well, not all your friends in the antipodes are celebrating australia day hun, that's all, you know how tetchy you Canucks get when confused with yankees... same goes at this end ;-)
Thanks! Can't say I'm doing anything special, but if I feel up to whipping up a pavlova or a tray of lamingtons (or a lamb chop bbq as Sam Kekovich would have us do) then I'll certainly think of your good wishes :)
Please forgive my ignorance - is there a Canada Day or equivalent?
At my uni here in Sydney, we always started official functions with the following words:
We acknowledge that we stand on the land of the Gadigal people of the Eora nation, the traditional custodians of this land. Land that was stolen but never ceded. We pay respect to their elders.
Sorry to get political, but it's important that we remember that. Happy Invasion Day.
