A long weekend.

I am hoping that you are having a beautiful long weekend. On Saturday which was a Australia Day the kids talked us into going up to Moolmoolaba Beach which is just over an hour’s drive from home. I was reluctant to go as I had planned to work on some photos and to start knitting my tea cosy for the swap. We went and I am so very pleased that we did; it was a relaxing , peaceful time watching the activities on the beach, soaking in the scenery and watching the grandchildren play. The beach was really busy and we had set up our spot next to a group of young people who were there for the long haul. They had lounges, a tv set(so that they could watch the women’s tennis final) , plenty of refreshments and a shade tent. The only trouble is that they had too much beer and were slowly wiping themselves out and becoming argumentative with each other.

There seems to be a rise of nationalism, so many people were driving around with flags or were dressed in the flag. I didn’t know that you could buy so many clothes with the flag design on it; mainly the young generation wearing them. I am not sure whether this is a good thing (nationalism. I mean) or not. What do you think?

I will leave you with my photo for Australian Day, a game of beach cricket - a favored Australian past-time.
