Windsor Races
Mood:  celebratory
Topic: Elisabeth's Entries
This morning at work I was asked if I wanted to go to the Royal Windsor races tonight--and since I was just planning to go to bed early, I though...why not? The company seems to have many corporate entertaining events where people drop out of at the last minute.

So it took us 2 hours to drive less than 20 miles through the greater London rush-hour traffic, and we made in time for the 3rd or 6 races.

I bet 2.50 on the name I liked the best: Zaafran and came away with 30.00! I was smart and didn't bet any more. Of my own money that is... and at the end of the evening, I was allowed to walk away with a Pimm's pitcher.

My first English horse racing event was very fun. Will have to go back again sometime with Stephen & a picnic.

Stephen did a 9am-9:30 pm shift today, and is not quite as slap-happy as I am. In fact, he's listening to late-night BBC radio 4 and doodling on our bank statement.

Tomorrow at least, he's finally got a day off.
