Melbourne cup lunch

Tuesday 6 November

 

Eleven of us met at the Manly Bowling club

for a Melbourne cup lunch.

 

My first Melbourne cup lunch since I retired.

 

 

My friends use to go every years.

I use to be very envious as I had to stay back

to look after the children whose mothers

were enjoying themselves

 

 our table

pre-dinner drinks

L-R Rhian, Todd her husband, Ian, Martha and her husband.

We did not know that we will be having a glass of

champagne with a strawberry before lunch was serve.

me and the chef

 

 cold chicken, ham and pasta salad,( I did not have any)

 rib, I had one and cold beef, did not have any

 

and tomato, I did not have any my plate was full

 roasted vegetables

 potato salad

 the green salad was left intact.

they should have put it at the beginning.

I usually put the salad on my plate and the meat on top

 

there was also a curried prawn

and rice (not photograph, you know what it look like)

enjoying my rib

you bet Claude did not see this photo that Martha took.

she just e mail it to me.

 Tricia and Martha

 

 in the spirit

 

 

Tricia pretty hat.

 

Martha and Camille had big black hats

 

 that remind me, I was wearing this pretty clip

of 3 frangipinis on the left side

Claude took this photo today but I had my hair cut

this afternoon so it look a bit different.
