Happy Easter!

It's Easter weekend and I am happy to report that Australians get Friday, Monday and Tuesday off work! It doesn't get much better than that!

I kicked off Friday with by shooting down to the beach and enjoying one of those rare and much loved autumn days when you're still able to walk around in your shorts and singlet. I took a stroll with a friend down to Gordons Bay and snapped this picture with my phone. It's not the best photo but it gives you an idea of how lovely Sydney is, and how often I take it for granted!

Today is raining, which is actually good because it will give me a chance to do my house cleaning, and get into some cooking for Easter Sunday. I am so thankful for my crew of friends around the holidays. We always have the best time, and are guaranteed to eat and drink way too much, and often all fall asleep on someone's couch! In that respect, it's really not any different from holidays at home with my real family!

We'll have to try and behave though, because Monday is Anzac Day, which is one of the best days of the year. It's a Veteran's Day, and everyone, young and old, goes to the pubs to play a game called two-up where you bet money on which side a coin will fall on. And then of course, there's the party on Monday night, the last grand hurray before the weekend is officially over. I'll be listening to Mushroom Jazz from American DJ Mark Farina at the Ivy, which should definitely be interesting. I'll keep you posted! Happy Easter everyone!
