Wellington put on a cracker day today (dammit) so Natalie and I were out in the garden getting roasted.  The Wellington cup is on today, and as expected, there are lots of very well dressed drunk people walking past our house (we live walking distance to the race course).  My parents looked after Josh and Ash for a while which was great - we even had time to pop down to the fig tree cafe for lunch.  Natalies parents helped out a bit too and we had everyone around for afternoon tea in the sun on the lawn.
