The Race that stops the nation

Well, today is Melbourne cup day, this one 2 minute race down int he the city of melbourne that actually stops the whole country. people in offices and workplaces around australia actually stop work to watch this race. im sure none of us really know why, but its a good excuse to stop work, have a glass of champagne and have a bet on the hourses.

the people in melbourne even get a public holiday.. Sheesh. so typically has meant a very very quiet day at work.. so bored was i, that i decided to get creative and make a facinator out of a sheet of A4 paper and a mintie packet. Melbourne cup is as much about race fashions as it is about the horses..and so i got into the spirit. hopefully ill be able to get a pic of my creation on here at some stage.
