*To which, for the uninformed, the proper response is:
"Oi! Oi! Oi!"
And then the ceremonial tipping back of the beer. And today there will be plenty of that going on, particularly in London (or Northern Australia, as it is translated on most Antipodian maps...)
Those of y'all from the Land Down Under, I hope wherever ye are today, be it Aus itself, the US, Banff Canada, or gosh knows where in Europe, you're able to hear enough of your own music to remind you of the warmth your missing, but not so much as to drive you batty and embarass you.
So, to the Aussies:
Happy Australia Day in general (don't go trying to fry an egg over the eternal flame neath the Arc d'Triumph in Paris, either-- they'll be expecting that, you know)
Dean O'Bailey- Happy belated Birthday!
Lisa- Happy Birthday in advance. Today 1 year ago, we were in Lisbon, I'd been in a horrendous mood, and went out and did something shocking and quite out of character... Then we went to Porto for your birthday, and I think that must've been one of my favourite stops last year. The free Port wine certainly helped... I hope you're well.
Beau- Y'all think about it...
And to the rest of y'all, tip one for the Aussies today. But if you do, don't be the typical Podian and think you're all cool drinking a Foster's. They hate the stuff Down Under...
Cheers!
