In this order, and I'm doing them all. Halloween, Movember, Marathon, Melbourne Cup & Guy Fawkes.The first one's easy, I have my unused costume from 2 years ago; The second, is for 2 great causes, donate some $ to keep me growing ( https://www.movember.com/nz/donate/donate-details.php?action=sponsorlink®o=1561026&country=nz ); Thirdly, I still may do the half (depending on Saturday nights activities), else I'll be there to support the finishes; I'm all over this next one, the outfit is set, the pre-party in place and I intend to have one huge day at Ellerslie Racecourse. Guy Fawkes has lost some of its sting over recent years, what with all the regulating, but even the smallest display gets me excited going ooooo and arrrrrr.To look at what went on in my life last week.
