To the Dogs
We went to the dog racing at Walthamstow for Michaels birthday. It was seriously good fun, more than I expected. I'm waiting with anticipation to go again!
I teamed up with intuitive Helen and we totally broke even, which included a couple of decent wins and a bunch of losses. Beaton came along and enjoyed it.

The architecture is quite impressive. There is something almost nostalgic about it. It certainly doesn't feel like anything to do with London. Inside it feels pseudo posh - like going to posh horse races but not being quite up to par. Beaton said it reminded him of the Hong Kong race track. I liked it. I'm told Wimbledon is very different. Who is up for going to Wimbledon??
