Cup Day



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
