well i know its thursday, but on tuesday we had a Melbourne Cup get together with some friends at my house. people arrived at around 12:30-1:00. we sat around outside and talked for almost 90 minutes eating nibbles. the weather was nice, blue skies hardly any wind. we had a bbq for lunch, complete with sausages, kebabs (lamb and chicken), burgers and fish cakes. we then did a sweep to pick our horses. and went inside to watch the race. it was so close at the end, practically a dead heat. my horse came third, and after putting in my dollar to enter i ended up with $4. after that it was back outside for our own race, The Cardboard Cup. which envolves carrying a small plank of wood with a cup of water balanced on it (at the front there was a cut out of a horses head - all made by dad) and you had to run down the driveway (which it quite long) around the bin and back with out spilling the water. sort of like an egg and spoon race. the winner (bruno) won $20. then we all had desert and after that steph, tim and i spent the rest of the afternoon at the park, hanging out and being cool.
overall an awesome day.
oh and thank god Obama won, i was at home watching it live on tv when it was announced and he made his speech. i hope there will never be anymore Bible bashing presidents who are still living in the 20th century.
