Evening...

Ronnie, repeat after me:-

"Oztrayans all let us ring Joice, for she is young & free" - I want you to sing those words loud & proud baby. Joice is a bloody legend & a Strayan icon - she sits on a tuckerbox near Wagga Wagga & loves to have a beer with Duncan (but they never ever ever get rolling drunk)

You're all bona fide nutjobs & I loves ya.
I also think the Strayan of the year is bonza - youth mental health, as you are all aware, is something close to my heart. Those crazy feckers I'm related to.

I'm having some true Aussie tucker for dinner - yes, a stir fry.

BURP!

Well, I had Sauerbraten with Kartoffelkloesse and Rotkraut just like the women of the Mallee have been cooking for centuries. Well, a couple a'hundred years anyway.

Moving to the digesting chair. Hope it still fits.

Man vs. Wild.
Well, he's sure got the yuppies mesmerised. There'll doubtless be another series. The bloke's a clown, but, the thing i admire about him is he's got an angle. He went to the broadcast bunnies with the concept, and sold it. He's laughing all the way to the bank, but i hope to Jesu christu he doesn't ever, ever get lost in the wild. :aussie:

Morning Mazzie and all to come, hope you all have a wonderful Australia Day.

Hang around with us Mazz - it's bound to rub off.

Angel - I agree - stoked to see Patrick McGorry get the main gong but I'm a tad miffed that Maggie Beer got Senior Australian of the Year. I was SURE I had that in the bag.

Ronnie - I hope your ceremony will be wonderful. They're usually very emotional.

Right - I'm off to hose down the wombats and clean the echidnas.

I hear that over in Perth, there are 2000 + folk's getting their citizenship today. Wow! What an atmosphere that'll be, and our Ronnie is one of them. Yay!

Of course, for many of us, today is a double edged sword, with the pain of European settlement still being endured by our indigenous brother's and sister's. But, for me, and many other's i know, i see us all moving ahead together, sometimes too slowly, but nonetheless, moving forward, as one people, united in our diversity. Lot's of room for improvement, but, what a nation we are!

And this humble little thread, is a fine example.

Have a reflective, and ripper of a day all!
