years I have had 6 wins - and no - my numbers are my secret

If you hear a lot of yelling in Melbourne just after 3.00pm that's me - yelling because one of my horses is winning - I get such a charge of adrenaline when the horses are racing

All the best everyone who has their annual bet - I hope you do well

Dec😁

Hi @outlander, I knew you had horse/s, but wasnt aware they were thoroughbred racehorses. I used to have a thoroughbred when I was (quite a bit) younger, she was an ex racehorse who didnt quite come up to scratch on the track. Boy could she run though, never could hold her back, she loved to gallop. And so did I for that matter. She was a lovely horse though and I bred a couple of beautiful foals from her. Purely for riding pleasure, never for the racetrack. Beautiful animals horses. I just saw a lovely story on the Channel 7 Cup coverage about the 1992 melbourne cup winner, Sub-Zero. Really nice.

How are you doing anyway, I think you've been pretty quiet of late. Hoping you are on the improve again.
