Happy Australia Day

I don't know what happened... I thought I'd take a few snaps to share, but a few turned into a whole load... so it might be best to grab a cuppa or a glass of water... even a little snack to help you get through the long post :P

How Australian Are You?  Fun Quiz to do: http://getaway.ninemsn.com.au/quiz.aspx?quizid=4686
Ahh, I got 11/18 is that good enough?! :P

So how did we spend Australia Day?... Doing this.... and it was goooood :)

I saw this on Facebook and it made me smile :) 
"YOU KNOW YOU'RE AUSTRALIAN WHEN: You believe that stubbies can either be drunk or worn. You pronounce Melbourne as 'Mel-bin'. You believe that the letter 'l' in Australia is optional, and it's perfectly ok to call it 'Straya'. You think 'Wooloomooloo' is a perfectly reasonable name for a place. You're secretly proud of our killer wildlife. You believe it makes perfect sense for a country to have a... $1 coin thats twice as big as a $2 coin. You understand that 'Wagga Wagga' can be abbreviated to 'Wagga' but 'Woy Woy' cannot be just 'Woy'. Beetroot with your hamburger...of course! You wear ugg boots outside the house. You believe that the more you shorten someone's name, the more you like them. You understand that 'excuse me' can sound rude, but 'scuse me' is always polite. You know what its like to swallow a fly, on occasion via your nose. You know it's not summer until the steering wheel is too hot to handle and a seat belt buckle becomes a pretty good branding iron. You know how to abbreviate every word, all of which usually end in "o": arvo, convo, garbo, metho, milko, muso, servo, smoko, rego, speedo, righto, etc,....you know that there is a universal place called 'Woop Woop' located in the middle of nowhere, no matter where you actually are! And you can understand all of this, had a giggle, and tell all your aussie and international friends. I love Australia!!"

I adore this photo... Lewy was spraying the boys with the hose and they had joy overload :)

Australia Day is not complete in our household without listening to Triple J's The Hottest 100...

Lewy put the hose on the patio roof, so we could enjoy some 'rain' mid afternoon and take away the heat for a few moments.

Remember these??!

To complete a wonderful family day, we enjoyed a BBQ (of course), with this delicious salad....

Poor rose...

What a nice surprise!  It actually rained for real late afternoon! Now I'm enjoying sitting here listening to the rain and thunder. Crazy crazy weather :P

Today was so lovely....

Hope you all had a wonderful day and kept cool!
