and it gets even better

My new boss (albeit temporary casual one!!) likes to bet on the gee-gees. All his mates ring up and he goes to great lengths justifying why or why not he has picked a particular horse in a particular race on a particular track.
I put my once yearly bet on the Melbourne Cup - $5 each way on Viewed - number 10. Basically I did it because the Sunday paper writer said to pray for rain and it had rained buckets for two days. But unbeknown to me it wasn't a heavy track!! But Bart Cummings did train him and he is the record holder.
So history shows that Viewed won!! And the odds were something like 46-1 so I pocketed $302. You gotta love that!! Now I jokingly try to give my boss tips!!!

And the even better thing is that Kelly and I are jetting off to Queensland soon, only 5 days but wow they are gonna be action packed. Dreamworld, Wet 'n Wild, Casino/dinner - 3 things booked already. And we will bring our new house mate back. Ockie the cat...photos soon!!

We both need the break and are both looking forward to catching up with my sisters family again - twice in 6 months!!
