Things that made me happy today...

It is so easy to think of all the things that have gone wrong or that aren't perfect, but today I will not. I am going to make a list of all the things that made me feel good today and it doesn't matter how small they are;

• Woken up by two, warm, daughters for a morning cuddle;
• Beautiful, sunny morning;
• A tight, goodbye cuddle and a smile like sunshine;
• Coffee with a friend after school drop off. She didn't have a choice, I dropped by on short notice;
• A ride on my bike along the gorgeous, sunny, Scarborough waterfront. Perfect temperature, water sparkling;
• Jumping from fright when my aunt and uncle drove past me and honked;
• a funny text from a friend;
• Bought the Rimmel lipstick by Kate Moss. I am sure I'll look just as cool as her, just older, daggier and not a supermodel with a questionable habit;
• A good carpark at the school; and
• A compliment about something I had done.

Wow, I feel really good now and it's only 5.30pm. I hope you have a list of things that made you feel good today.

Melbourne Cup at Sails on Suttons

I love Melbourne Cup day, this must be one of my favourite days of the year.  I lovely seeing all the men in suits and ladies, gorgeous and wearing a hat or fascinator.  I love headwear and would happily wear one every day.

Now,  Imagine the beachfront, delicious food, chilled wine, great company and the excitement of the greatest horse race in the world .  This was Sails on Sutton in Redcliffe on Melbourne Cup day. The lovely, Hilary Knights and her team put on a wonderful day.  The restaurant looked lovely, the guests were gorgeous and and they were served a mouth-watering three courses, plus bread and a beer or wine.  There was also a fashion parade by Orange Sherbet.  I think Katie managed to find the prettiest girls on the peninsular to model some fun clothes, I loved the colour blocking.  The only thing that could have made my day perfect was my horse actually acting like it was in a race.
