Morning Katy.....

The fascinator is all ready to sit atop my tresses at a jaunty angle. Lippy has been found amongst all the bibs and bobs on the dressing table.

SIGNOFF is the horse for me.

Actually, I've just been out buying hats! A saucy little red number for tomorrow and a bigger orange one for Oaks Day on Thursday 🙂

It's ok. One came from Silly Willys and the other was in the 50% off sale 🙂

Read in the paper yesterday: Cup sponsor Myer sells 28,600 "units of millinery" during the racing period.

Is that newsworthy enough for another glass of champers?

Has anyone taken Lidari yet? It's an outsider but I saw on the news last night that another horse ate the carrot next to it's name to pick the winner.

Lidari for me please if not taken.
