Randwick races

Woke up about 8.30 am and Tiago speak to his family at 9am first on Skype then go for breakfast. Pick parcels up on route  from Post offices then breakfast at Maisy's had hotcakes for a change was good. By the time had done all this got home 10.30 then time to decide what to wear as had a choice of 3 outfits. In the end choose my manning cartell skirt and top as Tiago when else old I wear it and the other 2 dresses could wear on a night out. Also Elli my Clinical Support Officer (CSO) had lent me her black fascinator to wear and went better with this outfit. Luckily I had already had shower this morning so all I had to do was my make up and hair, first started with my make up. As still wasn't sure what to do with my hair, fancied having it curly but normally it takes a while with the GHD's. I tried to curl my hair with my GHD's but seemed to be taking a while so ended up putting it up in a bun. Tiago was just going to wear trousers and shirt but his brother had text him to say was wearing a suit so Tiago had to change. Decided to wear his new blue striped suit but the to decide what shirt which took a while eventually choose a pale blue one. Aim to leave 12ish but ended up leaving abit after got to the bus to Wynyard and then got a taxi from there straight to a Randwick Races. So by the time got to the races was nearly 2 and the second race was just happening. Had a few pictures taken with the races signs and then time to get our free glass of wine unfortuantely was a long queue. But we all bet on the third race and my horse 'Dream Choice' won and Tiago's horse 'Last Try Wins' came 6th. Whilst collecting the winning someone in the queue commented on how lovely my top was and only collected $11.50 but better than nothing. It was the then to go for a wander to find seats and met Gabi's friend who was there with for her friends birthday. Only thing is we couldn't find seating at first so just stood at the edge of the race track so at least got a good view of the race. Eventually Diego found a chair for Gabi, so Tiago went to find one for me and still sat next to the track. The fourth race we didn't do well mine was 'Countryman' came 6th and Tiago's was 'Destiny's Kiss' which came 9th. Then the 5th race we both decided on the same horse 'Dance of Heroes' but it didn't do well ended up coming 7th. It was then time to put on our next bet for the 6th race and this time I had 'Devil Hawk' and Tiago 'Gold Ambition' both horses came no way. Only 2 more races left so the 7th race Tiago's horse came 2nd 'Wine Tales' which was very appropriate since we like wine. But think since it was good odds we only got $10.50 as winning and my horse 'Joyful journey' came 9th. Unfortuantely for the last race both off our horses came no way but I had thought of putting on 'Good Project' which came 3rd. It was then time to collect all our winning as had done on the TAB machine but wasn't much. It was also Diego's and Gabi's first time at the races which there seemed to enjoy but only bet on one race. Was quite funny we only drunk 2 bottles and the free glass between us, both Gabi and Diego were abit tipsy. We then made our way to the free bus and was giving away free bottles of water when leaving which was good. Luckily didn't have to wait long for the free bus and got a seat to Central station, then go to Harry's Wheels for dinner as we were all starving as not had lunch, so just had a hot dog. We then made our way to the bus stop near the the uni and had to wait abit for the bus but first Diego and Tiago had to get bus ticket for Gabi.
