I've come to the conclusion Australia Day means different things to different people at different times of their lives. I celebrate that I live in a diverse country with opportunity, without war.
In the 1990's I went to concerts and fireworks in and around Brisbane, in the 2000s I used the public holiday to visit the farm and in the 2010s I alternate between the farm and avoiding the farm and the end of school holiday traffic. This year I'm at home - the only thing worse than lots of traffic is lots of traffic in wet weather, and it looks ominous for heavy rain. This morning saw a visit to the off lead park (in the rain) with the puppies playing in puddles while next door a fiercely contested cricket match unfolded. Home, doggie bathing, washing soggy leads, towels and shoes, and finally I am about to sit down for some quiet time. However you celebrate, hope you are having fun and staying safe. Writing wise, I've just finished a short story for an anthology and am busting to get back to a futuristic I parked. I had a vision for rewrites of the first 3 chapters, and I can't wait to see how that unfolds. Wish me luck. Comments are closed.
