How to Celebrate Cliché Day?🌊🏊🦈

"
A cliché is a phrase used over and over and over and over, or an element of artistic work that occurs in films or music just as often. So, is there a better candidate for a Day of the Year than ‘Cliché Day’? After all, it comes up over and over and over and over, just like its namesake! 
If you’re the kind of person who tries to avoid tired old clichés for fear of sounding stupid, this is the day to get them all out of your system in one bound and never have to think about them again until next year.
Cliché Day is the day to advise your brother to ‘seize the day’ (or just exclaim ‘YOLO’ at random moments), accuse your spouse of being ‘drunk as a skunk’, tell your best friend she ‘means the world to you’. In a nutshell, it’s all fine and dandy on this particular day, so go with the flow."
Ironically, Elle Macpherson's dad was the president of the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks at one stage before the Sharks won their one and only NRL Grand Final:-)

How to Celebrate Melbourne Cup Day in 2026, The Year of the Horse?🌏🏆🏇🐴

Today in my country Australia it is Melbourne Cup Day, also known as the day/race that stops the nation.
And I like most Australians like to have a bet on it, so I study the form and put $50 a win on the horse I feel has the best chance of winning.
This year I'm putting my money on #20 Point of Law.
I feel it's a safe to overlook the female jockeys in the race this year.

UPDATE: November 3rd, 2026
Winner, winner, chicken dinner, as they say over here, as this year I am a winner, getting back $390 for my $50 investment:-)
Heads or Tails?
3 Starbucks for this?!
I went to the
Lions and put my bet on at the TAB, then went to Starbucks and had lunch.
Paid $3 for a chocolate gold coin, bought a coffee and some chicken sandwiches for $10, then went home to watch my horse win on TV:-)
The sandwiches were pretty ordinary for 10 Starbucks:-)
It was kind of disappointing watching the race on TV and seeing that Robbie Williams was there performing live at the racetrack.
I was entertained seeing my horse cross the line first though, and got to open a bottle of Champagne Australian Sparkling Wine afterwards to celebrate;-)

UPDATE: November 10th, 2026

after a horrific fall on Sunday
Sad news as Izzy Neale has died from a race fall in Warren, exactly a week after the running of the Melbourne Cup.
