Happy Australia Day Everyone!

My neighbour and I have already been for our regular Sunday morning walk down to Cremorne Point. I was expecting to see a lot more ppl down there marking their sites for the ferry race later on, but only one cpl with their 2 kiddies had set up their site. The weather is quite cool and drizzly rain, so that may have dampened things a bit.

The P&O Pacific Jewel cruise ship is anchored just off the point. It's the same one my friend and I went on last May. All the cruise terminals must be occupied.

taken from my balcony.

Helicopters are circling.

OH and I are going to the movies later to see the Wolf of Wall Street at the Orpheum again.

For dinner tonight we're having home made hamburgers with my own made mince patties, beetroot, lettuce and tomato on a damper bun lol. And chips of course lol.

Have a great Australia Day, everyone 🙂

I tend to avoid Australia Day gatherings these days, after telling my offspring not to 😄

Sorry Icy, I posted that in the wrong thread.

I hope you're having a good day 😄

Happy Bogan day. Might as well call it "BBQ, Beer & Flag Cape" day. This is really all Australia Day is good for.

Wolf of Wall Street was a good movie, can thoroughly reccommend it.

Lots of frontal nudity and foul language, so beware if you're thinking of going to see it.

It's very long, nearly 3 hours. By the time we got out of the theatre, the sun was shining and clearing clouds.

It's very quiet too (at 5pm), no Bogans running around with Aussie flags as capes and waving stubbies of beer around.
