Tuesday November 4 (Perth)

Some of the girls were off to Ascot today for Melbourne Cup day so Margaret and Edgar were babysitting. I decided to stay back, do my washing and write my blog. I also downloaded all the photos off my camera.

Charlie kept me company and all the washing was pegged out by the time the race was run. Another international victory in the great race, this year a German horse was the winner. 

However, the aftermath of the race was sad as the Japanese horse, the favourite, collapsed in his stall and died and another horse spooked and broke his leg.

The washing all dried nicely as it was another lovely day today, warm and sunny. I also took some photos of the nest of a Willy Wagtail in a tree outside the back door. The nest is tiny and there appears to be two or three youngsters in it, talk about Crowded House, lol!!
