Friday 5th November

Just had a thought....is it Fireworks this weekend in the UK? I love Fireworks and it's one of the things that I miss being out here.
Australians don't celebrate Guy Fawkes (naturally) so there's no loud noises over here this weekend.

Oaks Day was great. Had a really nice time, and I even managed to stay fairly sober (that's a first!!). Here's the outfit I wore.



Alana took the photo for me. You can't really make out the dress or the top I'm wearing over it, but you can make out the hat, which is what it's really all about!!

There were some fantastic dresses and hats there, but unfortunately the weather didn't hold and and it rained later in the afternoon and was quite cold. There were all these girlies with their little bits of dress who must have been freezing cold!!

Didn't do too well in the betting at the racetrack, but we went to the Casino afterwards and I won $75 on the pokies. We'd already played the electronic roulette and I had a bit of change left over so sat at a machine for a few minutes....and bammo, there was all this noise coming out of it and I won!!!

My feet hurt!! And I'm tired!! And I've put on weight again!!

Hello babes - glad you had a good time - you look fab! Although we'll just have to imagine your shoes! Got fireworks with the neighbours tonight - Steve and Paul have been out and got a huge supply to scare all the neighbourhood dogs & cats with! Should be good. Glad to hear that you won some spondoolies too - great way to start the weekend!!! hopefully talk soon. xxx

Cute blog. Not sure if its the Blog Explosion site or what, but your site seems to load very slow. Could be the picture sizes. I am on a super fact pc and direct connection. I will check it outside of BlogExplosion and see if that is the proble. Either way, its great to see some new sites on the server at last.

Every year the fireworks seem to be getting bigger, louder and more dangerous here in the UK. The government have banned fireworks between 11pm and 7am but no one seems to take any notice.
