Happy Australia Day!

I love that Australians are really starting to celebrate being Australian. We went down to Mandurah tonight and nearly every person we saw had an Australian t-shirt or hat or flag or headband or shorts etc- it was great! We went down there wearing our Australia t-shirts, hats and tattoos! What a beautiful night. We decided, last minute, to go to the Red Manna restaurant- absolutely beautiful, we sat outside on the balcony, ate delicious food, drank good wine and generally had a wonderful evening.
Something big was going on however. From the restaurant we could see a huge fire- really huge. Someone in the restaurant said Farmer Jacks (a supermarket) was on fire. On our way home we passed (going towards Mandurah) two fire engines and an ambulance- hopefully it is only buildings burnt and not injured people.
Anyway, kiddos are in bed and that is were I'm heading. I'm going to watch the TV coverage of the Sky Show. We have to be up early tomorrow- tball starts and we have to be there by 7.30- blah!
Night,
