I hope this is ok. I've lost count of how many times I've stopped and started.
Hi Pen,
I read your post as I was going up in a lift. It was a great post on any number of levels.
Today, for the first time in my life, I picked the winner of the Melbourne Cup. I can't take any credit for correctly assessing the form. I heard the announcer on ABC Brisbane give her pick as
Without a Fight. As it was the only horse that I knew in the race, I made it my pick too. Since the betting syndicate I belonged to down south broke up, I haven't had a bet, so all I got was satisfaction.
I think I told you about the one visit we had earlier this season from a cane toad. The Cleveland mob have been having 4 or 5 a week but last night was the first time one managed to get into the house.

I don’t think Blue would pull my leg, do you?
My rebus to day is the first line of a nursery rhyme, probably from the eighteenth Century, set in Oxfordshire.
#4 1 #4 #5 #2 7(#3 #4) #5
Conceptually one line, Indefinite article not pictured.
Picture 1. Verb(4).
Picture 2. One word (7). It’s on his hat but you only need the first four letters.
Picture 3. Two words (7, 5). You need the second word.
Picture 4. One word (5). Pick the one that fits. Use his first two or last two letters. They are the same.
Picture 6. One word (5). Any single piece of fruit. Make homophone.
Picture 7. One word(8). Use the first five letters.
And I’ll leave you with.
