G'day, people.
Sharon/LDM, I don't blame easy child for being excited about her trip. And online check-in - we love it too, it makes life so much easier.
Sharon/Wiped, that must have been a fairly noisy storm if it kept you up like that.
It was Anzac Day today Down Under; also celebrated in Gallipoli (Turkey) and in France. We began with a dawn service in our village and then instead of staying for breakfast (the crowd was just too big - almost everybody was there, it seemed) we came home for breakfast. husband & mother in law watched the Sydney dawn service and march on TV, after which the Dawn Service from Gallipoli was broadcast, followed by the French one. The coverage on TV was about half the networks, for most of the day.
BF2 had to go in to work - his was one of the few businesses open today, even though it was only for five hours.
While listening to all the broadcasts I got on with my gardening. My vegetable garden is right outside the kitchen door, so I could stay in touch with it all while planting out my winter seedlings. husband put his overalls on and filled the wheelbarrow with compost for me, so between us we did a thorough job. Meanwhile mother in law kept her eye on the TV to watch for the various military units connected to our family, so we could watch. We don't know anybody in them, but it doesn't matter. husband was wondering if his uncle (father in law's brother) had travelled interstate this year to be with his unit, but we didn't see him on the TV so we don't know.
After all the coverage finished we had just enough time to take a barrow load of compost to mother in law's place to do some gardening there as well. We finished just before sunset. I have some sore muscles and I don't think I will go for my walk tonight - I've done my exercise quota today, and then some.
Tomorrow I have an afternoon meeting to go to, then on Sunday after church there is a farewell party for a friend who used to babysit for our kids when they were little. Then on Monday school is back for another term and we REALLY get busy!
Enjoy your Friday, everyone.
