We had Marks work Christmas do on Friday night at Moonee Valley, it was a great night....placed my first bet (ever) on a horse in the first race and it won !! had a few other bets though the night but didn't leave there with less money than I started with so that was good. :)
We had a 3 course dinner... I had... salmon on cucumber with caviar ( I think the caviar was coated in honey) gee it was nice. Followed by chicken with tartare sugared sauce on a bed of asparagus, and desert was Apple and walnut turnover with cream and strawberries.
We each got a little silver desk clock with Christmas greetings engraved on it...these were in neat little boxes, on our tables. We were seated at the front near the window and had a great view of the field as well as having little flat screen monitor on the table.
The company sponsored a race and Ian, Greg and Mark went and had their pics taken with the owner of the horse, this was while the main course was being served. But a waitress organized for their meals to be taken back to the kitchen and reserved once they returned.
We did take a few pics...of ourselves before we left home...Mark wore a suit which he hasn't done since we were married 17 yrs ago..!!..and I wore a dress..!!.thanks to Karen for the loan...and for straightening my hair.
