My eldest hates this hat - so of course I must wear it
On Australia Day we come together as a nation to celebrate what's great about Australia and being Australian. It's the day to reflect on what we have achieved and what we can be proud of in our great nation. It's the day for us to re-commit to making Australia an even better place for the future.
Australia Day, 26 January, is the anniversary of the arrival of the First Fleet of 11 convict ships from Great Britain, and the raising of the Union Jack at Sydney Cove by its commander Captain Arthur Phillip, in 1788.
Though 26 January marks this specific event, today Australia Day celebrations reflect contemporary Australia: our diverse society and landscape, our remarkable achievements and our bright future. It also is an opportunity to reflect on our nation's history, and to consider how we can make Australia an even better place in future.
Just adorable......as always!! ;-)))) Love, LOVE your kooky sense of humor! A little confused here....so, today is Australia Day, and what exactly makes that so? And, yesterday it seems it was something about Auckland in NZ.....maybe I should try googling it, right?!
You have some fun things to use for your photos! Now I've not noticed that tattoo before- it is rather well done! Go Australia - now being a NZer, I'm not going to specify where it should go!
@beryl thank you Beryl ha ha @graemestevens it probably is but doesn't mean I am not disappointed - there a places when what's best can bite me - and others well ------shhhhhhh LOL
@bernard thank you Bernard - I am enjoying your animal photos @wordpixman thank you Arthur - I am a bit behind with catching up I hope you are doing well
What does one say to this? It's an Annie D selfie: unique, funny, cleverly done... and always with an acerbic edge or a touch of sadness. Happy Australia Day Annie... don't have toooo many sherbets! (And don't say that you can't have too many!)
Oh Annie, this really cheered me up, I haven't had a good day. We started off the day so well and then outside influences buggered it up for us. I go off people some days. Wish I had a voodoo doll sometimes, ha ha.
@annied Bugger, I was relying on you. I had better do something nice tomorrow to get some feathers back, so I think I should stay away from the person who caused me to lose them today.
