It was another perfect Nelson Summer day...the sun was hot and the sky was blue. We headed out to the Nelson Races with R, R's sister and her partner. We got a a great spot by the track and set ourselves up for an afternoon in the sun.
Sorry fr the crappy photo, the hat was essential today. There was a real mixture of people here...those who had dressed for comfort (like us) and those who had dressed to try and win the "Best dressed Filly"...there were some really leathery old dollybirds dressed to kill...plus some people who would not have been out of place at the Melbourne Cup.Not being someone who likes to lose money I was pleasantly surprised to win enough to come out a few $$$ up...in fact the 4 of us had a pretty successful day with winning from about $25 to $50...good stuff.
Stellar and I are just back from a brisk walk in the evening sun while R slaves away on the final layer of wallpaper.

I've never been to the races. Looks like you all had fun, and the big floppy hat was most appropriate. Nicer than some the slappers were wearing, I'm sure. Shame Stells couldn't go too. She would have beaten the race horses. XXX Ps. Miss you lots!
