Day 92: Anzac public holiday

SLEEP IN!

How divine to not set the alarm and to not have to drive anywhere or do anything specific. We woke at around 9am for a change and had a leisurely morning breakfasting, drinking coffee, sitting in the sun and (in the case of the boys) playing on computers. Peaceful. Bliss.

After lunch we roused ourselves to do something active and headed off to Frankston beachfront for a walk. There is a lovely boardwalk, which we strolled along and were quite suprised to see so many people out and about, fishing off the pier, and a few crazy ones swimming. It is quite cool here, especially in comparison to Tamworth and beyond, though we see from our weather app that Tamworth (and beyond) has also had a plunge in temperature. Oh well, it couldn't last I suppose.

The beachfront walk segued into a walk through the Sweetwater Creek Reserve. This was fairly gentle and not too long, although Andrew had the idea that it was all too much for him. We didn't take much notice and he made it in the end.

The evening has again been spent in leisurely pursuits, WHICH IS MORE LIKE IT!

  1. Spare a thought for those of us who didn't get the Anzac Day public holiday!

    Mind you...the rest of the country should have been at work...a holiday after Anzac day only reduces the significance of the day itself...in my opinion.

    How many states got a public holiday for Anzac day in 2009? Not very many, I don't think!

  2. Is this a sore point for you Dave? Sorry you had to work.

  3. Not a "sore" point...but one I feel strongly about! I'm thankful that I have a chance to go to work, thanks to the Anzacs...I just don't think that people should belittle their achievements by picking and choosing which day we should remember them.
