I hope everyone had a nice day and didn't over indulge.

I see one has admitted to an excess of beverage, never mind Tello just wait until you get over here and taste some REAL beer instead of the 2% 'maiden's water' that they mistakenly call beer over there.

Fireworks have just started over here.

Might wander out to the front verandah and see what I can see.

The dog has gone for cover.

*CountessA* · « **Reply #56 on:** January 26, 2010, 09:05:24 PM »

I had a most beautiful day, the food was great, the company was terrific, and the atmosphere was light and festive.

It was slightly spoiled by having car trouble on the way back, but I cheered up when the RACV guy fixed the problem within five minutes after having a 40 minute wait.

Happy Australia Day, everyone!

*Ubbie Max* · « **Reply #57 on:** January 26, 2010, 09:05:43 PM »

I'm here. I gave up the TV to Commander In Chief to be on the computer. Anyone know the cricket score?

cueperkins · « **Reply #60 on:** January 26, 2010, 09:07:30 PM »

Hi tess...I think it helps if you motivate the vehicle with a few choice expletives...may not get it started but it gets rid of a lot of pent up stress...lmao...

*CountessA* · « **Reply #61 on:** January 26, 2010, 09:10:20 PM »

I'm amalgamating this into the Australia Day thread to avoid confusion.

Again, Happy Australia Day, all!

Spell it as the real Australians spell it, then! *wicked grin* It ends in "a".

We're just avoiding the activity, not the noun...

ADVANCE AUSTRALIA FAIR

Australians all let us rejoice,
For we are young and free;
We’ve golden soil and wealth for toil;
Our home is girt by sea;
Our land abounds in nature’s gifts
Of beauty rich and rare;
In history’s page, let every stage
Advance Australia Fair.

In joyful strains then let us sing,
Advance Australia Fair.

Beneath our radiant Southern Cross
We’ll toil with hearts and hands;
To make this Commonwealth of ours
Renowned of all the lands;
For those who’ve come across the seas
We’ve boundless plains to share;
With courage let us all combine
To Advance Australia Fair.

In joyful strains then let us sing,
Advance Australia Fair.

Just came back inside after enjoying the fireworks!

Lil Roo took these shots from our verandah....

*Yibida* · « **Reply #85 on:** January 26, 2010, 10:46:09 PM »

Hi Cent how ya bin ?....

*CountessA* · « **Reply #86 on:** January 26, 2010, 10:52:41 PM »

Hello to the lovely Lady Rose. I take it that it was a hot Australia Day up there?

Centuries, what a gorgeous new avatar! It's exactly my style (as certain people here know all too well).

... Wonderful photos, Roo. I saw them in the night sky, but didn't think about photographing them.)

Hello, Yibida - I know you've been busy, but did you have time to enjoy today as a day of rest?

*Yibida* · « **Reply #87 on:** January 26, 2010, 10:55:26 PM »

Yes Tess I had a great day thank you... I wish it ran over 3 or 4 days.. one day is too short...LOL

*CountessA* · « **Reply #88 on:** January 26, 2010, 10:55:48 PM »

And hello, Robbie - your avatar is particularly suitable for today.

Hello, Tello - we can write a song with those lyrics. And I could do with some snow here... I know it's actually quite nice outside, but INSIDE it's a bit warm at the moment.

Hello, M@ggie - the "a" spelling is at least an alternative, although it isn't in the dictionary. *rueful shrug*

Cupie, did you enjoy your Australia Day? BBQ, picnic, game of cricket...?

Perhaps the file size is too large, Rose?

Poddy · « **Reply #92 on:** January 26, 2010, 11:18:11 PM »

Hi there Rosie

did you have a great Australia Day?

Mine was very quiet , me being in the backwoods

but I guess i like it like that, me and my low profile

Poddy · « **Reply #93 on:** January 26, 2010, 11:19:47 PM »

Lil Roo has the makings of a shutterbug

, the pics came out pretty well

tellomon · « **Reply #94 on:** January 26, 2010, 11:25:37 PM »

At the risk of raining on yer parade, I researched the history of this holiday.

The Natives are not happy about it.

Oh well: Majority Rules. It's the same wherever ya go.....

:arr:

That Varieties Gal · « **Reply #95 on:** January 26, 2010, 11:38:24 PM »

that's why I made a point of posting the three flags earlier today!
we are all rebuilding
the culture
the identity
the reclaiming of lost or stolen generations
and it's happening!

tellomon · « **Reply #96 on:** January 26, 2010, 11:44:22 PM »

Better than America's smug attitude about its sordid past.

Those "History Revisionists" are a sorry lot.

Long Live Geronimo!

Poddy · « **Reply #97 on:** January 26, 2010, 11:52:51 PM »

You are so right Tello.

If more people were aware of what they are celebrating at Thanksgiving I think they would lose their apatite on that day

And we too have a few skeletons in our cupboard.

The Canadians too and i guess all nations

lady rose · « **Reply #98 on:** January 27, 2010, 12:09:10 AM »

Hi poddy, quiet day here getting ready to go to NZ next week, cant wait will be cooler over the ditch

Poddy · « **Reply #99 on:** January 27, 2010, 12:14:54 AM »

Rosie watch out for those vicious amorous sheep over there, they sneek up on you when you are not looking :0
