Tuesday I had breakfast with past Melbourne Cup champions, Rogan Josh and Brew in the mounting yard at Flemington and I held the 18 carrot gold Melbourne cup (with white gloves on).
Later in the afternoon I met and held a bunch of reptiles, quite the experience.

By Friday I met with the RedBalloon Customer Experience team, then I spoke at PwC about gifting strategies – there was not much left of me really, no voice.
