Australia Day



I've never really been that excited about Australia Day but it seems the general populace is becoming increasingly excited about it. This year a newspaper gave out flags to put on our cars. The flag is flown more in people's gardens and there is an alarming increase in nationalism which seems to exclude any race that was not here 200 years ago.

On Australia Day this year, my sister and her husband celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary with an Australia Day party. They met and married in London. This year they shared the day with family and friends and capped it off with an amusing "renewal of vows" and an Australia shaped cake.
