Melbourne Cup

It felt like I was back in Australia today. We had a lovely Aussie morning tea which included tim tams and anzac biscuits. We ran a sweep for the Melbourne Cup, and then some of us were able to watch the race live via the internet. It was really dodgy streaming, but at least we got to see the end. And I'm happy to say my horse came first! yay! I won $200, which makes me feel very rich, until I remember the exchange rate is so wacky that I actually only won about $25 in Aussie terms. Still, it made my day :-)
