Saturday In The Land Of Aus.
Don't know how much time I have, we are going to a thing for hubby's work tonight. We are just waiting for traffic to ease. They had the Iron Man Competition at Coogie Beach which is where we are going. They also had the Gay Pride Mardi Gras Parade today which closed some roads. I will get hubby's camera and take a photo of Holy Sheets and I hope to get a photo with a Koala at the Torongo Zoo too. I don't have a photo of the grand peanut yet, I guess they are going to make us wait till we get there to see him. He is our third grand child, that's one girl and two boys! So maybe Granny Doodle will have to be my new name. Who knew? LOL Tid Bits: There was a story on the news about a family who's little dog was swallowed by a Python. I told hubby there's a reason we couldn't live here...... Yesterday was leap year and the tradition here which started in 5th century Ireland is that a woman can ask her guy to marry her on this day. The only rules is that she must wear a red petticoat, so if he sees her coming he can run. He may also turn her down, but there is a consiquence for doing so which tends to change with the times. Yesterday was also the last day of summer here. "Tall Poppy Syndrom" is when you think you are better than others. "Lollipop Girl" is when you are very thin and look like a stick with a head. A regular cheeseburger at McDonald's is $2.00. They don't have cell phones, they have moe-bile phones. They like to "IE" things, so the new breakfast wrap at Micky D's is a Brekky wrap. Tazmania is Tazzy and Brisbane is Brizzy. They are really in a heated protest with the Japanese over whaling. The Aussies are against it. This is the skin cancer capital so they take great measures to protect themselves. A 26 year old girl died last week from it, but yet they smoke like there is no tomorrow. They don't say fillet, they say fillit, like running two words together fill-it becomes fillit.
They have an outdoor upright vaccum, for leaves on the deck etc. They have a mower that has a bigger motor for when you need extra "grunt". LOL They say 50% of adults and 25% of children here are obese, they have a new book out called "Please Don't Supersize Me". Some people say that the weight issue didn't start till a few years ago after some of our fast food hit their shores. Well, that's it for now!
And take without forgetting.
Don't take life too seriously; No one gets out alive.
May You Fly with Eagles
Run with Wolves
Walk with Buffalos
and
Always be my Friend
