Robert,

I was unaware of this holiday on this side of the world. Glad to learn something new and hope you had a wonderful day

Australia Day (previously known as Anniversary Day, Foundation Day and ANA Day), and also referred to as Invasion Day by several groups within Australian society, is the official national day of Australia. Celebrated annually on 26 January, the day commemorates the arrival of the First Fleet at Sydney Cove in 1788, the hoisting of the British flag there, and the proclamation of British sovereignty over the eastern seaboard of Australia.

Hola Robert

I hope the sun shone on your barbie! The sun has been shining here. We return to a very cold England on Monday!

Adios Gillian

thanks gillian
we had a lovely barbie and entertained most of the day, we were exhausted at the end of it, so i think we should have a holiday to get over the holiday. We have had very hot weather up until yesterday now we have a monsoon trough moving in so it looks like we are going into our wet season early, must get that cat door installed !
dont envy you going back to the cold brrr! keep warm
regards robert.
