Wishing of a Sunny Day

Not really because I want to hit the beach but I just want relief. It's been raining for almost a month now and some people in QLD are just mightily affected by it. Towns are flooded and the cleaning up will be worse. Waiting for the water to go down is painful. I reckon, handheld gps will not be useful in flooded areas soon, as roads could be gone.

I'm just praying.

Wet Weekends

It's been almost a month of weather like this on weekends. Rainy. I can't get my washing dry out on the line. Big pet peeve for me. I have some things planned to do that although they were mostly indoors, weather such as this make driving uncomfortable for me.

I suppose, I should be thankful that I don't have to resort to honda snowblowers to get out of our driveway.

I'm almost done with my cooking and cleaning. More blogging to do though and I want to read books today. Plus, some shopping for The Tatapilla's bed.

The Race That Stops the Nation



Melbourne cup brings out the fashionista and gambler in one. People who go to the track anywhere in the country don their best hats and couture and maybe put their bets as well. While those who choose to go to work or watch the race on telly, put their bets on their favoured horse.

My favourite was Maluckyday. It was the 2nd favourite before the race. It ranked 2nd on the race. It was indeed maluckyday.

In the sweeps at the office, I was able to pick Maluckyday and Shooting so I got my money back and a bit more though not enough to finance Disney vacations but no complain. I consider myself lucky actually.
