What To Do

... when you can't be on the foreshore due to a nasty bug. This will be the first time in a very long time that we haven't been in the thick of it, but when things get like this you gotta stay home... This time is Trish's turn to feel unwell so we'll watch the festivities on TV and we've already started to party here, how does an Aussie Australia Day at home go again?

Start with a few good cold beers - check, these babies were as cold as you can get in liquid form. Made the midday heat bearable at any rate. Some good Aussie cheddar, Tasmanian blue cheese, Turkish olives, German sausage for snackie sized stuff, on crackers, natch.

A good Italian coffee in long black form.

Ah Australia is a lucky country, now if only we could get some real politicians...
