Yesterday was the famous Melbourne Cup (like the Grand National for any pommies). There is a tradition at work that everyone heads up to Level 12 where there is a big screen, food and drinks and prizes for the Best Hat and Worst Tie!
For those that have seen my blog before, you will notice my "Top 5" section that for the past few days had been tipping horses for the Melbourne Cup. It wasn't until yesterday at just after 3pm that I realised I am a horse-tipping genius - I picked First AND Second with Delta Blues and Pop Rock respectively. Only one more and I could've had the horse racing holy grail of the trifecta!
This would have been much more impressive had I actually put some money on these horses but alas I only went in the work sweepstake (where I invariablely get the lame three-legged nag each year) and this track record was not broken this year. Ahh well, maybe next year I will get them right AND put some money on them!

Damn, you missed out on some big bucks there! Oh well, always next year!!
The footy predictions weren't bad either, 2 right, 2 wrong and 1 still to be played.. Villa in 3rd now - amazing turnaround from last year!
Cricket looks like it could be shameful, and as for the Rugby (both codes) it's all a bit embarresing :(
Still jogging and doing the keep fit thing at 5.20am!?!?
Yep, still up at 5.20. Went for a nice 50 minute walk this morning and will probably play tennis on Wednesday :) The end of the world must be nigh :)
