Sitting here wondering if I'm Pollyanna or Eeyore - Day 115: Anzac Day

A very dark and rainy day - not pleasant for the brave veterans who nevertheless marched in the parade in Sydney that I watched in its entirety (or had on while I blogged etc) - that suited blogging, reading and chilling.

Steve came over about 1pm and we had a very easy, quiet day.

And my sister posted this fabulous pic of my niece Zara waiting for the Anzac Day Parade on the Gold Coast ...

LOVED this brilliant poem and illustration by Leunig. Powerful stuff.

Watched quite a bit of Anzac Day marches, shed a tear or two in thankfulness for the sacrifice of our veterans and blogged, napped, watched second episode of "Defiance" and went walking with Waz before Steve came over for the night ...

Swimming Pretty in the Glass-Half-Full 2012: Day 116 - Lest We Forget

A mid week public holiday is a glorious thing, interrupting the busy flow of work for one precious span of 24 hours. But we can never forget what it means and the men and women who sacrificed much so I could relax and chill on a day off in a peaceful, prosperous and free country. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the great things you did for me and all Australians.

The only outing was to the movies to see a military-themed Hollywood blockbuster - it was not picked because of that and I only realised the symbolism later on - "Battleship" and really wished I hadn't. (See my review here.) But loved hanging out with my gorgeous guy, Stepehn and Fahmi and stopping for pastizzis in King Street on the way home.
