I suppose you recollect November’s first Tuesday’s
sacrosanct; and no its nothing to do with shades of
Halloween or Die De Muertos or Fate Gede - even
Bonfire Night doesn’t rate; nah, it’s Melbourne Cup
day down in Victoria, the race that halts the Nation
mate. Well sometimes anyway, & yet today, even I
surrendered to a seat in front TV and the couple of
mandatory Margaritas considered minimum fate -
Previously internet Satellite reception & TV died in
bouts of occasionally intense rain - but believe me,
it came back sweet & clear for the actual event, as
if its graciously rated; didn’t take a bet and haven’t
bothered in years - but the two and a half minutes
it takes makes viewing nonetheless exhilarating
