I wasn't very well yesterday, woke up with a bad headache and feeling extremely tired. Carried my arse to work and told everyone I was going straight home. All I did for the rest of the day was sleep, I finally gave into headache pills once my stomach settled down. Today I felt better, but still groggy. Went for a gentle jog this afternoon and am cooking tea, at the moment.
For those of you who don't know, the Melbourn Cup is a world recognised race, with horses coming from all over the globe to race, only about 3 of the horses are from Australia, this race is labelled the race that stops a nation. You will be hard pressed to find anyone not watching or listening to the 3 minute race call, even Bono from U2 watched it from Ireland, as does the queen and most royals, the prime minister and even a heap of Americans. Each time you watch it you get more and more caught up in the atmosphere of the pounding hooves of such magnificent creatures.
This is a picture of my sisters foal, my sister put her horse into foal, unfortunately the mother died, during the birthing. But this little sweetheart has managed to survive the precious early weeks of its life and is almost one year old. I hope her mother rests in peace. Her name is Rosie.
